We lettering-type people see things a little differently sometimes. This was a design I'd had in mind for some time, and finally got together for a Christmas gift this year.
A couple who are some of my dearest friends have these names that a) work in crossword form, and b) are perfectly symmetrical when they do. Amazing! First I drew the letters in Roman caps with a pointed pen, then the ampersand with a broad nib, then mashed them up on PSE9 (BTW the stuff I learned in
Harvest Crittenden's"Photoshop for Calligraphers" online class saved me
countless hours this holiday season--take it next time it's offered!). The finished design was uploaded to
zazzle and applied to a set of lovely and useful sandstone coasters.

(Of course, etched on glass and without the ampersand, the design would be completely reversible! I'm just saying. Welcome to the calligrapher's mind...)
Love the design!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.~~
Beautiful work, Jody! Love the ampersand. What a great gift idea!
