I tried to create beautiful letters but... my own handwriting is way too stubborn to change into something more calligraphic. On the other hand, it's way better than my 4AM handwriting! The first layer is made with a ballpoint pen & water color. The second layer is stamping with inks and acrylics. The third layer is the quote surrounded by gesso.
A nice reminder for everyone who wants to stop procrastinating!
Oh and did you know I have joined instagram? Not sure if I will use it frequently (who would, with 2 professional camera's, right?) but you never know. You can find me here.
The layers and colours work well to make an interesting and lovely piece of artwork:)The lettering looks great to me.

Lovely colors and textures, very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI find it great! :) I think we all dislike our own handwriting but I look at it as something to cherish years from now. :)
ReplyDeleteThis has so many wonderful layers! I think your handwriting is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYour handwriting is perfectly you, which is true for all of us. And I love the saying.
ReplyDeleteI think we all wish our handwriting was more elegant or different from what it is. I think we think that about our various body parts as well. But when someone else looks at it, they see something very different. (Be silent inner critic). This is delightful and a reminder I would love to have hanging where I could see it every day.
ReplyDeleteSmashing page with lots to look at in the layers. Great quote as well. Happy PPF, Annette x
ReplyDeleteLots of wonderful creativity in your painting and handwriting looks lovely ~ Great message ~ (A Creative Harbor)
ReplyDeleteI struggle with lettering, too, but I know I am not patient enough to learn calligraphy. I think your lettering looks great here. You have achieved a lot of beautiful depth and texture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great reminder to us all. Wonderful layering and a wonderful piece. Happy PPF
ReplyDeletelove the layering and what a great quote-love it!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm stopping by from Art Journal Everyday at Balzer Designs. Your layering and colors are very nice and the little doodling around the edge, I love. If we could all do Calligraphy lettering, well, wouldn't that be something? I struggle with hand lettering also but I tell myself to be patient and keep trying. I'm your newest follower, I'd love it if you would come over and follow me back!
ReplyDeletemy writing is like chicken scrawl so I don't think yours looks bad... in fact I would be happy if mine was this legible... great quote by the way...xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful work and important message in that quote!
