Lines and Grids is the topic for my Sketchbook Project. That is pretty safe, since most of the tools I use leave a line. I have developed a new perspective on what I see. Look at what that artist has done! See the magic of those lines! How did they do that?! The above is lettered with homemade Logwood ink that was a gift. The quote was by Madeline L'Engle.
This pattern came from the book, 500 Wooden Bowls. I mean, there it is again. Observing and appreciating what others have done.

Great start to the Sketchbook Project ! This is going to be really interesting. I look forward to what else you come up with. When I first looked at the themes on offer, this was oe of the ones I crossed off my list as "too hard". I choose "The View from up Here" nstead. IN the planing stage and going to start very soon .,
Whew! Your calligraphy is fabulous! Both of these are perfect for your topic too. Well done.
Thanks for sharing! I have always had an interest in calligraphy though, as with much in life, I have not taken the time to apply myself to learning it. You have a wonderful script :)
The quote is wonderful, and meaningful to me as a father. I love the beautiful way you wrote it. And the pattern is astounding!
Lovely stuff! It's so interesting to see what other people do with/in their sketchbooks!
First I thought the writing in the first picture was computer font! Perfect calligraphic skills, really!
Also love your play lines!
Lovely - your calligraphy is just amazing - it's so beautiful!! nancy
I love what you've done so far, I also thought your theme was too difficult, but it certainly suits your work.
The first thing I thought of when I saw your writing was the beauty of hand writing. I get so used to printing these days!
Congratulations on joining the sketchbook project. I haven't yet, but have thought about it. OH, have fun with lines! They're everywhere...even if they don't exist in Nature...sort of!
