second alphabet started at last

I Ihave been doing a lot of research for my second alphabet. I thought I would do a series of historical decorated letters, each letter a different style from a different period in history. This was for my own benefit (for my teaching notes) as well for this project. However once I started I realised the letters had nothing of 'me' in them . That was until I hit the 17th century and found a vast array of Baroque decorative capitals that writing masters created to show off their expertise - like wow! OK not everyone's cup of tea for sure, but there was so much potential to PLAY with line and colour and go really over the top here! So I have started with a rush and done the first 6 letters based on a sheet of caps created by a German writing master called Paulus Franke in 1601. I used speedball C nibs or parallel pens for the thick lines, a copperplate nib for the thin lines and Mattise acrylic inks for all the colour. This is fun!
