Letter samples from Jean

Going through boxes in my studio I came across the many paint samples I've saved over the years from Kmart's Martha Stewart paint line. I also found my copy of "Brush Lettering" by Marilyn Reaves and Eliza Schulte and thought I would finally put brush to paper. I like the contrast of the black letters on the color samples. I cropped them to a more square format but haven't decided if I will actually crop the samples.

Flame On!

These letters were created with Flame Painter, a drawing website linked from Kim Kommando, the digital goddess. http://www.escapemotions.com/experiments/flame/index.html

It's so cool to draw with! I may never touch pen to paper to do my letters for ALAW. There are many variations for to your control: color, size, opacity, saturation. The background is either black or white, which gives the drawing a smoky effect.

Others have posted how they will put together their letters. I haven't decided yet. I want to have mine ready for the Montana State Fair where the Big Sky Scribes will have a show.
