Topic: Bible Journaling
Five days of lettering lessons online have brought us again to a finished journaling page in the Bible. This week the focus word was 'light' and we learned a shadowed block style based on our own handwriting (printing).
Monday, we learned the basic technique:
Tuesday, we worked out out own alphabet based on the techniques learned on Monday. You'll note that the Monday page is done with a looser style and overlapping letters. For my alphabet reference page, I wanted the letters to be more consistent as they can always be edited to a more casual style when put into use. Instead, I used my alphabet to experiment with shadowing styles.
This block letter style uses shadowing only on one side, not on two ajacent which would show more 3D.
Wednesday, we used our lettering to write words having to do with light. I had an image come to me and used that to draw up a display piece.
On Thursday, I used the font to do my daily scripture writing lesson even though it did not contain the focus word. It did give me a lot of practice in overlapping the letters, though.
And, today (Friday) I have my finished journaling page in my Bible using the font.
Where the letter components crossed one another, I inserted little nails to hold them together!
