Hello
everyone, fantastic N tags last week! It
was great to see all your inspiring tags again.
For this week’s
O theme I have used Opposite styles of calligraphy. The bold and condensed words in Black Letter are Overlaid
with a spidery, scrawly script written with a fine silver pen, (this is my
usual handwriting!). The silver words
are some of the definitions of opposite:
conflicting, contradictory, contrary, opposing,
differing, discordant, and incompatible.
I backed the tag onto handmade paper painted
with silver ink. The two layers are
tied together with a silver ribbon. The wispy fibres of the torn edges contrast
well with the black pages of my tag book.
This photo
shows the two pens I used.
This photo
also shows an Oblique pen. The Oblique Penholder is especially designed
for Copperplate writing - it helps the nib point in the right direction! I haven’t tried this yet – I’ll let you know
next week if it works!
An Oblique cut is when a nib is cut at an
angle instead of at 90 degrees. Often
used for left-handed pens.
That’s all
for now, have a wonderful creative week!
Love Jane xx
