T is for Tigers and Tails
My Tag this week is all about Tigers and Tails . Did you
know that some letters have Tails? The Tail
of a letter is a diagonal line such as the one that comes off the Q or a Y. The descending, often decorative, diagonal
stroke on K or R is the Tail.
The descenders on f, g, j, p, q, and y
are also called Tails.
On the left
side of my Tag is a drawing of a Tiger
to go with my calligraphy piece this week, Tiger
Tiger burning bright by William Blake. The stripes of my Tiger were made with a broad nib pen, tinted
with coloured pencils, On the right side
I have written 'Letters with Tails K Q R f g j p q y', with the
word Tails
and the various letters written in gold ink. This doesn’t show up
too well in the photo! To finish it off I
have made a Tie
with several Tiger
coloured Threads.
Thank
you for all your sweet comments last week, looking forward to Taking a look at all your T Tags.
Bye for now,
Love Jane xx
