Inspire Me Thursday: Word Art I


I’m still working on last week’s Inspire Me Thursday theme: Abstract Art. But the new theme, Word Art, is right up my alley.

Here’s a piece I did in high school or college, before I ever knew about calligraphy. It consists of a collection of quotations about love, many of them conflicting with one another. I used felt-tip markers and paper from some unremembered sketch pad.

Later, I did word pictures of people. I’ll post the one I did for my mom back in ? A long time ago, anyway, but after I had begun to learn calligraphy.

  2. Thanks for the comments, y’all. I enjoyed looking at this one done so long ago and comparing it with what I’m doing now.

  3. Thanks, Maggie and Christine. I always love to get feedback. Christine, have you ever seen any micrography? Now that’s tiny writing.

  4. This is sooo cool! I love the patterns your lines of words make as they work their way around the hearts. Your other submissions are wonderful as well!
