Lettering

Today  I did a pretty cool tutorial I found about lettering

Well its basically how to doodle your way to a beautiful letter!


On the page that the pin links you to there are tons of tutorials for lots of different things that use Sakura products.

I went to Hobby Lobby and bought a couple of the Sakura brand pens, which are amazing and worth the price if you are a hard core doodler. I can't wait to add to my small collection.

I followed her tutorial and I did the letter R like she did.

She makes it so easy!

Joanne Fink is the woman instructing in the video and I loved her handiwork so I googled her and she has some books that I have already put on my amazon wish list!

I think I'm going to have to go buy some gel pens and keep doodling! I just wish I still had my gel pen collection from fifth grade...

Here is another letter I did:

How To Paint Letters Perfectly

Today's pin is "how to paint letters perfectly"

This pin takes you to a blog where the blogger explains how she personalizes wood that she is painting. Its a pretty simple process and it works like a DREAM!

"take me to the sea"

 The idea is you print out the word/letter/font you want, tape the print out on to the wood you want to paint, trace them with a ball point pen (it makes an indent in the wood so you have an outline! genius)  and you paint within the outline. you can see my first word "take" is a little off but once I got the hang of it, it was easy.

It is something I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to personalize something, I'm certainly going to use this technique again.  My daughter's headboard is next!
