A Letter a Week: S

Grrrr. I'm not at all happy with this one, but there's no time at present to re-work it. Believe it or not, all the pen work was done with the same ink, but the fine lines look much darker than the letters that were executed with a broad nibbed pen. There are smudges and smears but let's just pretend a couple of beautiful snowflakes fluttered onto the paper and left their mark, shall we? That sounds much nicer than my hand dragging across the page before the ink dried, doesn't it?

You may not be able to see them, but the smears really are there! See?

I think it looks pretty, Kim. Snow is white, and the white space is reminiscent of snow, so it works. :) (I STILL think you should make these into a quilt - or at least into patterns for a quilt - or cross-stitch. :))
This is so pretty Kim!! Love the blue and the snowflakes...
What smudges and smears? Its lovely!
I think it's beautiful...
I don't see any smudges and smears.... It's very nice, if you ask me.
I think it's beautiful ~ you are so talented!
It seems to me that some of us are our own harshest critics. I still think its lovely!
Kim, it's beautiful! Lovely. Gorgeous. You have a gift!
Kim, I was going to quit blogging for the night, but your comment on the Anthology page had me intrigued. Snowflakes--a perfect choice for S, but I do hope we don't see too many of them this winter:) I'm sure you as the artist see the imperfections in your calligraphy, but I think it's beautiful!
Lovely work, Kim!
Season's greetings for a highly relevant S (at least to us up here in the north).
Lovely work, Kim and I see no smudges or smears.
As for me snow is a four letter word.
Sigh.
Bear((( )))
It is pretty even if you're not satisfied with it! I think it almost has a 3D look about it.
