I'm kind of excited because I can see my lettering improving over the days!  It's proof, once again, that practicing something every day really does help you improve!  

So, which of these lettered quotes is your favorite?

Thanks for stopping by!

  • All of the quotes are thought provoking. I will share the one about Attitude (an ordeal or an adventure) with a close friend who needs an attitude adjustment!
    I need to doodle more, so thanks for the inspiration. P.S. Have fun in Houston.

  • Oh they are all so awesome, but I think my favorite is the first one that says, “Beautiful”. Are you going to teach a lettering coarse, because I am very interested in taking it if you are? Thannks for all the “beauty” you share with us. I come here “everyday”.

  • Julie I must say I found something to like in all of them, but the attitude one, really struck me. It seems there are so many negative people and if they would just change their attitude they would find the world is a great place! Do you have a favorite book that you get these quotes from or do you google for them? I think this might be a way for me to practice lettering – I have a great cursive script but can’t print worth a darn – and want to!
