Micah 6:8
Sunday, May 7th, 2006
This is my most recent calligraphy project, made as a gift for our parish priest, who is celebrating the fortieth anniversary of his ordination. I actually started it over Easter break, but I finished it up this morning. The Bible verse I used is one he’s sort of taken as his motto, so it was an obvious choice. The colors and decoration were more arbitrary. I’m reasonably pleased with the way it turned out, but I think it’s obvious that my lettering has a long way to go. The lines are not actually crooked–or rather they are, but only along the tops, since my letters apparently tend to get shorter as I progress down a line. I should work on that. (4×6″ on cream-colored paper. The letters are drawing ink, the leaves are thinned acrylic.)
