It’s time for the next graphic in my weekly series “Spencerian Saturday“!!! Every Saturday I add another gorgeous image from an early calligraphy book. The image selected today, is not actually a pen flourished image at all, it’s actually an engraving. But it is from the same book, and I have promised to share every page with you, so here it is. And well really… it is gorgeous!
The original scanned version of this fabulous Engraved Bird with Banner, is seen just above, and at the very top of the page, is a version I made just for fun, in blue.
This one is a cleaned up version of the original. These would be so lovely to use for labels!
XXXOOO

I have atteneded some art classes last year where there was some paintings like it. But actually they are painting and painted through the brush and water color.
I was really surprised i hope you will too.
Thank you.

February 4, 2010 at 1:54 pmHi Ceddins965,
To personalize it, you can use a program like photoshop. Or you can do it the old fashioned way, and just print it out and hand write in whatever you like.
I hope this helps!
Karen

February 18, 2010 at 11:56 pmAnother thank you coming your way. This is an amazing site, I love to just browse it. I have captured some of the images and eventually will use one on my blog header. I change the header often but am hoping to configure one that will become familiar to my blog. Thanks again.
