As I finished my March project, I knew I wanted my next one to be about lettering. I couldn’t stop thinking about it but I was also scared of trying. My lettering isn’t so great. I wasn’t sure I could do it. But then I remembered that this was supposed to be both fun and practice. The goal was to just try. And if it’s not perfect, well so be it. Nothing I do is perfect. It’s just fun and as long as it continues to be so, it’s worth it! So it was decided. I picked some wise quotes I love and decided to letter one a day.
