Colored Pencil Odyssey
Long-time readers of Feathers of Hope will know that both Numenius and I like watercolor pencils. I also like non-soluble ones and have a large collection of Prismacolors. Sounds like there are others I should try, but for now, I have penty to be going on with.
The idea here is to use colored pencils to “sculpt” letterforms and areas around them, following an article I read in the latest issue of Bound and Lettered.
I’ll post some results here soon, but [Images uploaded 1/11/07] for now I’m having a great time experimenting with color, shading, texture. It’s not just a medium for children…

Sounds like a lot of fun- looking forward to seeing examples.
