Word Play Countdown... 6

It was bound to happen. I had to break every damn rule and try to create totally unique letters based on my own handwriting. This piece, "Follow Your Bliss," is still unfinished. I will finish it, and I really love that "w".

What is wrong with breaking rules? I am breaking some myself as I try my hand at letter. I love yours!I removed my first comment,, I mispelled a word.

There is a quote attributed to the Dalai Lama that says we must learn the rules so we can properly break them. I'm not sure there actually are any rules to free-piecing letters, but if there are, you have broken them beautifully.

Actually Sophie, when I was in college studying Lettering, my professor always said you had to learn the rules first before you break them. I'm a big believer in that.

Thank you for the lovely compliment.

I'm glad you take the path of not following the rules. Can't wait for your new book to be released!
