Performance Anxiety

I lettered this little bit yesterday,

using the tiny end of some of my Marvy LePlume II markers. 

(My new neurals!) 

♥  ♥  ♥

I love love love love love the tip of those pens!!!

I wish I could purchase them locally,

so I could collect 5 new colors each month. 

Also, I wish they were lightfast.  <sigh>

I wish a lot of things!  LOL

I guess that’s why I love my Zig markers,

because they are lightfast.

But their pen somehow isn’t quite as delicious
as the LePlume II’s.  To me,  of course.  (!) 

I think the Marvy’s have a smaller barrel
and they fit my hand better.

But, I digress. 

I lettered the first half of this saying and got interrupted. 

Why I decided to try Romans yesterday,

I’ll never know, but suddenly I was on a roll. 

The pen tip wasn’t too juicy,

so adding some more weight,

or just a dot here and there, was very easy to do. 

And if you know anything about Formal Romans,

it’s that you can fiddle with them forever!

So later in the afternoon I went back up to the Studio

and thought about how to finish the piecelet,

and that’s when I wondered if I should even try…

I was so afraid that I’d mess it up, that I just left it alone!!!!!

(All those Romans and ALL that work!!)

Does that happen to you???

I guess in this day and age,

everyone does stuff on their computer in PhotoShop,

so it isn’t an issue for them anymore,

but not me. 

I do things the old-fashioned way,

with pen in hand on real paper.

So, I don’t know if I’ll ever finish it. 

Perhaps it should just keep telling me to Keep Calm!

LOL

I do know that I will keep playing with Romans with these pens. 

Nothing too wet or uncontrollable for all that “tweaking”. 

I think next time I’ll try it on better paper. 

This was just some scrap paper that I had lying around.

Can you imagine what fun this would be
on a highly sized paper??  Yummy! 

Now I know what to do in the Studio today!

Okay!  Keep calm, everybody!

XOXO,
