Love Your Letters: Communicate Visually with Words

I have this tattooed on my shin. Cliche, I know.. but my Dad is a really diehard JRR Tolkien fan, and he talked about getting the previous line tattooed (All that is gold does not glitter), so I surprised him by getting the second line. :-) I'll take a picture and post it!

what a sweet surprise!  great story, thanks for sharing it with me.

My own sketches appear at the bottom of the post. &nbsp;

Except for a calligraphy course that taught me the basics last summer, this will be my first foray into the art of hand-lettering. &nbsp;I have no great apsirations for my talent-level, but I'm looking forward to working on one of my favorite quotes by Mr. JRR Tolkien.
