in honor of this evening's $250 million powerball jackpot, we thought we would share one of our recent scratch-off save the date designs for carly + tom. carly came to us with visions of a romantic and traditional design combined with the lighthearted scratch-offs. we added touches of romance by using a lace pattern and a palette of grays and silvers. at the bride's request, we added a pop of pink to the word love.

good luck if you are playing!

This is a little practice piece I did with a Pilot Plumex fountain pen. I have been practicing while recovering from hand surgery last week.

Before my practice session tonight I altered the pen nib to a shape that can easily float on the paper surface with little preassure. Instead of a pointed nib I sanding the tip to an angle shape. I then burnished the sharp edge by rubbing the nib on a flat piece of aluminum until it was smooth and did not tear the paper fibers. After several attempts with the fountain pen I had a composition to scan and recreate as vector lettering. The pen now writes like a Speedball nib.
