Spencerian Saturday - Bird with Nest Engraving

Click on images to enlarge




It's time for yet another graphic in my weekly series "Spencerian Saturday"!!! Every Saturday I add another gorgeous image from an early calligraphy book.



The original scanned version of this exquisite bird with nest engraving, is seen just above, and at the very top of the page, is a version I made just for fun, in aqua.

This one is the cleaned up version of the original. This gorgeous graphic is my absolute favorite image from this book! I thought it was quite fitting for today, as the sun is shining and the air is warmer, and the snow is nearly melted, where I live. All signs that Spring will be here soon!

XXXOOO

  8. Karen,
    I don't have a blog nor do I do a lot of altered art but I LOVE your site!! You are my reward when I clean and redecorate my house for the Holidays or seasons. When I'm done (which sometimes drags on and on!) I can choose a beautiful vintage image for my wallpaper on my laptop for that season. I truly enjoy it so much every day when I sit down to my work. Thank you for all you do!! V
