What's your type?

 

I'm once again joining my friend Neet at Hickydorums, our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  By now you may know she has chosen Type as her theme. 

I was so happy and felt very fortunate when I found these two identical paper dolls. 

Further, I used and recycled the rest of the pages I printed out several days ago.

It was like putting a jigsaw puzzle together.

What is your type?

What type are you?

I chose lots of different types of fonts for this spread.

Earlier this month, I computer generated several fonts that I formatted in very specific font properties: original font, bold, italic, shadow (which didn't print the shadow), small caps, strike through, and bold/italic.  In order to get them all on the same page, I removed some of the excess font properties.  However, I kept all the strike through and the small caps properties.

For this page, I began by combining two colors of pink Staz-on reinkers to which I added 91% isopropyl alcohol.  I spread these on a sheet of 110 lb. cardstock and allowed the alcohol to dry.  

 

After fitting all the fonts on the page in a dry run, I outlined each font using brown dye ink.  It started to look like a puzzle with individual puzzle pieces.  I then adhered each font to the page using a glue stick.

 

I've had three Dymo label makers with three different fonts for years, and all of a sudden, only one would work properly.  I had planned to use two different label makers, but I was just glad one worked properly for this page. Once I adhered the labels, I added the two TH paper dolls.

Thank you beyond belief for visiting today.  Bleubeard and I are delighted you dropped by and hope to see you soon at Art Journal Journey with your own take on Type.
