In my previous post, Lovely Lettering Projects, I realized I keep lettering the same way over and over again.
Anyway, I’ve always used graphite paper to transfer letters, then just fill in with paint.
This was a little off because I tried to curve it. Yes, I should’ve done it on the computer first, but I was too impatient.
I wish I’d had a Cricut for this project. It took a while to transfer the letters, and even longer to paint them all in. But the end result turned out pretty well.
The tricky part with Lester was making his nameplate proportional to his body.
It’s a lot easier to just add the pet’s name on a tag. Butters’ full name wouldn’t fit, though – Butters Worthington Scotch. Whew!
No matter how you do it, the key to good lettering is the proportion to the entire piece, I think.
I’m linking up these projects to these great parties. Take some time and see what everyone else has been up to this summer!

Seeing painted lettering always impresses me and is a mystery to me as to how it’s created. Beautiful work, as always☺

Hi Colleen,
I’ve been followed you twice by mistake! LOL
Now I’m going to unfollow you.
Hopefully you can stop by.. and follow back??
Have a great day!

Your creations are beautiful!
Your work is really amazing. I have a lettering project going on now by painting smooth Styrofoam balls and then adding our initials on them, problem is, I can’t make my mind up how what type of font to paint on them… I just wonder which type would look the best on a curved surface? any idea?
