Copperplate tidbits

Here are a few small pieces I did this week in copperplate. The piece on ships had to be lettered twice (one on top of the other) because the first white lettering sank into the paper. The Oprah quote is one I lettered much larger several years ago. I hope to do a few more little pieces this weekend. Head start on Christmas gifts or an art show I plan to do next year. It's been a long time since I've lettered just for the fun of it - and I'm loving the feel of the pen on the paper.
