Here's a quote from Walden; I thought it would make a nice piece and wanted to share it with you all. Feedback welcome!

Very nice work.

 

BTW, the truth of the matter is, after he moved to the woods, he spent lots of time at his friends homes rather than by himself in his little cabin.

 

But it was a nice idea for a few hours :-)))

Thank you! Yeah, well it's the idea that counts, I suppose.

This is lovely! Great work, and great quote.

 

How did you make the border so perfectly straight/uniform/aligned perfectly/amazing? And how long did this take you to create?

Thank you very much Tina! I used a ruler to get the border lines so straight, and tried to make sure the ruler was parallel to the edge of the page. As for how long it took, I really can't say. In the past when I've tried to time myself it stressed me out and felt like I was on a deadline, or racing the clock and my work suffered for it. So I really am not sure, sorry.

I absolutely love your w. The whole thing is nice, but that letter particularly jumped out at me. Beautiful work.
