Yesterday, I pinned a ton of dreamy images onto the Dream Art Board on Pinterest. Need some fantasy-inspiration? Click that link!
I'm using this as a distraction, because what I really need to be doing is practicing some new lettering to redo that blog header above!

Zentangle Letter E
I had fun tangling this letter E last night! I've been grabbing some of our old messy paper to play with!
I love this pattern and use it SO much. Here's a link to a variation of it.
If you're really enjoying our letter series and looking for other lettering ideas, check out our Lettering Board on Pinterest, and share your work with us via #kasvtgallery on Instagram! Your images will appear in Our Gallery.
As December approaches, E and are going to be going to our Winter Holiday Board for ideas about projects to try. We'll share our Pinterest successes and failures with you! Come on, winter! I'm really looking forward to trying this one from Debbie's Resource Cupboard!

Lettering and Journaling
This blog post by Kristal Norton shows so many different applications for lettering in journaling, and I love that the letters aren't always super-polished, that some some are pasted in from found text.
These types of pages can so easily be created with your child, too! Let your toddler paint or cut pictures out of magazines to paste into a collage. Doodle/Tangle around their artwork, and add your own quotes!
Notice how, in the last photo, this artist has folded the paper around the outside of the pages -- so pretty on the outside of the journal! Time to dig out an old Moleskine!
My favorite pages from Kristal's blog post are by an artist named Jenn Olson (her site here):

Oh So Beautiful Paper
Remember when I said we'd be celebrating lettering this month...? Um, THIS SITE! *swoon*
Oh So Beautiful Paper. I'm going to go get lost in that site now. TTYL.
This lettering tutorial lives on the site, here, and I'll keep a reference link on our web resources page!

Free Drawing Template - Owl
I'm creating a series of free drawing templates to use for tangling, tracing, coloring, whatever! They're grayed-out images that you can trace over and change however you wish!
Download The Template PDF Here
*Print setting should be set to "Actual Size" to cut out and fit into your journal.
These templates are 100% free, and you can cut off the KASVT logo to use the image in your artwork, for personal or commercial use -- no need to credit us!
I only ask that, if you redistribute the digital file itself, that you do not crop the logo -- just so others can find their way back to the site to check out other free templates, to be posted in the near future! Happy Drawing!
