Practicing flourishes! Type is not very original, you could find dozens of virtually identical samples I am sure, I based it off some wood type samples I found.
Oh, the title is a pre-Revolutionary book in the form of a series of letters describing the early American idealism and lifestyle. Very interesting reading, if you like history.

Thanks @Nick! Not nearly as cool as your recent shots, but I'll get there! haha
Glad you like it @Nikita, I'm really liking wood type - probably not my favorite style but definitely among the ones I like a lot!
Haha thanks @Patrick, I'll have to visit NC one of these days. This year is going to be a busy one - I have trips to NM and TN already - so I'll have to see!
Thanks @James! There are mistakes in the flourishes but I plan to vector it and clean up the bad curves, etc.
Glad you like it @Colin, it's silly how long it took me to get that blue to look right. I couldn't decide for like 15 minutes on what shade worked! haha

Haha glad you like it @Nick, thanks for the encouraging reviews! :D For this one I made the type, then basically looked at 1700's calligraphy samples for an hour or two and drew up my own flourishes! haha

Thanks guys! Glad you like it @Anna, now I want to make a packaging label sort of like this, your project inspired me (and a bunch of great stuff from the Dieline!) haha

Definitely do it! I think I spend maybe 60% of my current life on the Dieline (not really), therefore I know exactly what you mean ;)

You're right it would be perfect for a packaging label. I already see myself buying it and don't even care of what's inside.

Haha yes, it's a great site! Packaging is so intriguing, would love to get into it seriously, like Louise Fili!
Thanks @Joachim! I love jars/tins/boxes that could double as a great decoration.

Really, really nice piece and beautifully drawn flourishes! Love the middle one in particular, the curves flow really well together. Oh and totally worth spending a while getting that blue, the tone is perfect!

Thanks @Michael, they're a bit bumpy at the moment but should be easy to vector. Glad you like it @Ged, that's a serious compliment coming from you!
Thanks @Claire! Yes, the middle one seemed to flow better. Haha thanks! Blue is a tough one for me, I am too choosy with colors sometimes!
