ICAD #6 and Nautical Challenge

Today's index card  for ICAD uses black and gray  gelli papers. As I searched for a word, the  word "art"  seemed to fit.

                                                    " ART on Black"


Inspiration Avenue

This week at Inspiration Avenue the theme was "Nautical". As I looked at quotes, several appealed to me. I had bought an old copy of "Robinson Crusoe" a while ago and found the ship in rough seas. I placed it on an acrylic abstract painting I had done and added an anchor and 2 of the quotes.

My favourite quote though, was one attributed to Mark Twain:

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. "
~ Mark Twain


Joy Card
One nautical  quote (from Hebrews 6:19)  seemed perfect for one of my joy cards.

Linking as well with:

ABC Wednesday - T

This week at ABC Wednesday,  it is letter T.

T is for

text 

and

Typography

This definition comes from "Artlex" the online art dictionary.

"The design, arrangement, style, and appearance of type matter constitute typography. Among other things, students of typography learn about the uses of various type fonts, including serif and sans serif, capital and lowercase letters, boldface, italic, and condensed type, letter spacing (and kerning), point sizes, and the various factors affecting readability."

 

 

I created this ATC using different lettering and text.
