Once again I was faced with filling a blank sheet of paper. After talking to my architect brother about the project, the ideas began flying, and I thought I would cut holes in the pages and outside edges. (This was one day before the project was due.) That evening I went to work, measuring out all the cutouts first, then making the tracks the lettering will follow, then drawing the letters in pencil. The final paper size was 30&#8243; x 5&#8243;, with six 5&#8243; squares.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stevehusting.com\/calligraphy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/accordion_1319.700.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-617\" src=\"https:\/\/stevehusting.com\/calligraphy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/accordion_1319.700.jpg\" alt=\"Accordion with pencil marks\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stevehusting.com\/calligraphy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/accordion_1319.700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/stevehusting.com\/calligraphy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/accordion_1319.700-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I brought the paper and ink with me to class the next night and added the text in two colors of ink, black first, then the red. When it dried, I folded and cut the paper. I did not erase the pencil lines until the next night, giving it plenty of time to dry so it would\u00a0not smear when the eraser was applied. Then I added the fancy paper embedded with wood ships to pieces of cardboard with spray adhesive\u00a0and attached them to the ends with white glue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stevehusting.com\/calligraphy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/accordion_1322.1500.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-618\" src=\"https:\/\/stevehusting.com\/calligraphy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/accordion_1322.1500.jpg\" alt=\"Accordion fully extended\" width=\"1500\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stevehusting.com\/calligraphy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/accordion_1322.1500.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/stevehusting.com\/calligraphy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/accordion_1322.1500-300x106.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stevehusting.com\/calligraphy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/accordion_1322.1500-1024x364.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stevehusting.com\/calligraphy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/accordion_1323.700.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-619\" src=\"https:\/\/stevehusting.com\/calligraphy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/accordion_1323.700.jpg\" alt=\"Accordion partly collapsed\" width=\"700\" height=\"755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stevehusting.com\/calligraphy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/accordion_1323.700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/stevehusting.com\/calligraphy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/accordion_1323.700-278x300.jpg 278w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy with the way it turned out.
