At the moment I have a slight obsession with this gorgeous indigo paper (bought from the Vintage Paper Co). It's so delicious to work on.
As soon as I saw it for sale I thought it would be excellent for white work.

For this calligraphy I initially wrote the word to create a template for each letter, using them as a guide for size and placement on the indigo paper. You can't make mistakes on dark paper!
I decorated each letter with this flowing line and drew each feather separately before attaching to the background.

I created this calligraphy in December last year, when I felt very much in need of a little peace!

Full description

Throughout March I will contribute 50% of this sale to Choose Love, and specifically their Ukraine Crisis Fund.

This one of a kind calligraphy is part of a recent collection of works using the gorgeous indigo painted paper.

It is a simple mixed media piece of calligraphy and paper collage, the feathers were drawn separately and added after the lettering was complete.

Shanti is the Sanskrit word for peace, and I believe the feathers are also symbolic of peace.

Hopefully it will be a mindful reminder to stop and breathe occasionally, if you get caught in busyness.

This affordable piece of artwork measures 14 x 20cm and comes unframed.

Perfect to decorate your wall, or give as a gift for someone special.

I think the first image most accurately represents the colour of the indigo paper.

It comes in a cello bag for protection, and will be posted securely wrapped with card and recycled packaging for protection. If you can reuse the bag and packaging please do :)
