Sadly, due to distractions, the coathanger broke mid bend on the last letter of my name ☹️
This is my first time even attempting to do plain simple print, while all underlined to keep the letters connected. It’s way more comlicated than cursive writing, as there are a lot more sharp bends, making measuring and planning all that much more time consuming and difficult.
This print style coathanger text practice is a first for me, unfortunately failed just before the finish line…
The last lowercase ‘n’ was also intended to be finished, complete with the underline, but that’s where it broke.
Go ahead, kick me in the ass, next time I try, I’ll do so alone, no distractions, while also learning from my first try…
Curious, what you folks think?
Oh, as far as dotting the ‘i’, well it’s impossible to do that with a contiguous piece of coathanger or other wire properly, so I figure if someone wants their 'i’s dotted properly, well just stick a thumbtack in the wall above it LOL!
Unless you have another idea, I’m game for slight suggestions. Still, I’m gonna tend to doing such things as I see them.
But yeah, this experiment of trying simple underlined print proves extremely challenging, and also leads to more material use due to the extra sharp bends and overlaps taking up more material, so even if I would have completed my name in underlined print style, I would have just barely gotten the 5 letters out of it…
Thumbtack is good!
