In 2003, Himself asked if I would letter a name on an award certificate to be presented to the top chemistry student. The real award was a copy of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. CRC had sent Himself the book and the certificate. I cringed when I saw the certificate. It was 5" x 7" and printed on glossy crack and peel paper. It was supposed to be a book plate but was in reality a giant label. The length of the line for both the recipient and name of the school was 2 3/4" The perfect length if I was scribing names with a pin.
The book is expensive, several hundred dollars expensive. You would think the company would have kicked in a few extra dollars to have the certificate printed on decent paper.
I just couldn't letter on the crack and peel so I did what any calligrapher would have done. With the magic of a scanner, PSP, Publisher, Diploma Parchment paper, a little forgery, and my Canon laser printer, I created an award I could letter on.
And this year's award is...ta-da! Finished
What have you been working on this week?
Working on the WIP, Contest entries, end of month bookwork, the usual. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Cert looks nice. :)
Um, a little shindig this weekend and that pesky job thing. Yours looks more interesting.
