Hand lettering with a paintbrush

When I have a quote or Bible verse that is meaningful to me I write it on an index card and keep it where I will see it regularly.

Way back when the kids were younger and at home I would tape encouraging quotes and verses to the bathroom mirrors and also inside the medicine cabinets.

While at work I would use post-it notes placed along the edge of my counter.  Now that I have been working from home I keep them clipped near my work area.  I also have one that is taped by my keyboard so that I see it first thing when I open my laptop in the morning.

For craft shows (back when I did them) and gift items that I make now, I put quotes on the greeting cards I paint.  They fit perfectly in a frame so the recipient is able to keep it as wall décor.

Quite a long time ago I found these linen-type boards that work very well for acrylic paints.  I use a paintbrush for the lettering.  Then I paint the flowers and swirls along the edge.

The largest oval is approximately 8 ½ inches wide, a nice size to display in small areas.

How do you display your favorite quotes?

This one rather than a quote, I lettered to look like a vintage type sign.
