Just My Type - August challenge

It seems like ages since I have set a JMT challenge I hope this one is something that inspires you!

I am a passionate fan of type, especially old typeface and especially in old signs. I have many {many} photographs of old signs and typeface that I have seen whilst out and fallen in love with!  One of these pictures inspired todays challenge.

This is the entrance to one of the many underground ‘tube’ stations in London. But trust me, not many of them have beautiful signs like this one!
This challenge is to create your own swirly scrolls with lettering. Chose your font or alphabet to match or contrast with your scrolls and plumes. Write your title in amongst the swirls, or maybe the journaling, or even just the date. Make it all one colour, or make it many…

Heres my page, I fully intended to use firmer, more distinct scrolls, but in the end it went all grungy My Daughters initials sit at the top, and the whole thing frames a picture of her. Its both simple and striking - love it!

I do hope you’ll join in, please post your pages here in the Just My Type gallery.
