I always shy away from using my handwriting or printing on my artwork....and probably for good reason. I don't think that it is particularly beautiful or artistic looking and when I do my hand shakes as I write. However, I would very much like to art journal so I'm going to have to conquer this "block". I am participating in a fairy gothic arch swap and found some wonderful quotations about fairies so I tried my hand at transcribing them by hand. These are my entries for this week's Gothic Arches challenge.

Oh, I don't think you need to worry about your handwriting at all! It's lovely and works so well with those beautiful arches. Lovely job!!
Beautiful!!!!!
wow.. this is beautiful work !!!
I'm so happy for you that you conquered this 'block' Our own handwriting adds so much to our work.
I really like how you followed the lines of the images on the arch. Great work. Thanks for joining GAC this week.
Both are gorgeous!!
Your handwriting is beautiful Heather - the arches are gorgeous
Heather, they are both so gorgeous. And do use your own handwriting more often. It's great.
Heather, I could look at your pieces all day! They are brilliant and just gorgeous!
Beautiful gothic arches Heather, can see nothing wrong with the handwriting at all! :)
Another eye-catching piece! Absolutely gorgeous. I just adore that first one.
Heather, your cards are beautiful, anyway I give more thought to how the writing fits in with the rest of the art/design, or about what it has to say, not so much on the penmanship. Sometimes, I will purposely write illegibly for the right effect. Besides, our handwriting is us, that makes it honest, and that is always beautiful.
Wow, how wonderful are those arches?! Really great, love the colours.
beautiful arches heather, really pretty!
So beautiful, Heather, love colours and you writing is just fine, too!

And I like the handwriting on them--you did a great job!
Whoops, my first comment didn't print--anyway, I said that I think these are absolutely gorgeous!
They are gorgeous please keep on writing;o)
Lovely your parrot pictures, it put the firt smile on my face today!
These are gorgeous. I know how you feel about being timid to write on my artwork. Yesterday I pulled out a beautiful calligraphy set, the pen is hand blown glass, and well I haven't used it much for the same reason as you mention here. I ended up using the calligraphy pen on a different project but did get my arch finished this morning. Your work is beautiful.
