I’ve been asked to write Shakespeare’s sonnet 116 more times than any other calligraphy commission – and yet each time it looks so different. This is my latest favourite version – with romantic, flowing Spencerian calligraphy script and real silver leaf.
Shakespeare’s sonnet 116 with illustration
The blue illustration is inspired by Russian patterns – my calligraphy client asked for something to evoke Russia and Moscow, and sent me some images to use as inspiration.
The flowing flower patterns and stylised leaves in shades of blue finish the calligraphy poem very beautifully.
