She Is, Is She?

Yes, well, we realise whenever we post about ambigrams the titles are rather silly. But since we've already started it that way we'll go on until we really run out of ideas, then we'll revert to normal titles.

Also, among our doodlings only 4 passed our satisfaction test: Daniel, Ryan, wingedman and rhyen (even RoB can still be read as 'qob' so even that considered fail).

Didn't expect to actually work on any ambigrams yesterday, but we thought of playing around with the name Jennifer - since the J-R looks easy. Also wanted to play about with some other fonts rather than in...how do we describe this?...'lines' like how wingedman/Ryan/rhyen was done. Picked up the pencil and...

We were pleasantly surprised at what came out.

Of course, the rough doodle needed to be done up nicely - and we've only our trusty long ruler and 4H pencil to work with. Wouldn't know how to do this up on the PC but we like doing it manually too - they become bookmarks for us in the end.

Interesting enough, for wingedman's and Daniel's we did up the entire thing without much measuring etc - just 3 lines to indicate the central axis, and the upper and lower grid. With Ryan's and rhyen's we spaced them out evenly in grids to make it more symmetrical (or maybe we were just worried about our shakey hands).

We'd made it a wee bit too big to fit the entire notepaper :s

Same goes with Jennifer's (and we've also picked up a nagging phobia to spelling this name wrong). While templating it we kept nagging ourselves that such attention to symmetry not necessary lah, you want perfect symmetry go learn how to do it on the PC. Another worry is that, while on the quick sketch it may look good, sometimes it looks funny when we do a proper large one. But this one turned out rather nicely.

Hey, we knows we texted you to ask your favourite colour, but we found out no turquoise or robin's egg-blue ink, bubblegum blue okay?

Aik Yong: Where got deep? Just started after our second read of Angels & Demons and tried making one and went overboard.

FeR: Read it upside-down yet? Was actually contemplating sending you a blue colour SMS instead but then again we never subscribed to such.
