Ambiguous Ambigrams 14

Right. Some of these we've been putting off for way too long now, and we'd best buck up and start working on them just to keep our hand in practise with calligraphy really.

First one, a slight touch-up from the Mk1 at the 'u/n' - 'w' area. It's been ages since we'd touched this one because we remember how much trouble we took just drawing it out (as we drew the template on a small notepad instead of an A4 sheet), but this time we were armed with a clipboard, A4 paper and a photocopier.

Trace the first half, make minor adjustments, photocopy. Then finish up the second half by tracing from the photocopy.

End result was printed out on sticker paper and made into a belated birthday present. :P

This one started out as a sketch on her birthday card. Then we decided to expand on it, but work on it was admittedly slow. :P A simple sketch, but somehow not very clear. Probably if we did it on a smaller scale we could do a bit more on ornamentation and make it clearer. Ah well, a Mk2 in the works then...

Finally, after finishing the above and scanning it, we decided to open MS Paint and doodle about. And we managed this. It's a bit vexing because the others took ages to complete while this one, 5 minutes. True, needs a bit of work but otherwise it's already passable. Not to mention that since we only needed to do the first half, then copy-invert-paste, it's the only symmetrical ambigram we've done to date.

Oh well, there'll probably be a Mk2 of this too, when we pretty it up with ornamentation. Probably.
