I know, I made one just the other day but the project I really wanted to do today would have taken a little longer. Hopefully I&#8217;ll find the time to do it tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s drop cap is what I think is a more traditional drop cap: a simple but decorative letter. I blended a curly string and a honey comb together to give it just a nice little pattern. I wanted to do the string because lately I have been drawing the shapes and curves of letters by scratching them down on paper in a pattern like the strings on the H.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I learned today (or maybe relearned) is that you want to expand your strokes at the latest moment possible. I made that string a lot harder on myself because I didn&#8217;t do that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-190\" title=\"H Dropcap\" src=\"http:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/dropcap_h.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/dropcap_h.gif 580w, https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/dropcap_h-300x206.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only having time to make a drop cap today, I decided to make an H in a way that took much longer than I had planned for. <a href=\"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/expanding-stroke\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[29],"class_list":["post-189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-typography","tag-drop-cap"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":590,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189\/revisions\/590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
