    Here is another from me. Don't know if you'll like what I did or not but for better or worse this is what I did.
    This is not the original font. It was once but I altered it quite a lot. I attached the original font image so you could see what I did. The font is called RoyalInitialen.

    Curve ball indeed. I can see it's a golf tee, but, it' not a drop cap. Still trying to get my goat huh Egg. Eautiful drawing though.

    Hi Larry, just my sense of fun. A bit like the picture puzzles in kids magazines where words or letters are replaced by meaningful images.

    Anyway, here's a serious one. The T is based on a 400 year old charter that I think I've mentioned previously. I think the Drop Cap in the charter is a T but my Latin's not as good as it used to be.

    PS The floral scrolls need more work and if I get the time I might update it.

    Good job Egg.

    PS I like British humor, always have. It's different from ours.

    Now that's what I call a Drop Cap. Very, very good, Egg.

    Cheers Larry / Bob / Max.

    The spaghetii one is very effective and I like the colour choice too.
