Kaleidoscope Lettering Symmetry Project - Designs with Names or Inspiring Words
Kaleidoscope Lettering uses the concepts of bilateral (reflective) symmetry, tessellation, and positive/negative space to transform a name, initials, or an inspiring word into a unique design that looks much more complicated to create than it actually is!

Here I’m sharing my new and improved method that is faster, easier, and virtually mistake-proof!
