Most of this summer (2011) I’ve been experimenting with the design of a new extended typeface I’m calling “JASMINE,” named in honor of the main character of my 1982 card game* and “The Story of Jasmine” illlustrated fantasy-adventure which appeared in the Dragon Magazine circa 1980.
The version below is the Italic font:
This Wedding Program represents the first commercial use of Jasmine Italic:
*JASMINE: the Battle for the Mid-Realm™ collector card game was first published by DARLENE in 1982 and marks the first appearance of fully illustrated collector fantasy cards created for the purpose of game play.

I share my sketch created yesterday for a book project that just manifested.
The pencil image is of Sally Hemings, the black slave whom Thomas Jefferson adored.
Just click on the image to view a larger version in its entirety.

The publication of “Darlene’s World” will be suspended until I again have the time to devote to a quality product.
When it reappears, it will be available by subscription only.
Thanks to all who have expressed much joy and appreciation for this effort.
Blessings, Darlene
