The Models 金

Attribution

The websites chine-culture.com and @ChinaMatters on youtube where a big help to find the many ways how chinese words are calligraphed.

It is a great kind of art to draw chinese words. The systematic has a strong logic. And the word Gold 金 is one of the so called radicals, words with 8 strokes.

Printing

I used the scaled up and slightly modified unicode version for the word gold. I modified the stroke number 6. to make the model one piece. All the other model files are different ways to calligraphy this nice and shine word.

This is the scaled up and modified unicode version, which i really like, but i added also a lot of other styles, maybe you like one of the others more.
