Oooh. Very interesting idea. I am frequently finding myself making a hand-lettered version of the title. Today's post I dropped a few bits of old work in that was relevant to particular paragraphs. But I still made a title graphic. And lots of hand-lettered headings. I am interested in the idea of flipping it and using existing pieces (or even bits from existing pieces, because pretty much everything I do is layered, so I can grab a sofa or houseplant or cat from one piece and make them into a new piece, or into individual spot illustrations).
And I definitely really like it as an idea for framing daily writing. So I may steal your idea!
Thumbnail images are a big pull for me, for sure. But the reality is that I have always thought about it as an "accompaniment" to my own content. This idea of flipping the process around is fun. I'm going to give it a try.
