Ambigram Using Inkscape

Ambigram, I never do it before.

An ambigram, also sometimes known as an inversion, is a graphical figure that spells out a word not only in its form as presented, but also in another direction or orientation. The text can also consist of a few words, and the the text spelled out in the other direction or orientation is often the same, but can also be a different text.

from wikipedia

This is my experiment of making ambigram using inkscape
First thing I do is choosing the word, I need a word length from 5 to 8 letters. I choose simple, simply because this blog is azn simple vector and the word simple have 5 letters in it.
After that, using calligrapy tool, I play around with the letter s, flip it horizontal,vertical and rotate it to match the letter e. Of course its time consuming here.
then I go for the letters i and l,lastly the letters m and p.
