Addition to Yesterdays Post

Actually the Calligraphic project was a 2x2x2x2 but for the life of me I could not remember the other 2. So now I do.

2 Languages
2 hands
2 different colors
2 different sizes

Want to take the challenge???

Happy Valentine's Day



This was a 2x2x2 suggestion from my Calligraphic Guild in Spokane, Washington. That is, 2 different hands, 2 different colors, 2 different sizes of lettering. My "go-to" hands are Italic, Bookhand or Foundational and Uncial. However this piece just cried out for Copperplate. I love it but I am not always comfortable using it. I don't practice it enough. Nevertheless, I tackled this sheet and had multiple tries of the copperplate. The foundational hand was whipped out immeditately but not so the other lettering. Still it was a fun project and I enjoyed doing it. I hope you will enjoy it too and have a wonderful, love filled Valentine's Day!

Hope with feathers



I am starting to work on my calendar for 2012. The theme is hope. I think the word should have been sings, sorry! Always a great thing to have hope, hope for the future, hope for peace. Peace to you today.

Making Cards



I made these cards yesterday for a Cancer Boutique store in Spokane, Washington. I guess I was in a flower mode because most of them had flowers of one kind or another. I hope they are a source of cheer and peace.
