I am excited because, as I have been saying all week, I will be driving down to Orlando in the morning for a week at IAMPETH-International Association of Master Penman, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting
I was picking out a chunky journal to take for the area where members can display what they have been working on---and of course I will "survey the land" before I put mine out there. Things might look like this-- YIKES! so a chunky journal(which does contain lots of original calligraphy) just might not fit in. Well see---I have never been to one of these Master Penman conferences so I am not sure what to expect.
So this little heart from the backgound pieces was going into the chunkey journal and I decided to write a little quote on it. This calligraphy is buy no means the standard of which I will be seeing and re-learning this weekend---but it's fun and quick and easy.
Have a wonderful week and hopefully I can post some pictures as I go along.
have fun , martha... stay cool...
ReplyDeleteBe safe and have fun!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy immersing yourself in the penmanship conference! Looking forward to seeing what you learn.
ReplyDeleteNow, you just know I'm going to have an opinion about the link you provided. :-)
ReplyDeleteTheir style is formal, wonderful, and certainly has its place as a beautiful art form. BUT your journaling is creative, intensive, personal, and appealing to the eye.
You are a multi-talented artist who can do whatever she pleases.
So, don't let anyone intimidate ya, kid!
Hugs for a good trip.
Watch out for that opportunity I've been running my big mouth about...
Love Ya ~
