Calligraphy Collaboration

I belong to a calligraphy group: Scripts & Scribes.  The members are amazing and creative folks.  One of our members, Vicki, a very talented calligrapher, presented the program at our meeting last night.  I thought I would include photos of our work to create a little (2"x2") Round Robin Alphabet Book.  We each came with an entire alphabet lettered ahead of time (sized to fit on a 2"x2" page).  We created covers and then exchanged letters so everyone will have a wee book with letters made by others in the group.  I share photos of our work in progress and my book almost ready to glue pages in place.  Look for photos of finished books next month when we bring them to meeting for "show and tell"

Dave made a "flying pigs" cover & a  black letter alphabet


Dee lettered "on the spot" --BUSY life!  great uncial with gold embellishments


Joann's gilded letters in her celtic knotwork frames - wow!


Vicki -our teacher- working on her cover


Kathy's elegant pointed pen work


Linda signing her innovative letter images


Linda's letters...see what I mean about innovative?!


Marilyn's amazing roundhand on steroids!  Her work is so lovely!


Myong's letters were hand-watercolored and each beautifully rendered


Pat used what she grows in her garden to illustrate each letter-- a wee colored drawing of a veggie  on each


having fun with letters!


Vicki's alphabet...she created it several years ago and brought it out of seclusion for this occasion--HOORAY!

my wee book spread out ready to glue letters in place

Come Play with me!

Life is ART--there is beauty everywhere that needs to be looked at and appreciated. Yeah, there is plenty of bad stuff in the world, but God tells us to think on whatever is pure, lovely and of good report (Philippians 4) so I am going to obey...won't you come with me?! Let's make and do things that are beautiful, lovely, fun....
