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"
