painted rocks

These are some rocks I have been painting lately.
I used an old nib and
Dr. Martin's Bombay White
I made these into magnets
and they are available at the Pottery Place Plus
in Spokane.

legacy

My husband works for YoungLife in Spokane
and we had our annual fundraising banquet last week.
At the banquet we recognised
George and Shirley Creighton for their
continuous support of YL in Spokane.
They have been supporting us for over 40 years.
This was their thank you gift.
I used Dr. Martin's Bleedproof white
vintage Hunt 22
on smooth brown paper.

The first post (sigh)

Welcome to my new calligraphy blog.
  I will share current projects and other art related projects here.
  Maybe even a little about my life as a wife and mother
 (as time permits and if interesting things are going on around here). 

I thought I would start by showing one of my favorite new pieces. 
 I did the lettering with sumi ink and the colored background with pastel chalks.
  I love the quote and wanted it to do the talking on this one,
so the layout is fairly basic.
