I am sad to see this series come

to an end.

It has been enlightening

and fun to take notes on :)

envelope

I received another envelope from

the decorated envelope exchange I participated in 

through Letters of Joy last year.

This one is from the very talented

Terri Kruger.

I love the lettering and the 

wonderful illustration!!

And, although I did not attend Letters of Joy this year, 

I did sign up for the envelope exchange again.

I have loved getting all these little works of art in the mail.

And the best part is I never know when they

are coming, so it's a great surprise waiting for me in my mailbox!

joint art show

In June our Calligraphy Guild

is having a joint art show with the

River Ridge Association of Fine Arts.

I did the lettering for the poster.

The border was done by 

Connie Janney.

I love the lighthearted feel of her 

colorful border.

It was a lot of fun to add the lettering to it!

If you are in Spokane, come see the show sometime in June.

It will be up at Gina's Design Center (811 W. 2nd) for the month.

Our reception is June 1 from 5-8PM

and we would love to see you there!!

We started a series on Jonah.

I will have to stop myself from using the 

whale in every entry :)

my new home

I have the privilege of being part 

of an artist's cooperative here in Spokane.

We call it The Pottery Place Plus

with heavy emphasis on the PLUS ;)

I recently moved my spot in the shop

and I have a new home now.

I can now be found in a cozy little

corner where you can stop and 

read all the little tidbits of wisdom and inspiration

I have found over the last few years.

Come in and see me if you are

in Spokane!!

teeny tiny

A few months ago I missed our monthly

calligraphy guild meeting.

The project they did was a round-robin accordion book

where everyone in the group added a 

letter to each person's book.

You can read more about it here.

A friend in the group let me know that she reserved

a special little spot in her book 

for me.

What tiny little accordion book is 

complete without an ampersand??

ampersand 2"x2" tile completed using

cardstock, prismacolor colored pencils

and my light table.

I have had fun going back to these 

entries after I am home from church

to add some color.

 Sometimes I do it when I'm at one of

our kids' sports practices (shhhh).
