It Feels Like Forever
It feels like forever since I played with my toys, but early last week I got out my Inktense Blocks and painted a few bouquets.
These are so much fun.
I try to remember to take a few pictures of bouquets every time I go to the grocery store.

Calligraphy Inspiration
The Westcoast Calligraphy Society featured a presentation on Laurie Doctor in February. We learned her alphabet of partial letters, which she uses to create patterns. It is like a code - the three blocks of partial letters shown in this piece actually do spell out lines from our national anthem, O Canada!

Not blogging, obviously. LOL I've been stuck at home with a cold this week, getting sucked in by the Internet mostly. I did find (again), Andrea Joseph's wonderful "collection" drawings, and they inspired me to do a couple:
Before I got sick I made a visit to Vandusen Gardens, inspiring this page:
