If it's not fun......

you're not doing it right.


This is another bit of homework done for the Westcoast Calligraphy Society.  I used a mussel shell to do the lettering and coloured it with watercolour crayons.

Twinkle Twinkle

The ball and stick lettering I used on this Artist Trading Card suits the Maryse Carrier stamp, don't you think?


It was coloured with Prismacolor crayons.

Keep Calm and Carry On

In October, I attended my first meeting of the Westcoast Calligraphy Society.  The program for the evening featured lettering using mussel shells.  Really!


This is a bit of "homework" done in my art journal and coloured with watercolor pencils.

Spot on

Lady bugs, as my English mother used to say, are "spot on".  That means perfect.

This Artist Trading Card features a stamp from Maryse Carrier coloured with Prismacolors.  The ball and sticks lettering is hand done.

Thank You!

This is a simple Thank You card done for a generous lady at our local stamp club.  She brought me a bag of vintage stamps, including this See-D's set from inque boutique.

Chickadees Love Christmas

Actually, I think these birds are supposed to be robins, but they look like the plump little chickadees we have in our back yard, so I coloured them like chickadees.  The chickadees in our yard love everything else (well, they sing a lot), so why not Christmas?
