Last year was a bit rough for me as is obvious in the lack of content in the 2023 Blog. Hopefully things will be better this year.</div><div><br /></div><div>I only posted twice last year, and you would think I did nothing all year, but that is not true. Though the year was a struggle for me I was busy taking classes and learning things. Just wasn't very productive. So, this year I will work on that, and part of my problem is lack of organization so that is the first thing I must tackle. </div><div><br /></div><div>For the last couple years MCG has gifted the members with a workshop. The only rule was that their membership had to be paid in full. Last year we had a workshop with Sally Penley on the art of Etegami and here is an article written by our own Denise Gooch.</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>What a wonderful gift to the Michiana Calligraphy Guild members! On October 28, 2023, all the current members were invited to a free zoom class with Sally Penley titled "The Art of Etegami".</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>The premise of Etegami, which was started by Kunio Koike in the 1970"s, is a postcard with simple painted images and a few words or a haiku to reflect the image that are mailed to a friend or loved one. These are done on 140# watercolor postcards with sumi ink, a sumi brush and up to three watercolors loosely applied to the image, often running off the paper. Each is signed in vermilion ink or cinnabar paste with a chop, which the artist can carve from a white ]plastic eraser. This "chop" is used in lieu of a signature and can be the artist's name, initials or something meaningful to the artist.</b></span></span></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>What truly resonated with me was the concept of wabi-sabi and that imperfections are ideal. The motto of Etegami is that clumsy makes it better. You don't correct your mistakes! While this seems contrary to calligraphy, it does allow for us to spread our wings. The lettering on an Etegami postcard is to be written in a simple, easy to read style as well as minimal, the fewer words, the better. Allowing the image(s) to speak is key. White space is also important, including within the image.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Sally shared sources for traditional Japanese art supplies, including Akashiya postcards, as well as her choices for materials. She also colored with pastel dust, which are shavings from Faber Castell soft pastel sticks that she applies with pieces of cotton balls or Q- tip type applicators for a softer look. She had a plethora of tips and products to help in our creative process and her freezer paper for tossing brushes when you're too caught up in creating to clean is genius!</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Sally created postcards as we watched and did two power point presentations during her class. These included many eye-catching examples from her creations and also others who practice Etegami. And in order for it to be true Etegami, it must be mailed to another person.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>I found the class and Sally as an instructor to be refreshing! I prefer a teacher who is open to questions and open to more than just the topic; Sally was resoundingly both. I personally use my calligraphy in card making and I absolutely love to mail things I make. Even if you don't think this is for you because the loose, less precise art form isn't your preferred style (like me), go and watch the video replay that Renee posted for the Guild. I found multiple ideas that Sally shared that I can use for other projects. I ordered the corner rounder she recommended because she hit the nail on the head when she said every other one, she has ever tried didn't cut cleanly.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Going forward, I am thinking that I can easily share this with my ten-year-old niece, who loves to make artwork with her old Auntie. Who can you encourage with some Etegami? Sally showcased a gorgeous postcard that said "Give Joy! Get Joy!". I am running with that idea. Thank you, Michiana Board, for such a great opportunity to learn and grow.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Denise Gooch,</b></div><div><b>grateful guild member</b></div><div> <br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;

Due to a lack of much mail at our Post Office box in South Bend we have suspended any mail sent to that address. If you have anything to send to the Michiana Calligraphy Guild, please send to Angie Wesr 1212 Elder Court, Niles, Michigan 49120 or Renee Tuveson, 928 Finch Dr., South Bend, Indiana 46614. </div><div><br /></div><div> POLICY FOR MCG WORKSHOPS</div><div><br /></div><div>Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance the birth of a grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a refund. So please, if you want to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors. </div><div><br /></div><div> ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK? </div><div><br /></div><div>If so, look up your favorite calligraphers, because they are on Facebook also. I like to look at Barbara Blose, Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters, John Stevens, Rachel Yallop, Pendragons, Capital City Scribes, Yukimi Annand, etc.. </div><div><br /></div><div>AMERICAN FRAME </div><div>Just a reminder that if you order from American Frame, please mention MCG, and they will give us a small stipend. </div><div><br /></div><div> ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP </div><div><br /></div><div>Annual dues of $20 are due at the July meeting. Our annual dues have not changed in many years and are put to good use for supplies for our Make It/Take It at meetings and our annual raffle in August, and in December our donation to local charities.

<p class="MsoNormal">A MESSAGE FROM THE GUILD PRESIDENT</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> Since it is August you all can see I am very behind in this posting Everything is going well just can't seem to find enough time. Too many rabbit holes in my life, can't seem to avoid them. Almost afraid to look at anything for fear that I will want to do that too!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I opened my home the 5th of August to guild members and had a wonderful turnout. We will continue with the zoom meeting, but on meeting day anyone that would like to come over to my house for an "in person" visit is welcome. At least until the weather gets bad again or covid rears it's ugly head.</p><p class="MsoNormal">I won't go over all the meetings since April (shame on me) but I will post an assortment of pictures from our "Show and Tell". Our July meeting, I am sure will go down as a "CLASSIC" as Judy T. did an outstanding job of dealing with clutter and she has written an article for the blog, posted below!!!! Anyone who has lost the link or would like to revisit that meeting please email me and I will send a link. Our youtube channel is private (to protect our members privacy, therefore can only be accessed with a link to each video. I recommend that you put a folder in your email or on your computer and save these links if you want to view them again)</p><p class="MsoNormal">Please anyone who would like to contribute to the blog send in an article!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> DECLUTTERING WHILE DOING ART!</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>At the July 2023 Michiana Calligraphy Guild Zoom meeting, I had the pleasure of being asked to lead a discussion on the advantages of decluttering and organizing our studio work areas. The issue was brought up by Rose, who was looking at all her supplies and wondering why they did not offer her joy and inspiration as they once had. She wondered which items she should get rid of and how to organize the rest of her things so she could quickly find them to work with. She has been feeling held down by the amount of stuff she has. She is like many of our MCG members in that she is very artistic and talented. Rose is interested in several types of creating art and she needs help to get her direction back. Sound familiar? It did to many of us!</p><p class="MsoNormal">I had already put myself on a crazy declutter/organizing journey for our home, however, I had fully intended to leave my worst area for last. My crafting area also tends to be my collection area for all things with no home.</p><p class="MsoNormal">We started our discussion on purging and decluttering. Both considered “dirty words” to hobby crafters. I was a little nervous that my guild friends would think I was trying to talk everyone into changing the way they do things. However, Tina made a comment that she could use some help, I started feeling more confident about the presentation. Tina is not only a guild member but also has spent several years practicing Fodder School challenges and making beautiful journals, books, paper and fabrics out of all the extra things she can find. I stressed not feeling forced or under pressure to do it any other way but your own way. As I called it, “You do you” and what makes you happy. But one thing I mentioned was to not think about the money since it is already gone. Think about what you want going forward.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Next, we got into what I consider more fun, organizing our treasured supplies. I enlisted the help of Renee, Rose, Ginny, Denise, Pat, Anna, and Susan. My idea was that we have all tried to find the best way to organize our supplies. We have seen far too many advertisements from companies telling us what we need. However, are we not the experts on how to store our own supplies? Yes we are! Especially if each of us has an area or topic that we feel we have found to work best for us. That is what all eight of us did. Everyone that was present, or who watched the video later, got to enjoy the ideas,see pictures of how they work and offer their own questions and suggestions.</p><p class="MsoNormal">I want to thank all of my friends who help make this discussion helpful and fun. Later, I was so impress by lovely comments about how much many of you enjoyed it and felt inspired by the presentation. I can say now that I am energized to keep going on my crafting area. I have a long way to go but intend to keep working at it a little at a time.</p><p class="MsoNormal">This did develop a couple of fun ideas. At our August 5 th picnic, we decided to include a table for anyone who has been purging and has gently used items to pass on to someone else. Yes, send your clutter home with someone else! It might have been something someone else has been looking for. Anyone present can bring or take these items. Also, our September meeting we are encouraging anyone who has “fixed” even a little something and organized an area, to please include a picture for our Show ‘n Tell.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Thank you, Judy Theuerl-MCG Secretary</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">UPCOMING WORKSHOPS</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> October 28, 2023 – Sally Penley “The Art of Etegami” Free to
current (dues paid) members via Zoom Noon to 3PM</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> POLICY FOR MCG</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide
not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the
workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going
to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of
a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance the birth of a
grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to
decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is
filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a
refund. So please, if you want to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you
put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy
group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend
as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If so, look up your favorite calligraphers, because they are
on Facebook also. I like to look at Barbara Blose, Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters,
John Stevens, Rachel Yallop, Pendragons, Capital City Scribes, Yukimi Annand,
etc.. There are lots of beautiful</p>

us a small stipend.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Annual dues of $20 are due at the July meeting. Our annual
dues have not changed in many years and are put to good use for supplies for
our Make It/Take It at meetings and our annual raffle in August, and in

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> THINGS NOT TO DO WHEN I MAKE MY CHRISTMAS CARD IN 2023</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>BY GINNY VANDERHEY</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>I have been making handmade Christmas Cards for the last 25-30 years and usually enjoy knowing that they will be appreciated at Holiday time. If I were smart, I would go to the Dollar Tree and buy a box or two = for $1.25, make labels and send them out. Every year I say "Why do we torture ourselves every Christmas".</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>After taking a Bone Lettering class with Carol DuBosch in 2021, almost 2 years ago, we formed a Bone Study Group with the participants of that class and meet approximately every 3 weeks with a challenge. We are blessed that Carol herself joins up and inspires us with her lettering and designs. If it weren't for her, I don't know if we would have continued to try to produce any cards or broadsides. She has taught us Bone, circular and spiral writing, books, etc. We have loved it all! </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>In November, we all had our Christmas card designs in the works and Carol critiqued them with what we should do next and guided us through the printing process. She even sent us envelope sizes to fit. Carol is a wealth of knowledge!</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>I had a couple designs in mind for my Christmas card and started with a spiral with different sized pencil lettering and a bit of color. It was okay, but didn't really have the Christmas spirit on it. Then I watched the Texas Lettering Guild offer a free demo featuring several instructors like Heather Martinez, Holly Monroe, Heather Held, etc. Holly Monroe really caught my eye with her design for a Christmas card and I played around with that on black paper with Dr. Martin's Bleedproof White. I loved that design, but unfortunately, when I wanted to print it, they can't print black to black, so I redid my design on white paper and took it to the printer to see if they could reverse it. Nope. In the end, it was printed on white paper and I had to color in the wreath, add green to the leaves and red for the berries. Also put gold dots between the letters and glued a small paper bow onto the wreath.</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>Here are the things I will NOT do next year:</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>1. <b>Proof Read your work carefully. </b>I forgot a letter on one of the words. Luckily it was at the end of a word, so I could add it. Most won't notice it, but my calligrapher friends will!</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>2. <b>Find a good printer that understands what you want to do. </b>I took my design to a Staples here in Ft. Myers, Florida because I didn't know of anywhere else to take it. She didn't like my paper either and used Staples paper, which turned out to be fine.</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>3. <b>Don't go the printer with anyone else who is not interested in your Christmas cards. </b>My granddaughter was with me along with her boyfriend so I was in a bit of a hurry. Take your time and don't go when 25 other people are waiting in line to get something printed.</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>4. <b>Decide on the size you want before going to the printer. </b>I had the printer put two of the design on one page so that I could cut it in half and have two cards. What I didn't do was decide on the size of the envelope so I didn't think about that when printing was being done. I looked at a few sites for envelopes and couldn't find anything that would fit it, so I wound up making my own envelopes out of paper that we use for printing out our Christmas letter.</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>5. <b>Print in color. </b>I should have colored the wreath on my card as well as the leaves and berries so that I didn't have to sit and color 80 cards! That would have made things a lot simpler. My husband had a tax seminar to go to in Orlando and I took my cards and pencils with me to work on them.</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>6. <b>Glue vs double sided tape. </b>While sitting in the lobby of the hotel in Orlando, I worked on gluing the card to red paper behind it with glue I brought with me. After the glue dried, I noticed that it made the paper buckle so there was another NOT to do in the future. I had a few more cards that I didn't finish and when we got back to Ft. Myers, I used double-sided tape to adhere the red backing paper to the card which worked much better and didn't leave marks or buckle.</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>7. <b>Envelopes again... </b>I found a few envelopes that I could use, although they were a little big for the card, I felt that the envelope looked better than the folded paper with washi tape on it to hold it closed. OY! And, hey, when lettering your envelopes, make sure that the flap is in the right position so it doesn't have to be opened upside down (like I did on Lucia's card!)</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>In the end, the cards all went into the mail on time, but making the cards this year should have been simpler and taken less time. In between making cards, there is always Cinderella Chores (as my dear friend Anna always says), baking biscotti, having lunch with a few friends by the pool, making an exchange book or ornament (or in my case, both) and those wonderful Zoom meetings with MCG and Kalamazoo.</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>Okay, everyone. Get out your calendars and put my name on it about September 1 to remind me NOT to do all the things I did this year. Now I will have to proofread this letter! Thanks, and Happy New Year!</o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">P.O. BOX IN SOUTH BEND<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Due to a lack of much mail at our Post Office box in South
Bend we have suspended any mail sent to that address. If you have anything to
send to the Michiana Calligraphy Guild, please send to Angie Wesr 1212 Ekder

<p class="MsoNormal">POLICY FOR MCG<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide not
to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the workshop
if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going to have a
change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of a
workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance the birth of a
grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to
decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is
filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a
refund. So please, if you want to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you
put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy
group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend as
many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.<o:p></o:p></p>

The Michiana Calligraphy Guild will be sponsoring an online workshop with Carol DuBosch on Saturday, March 18 and Sunday, March 19, 2023. More details will be coming soon as well as instructions on how to register. </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">This lively, rhythmic Gothic script borrows elements from Italic, Foundational and Blackletter. It is a hybrid style of writing that creates a page that is both energetic and traditional. It is surprisingly easy to learn, and will quickly become your favorite. The Gothicized Italic capitals can be simple or very ornate, and they can stand alone in any design layout as rich initial capitals. The workshop will focus on learning the script, and then move to explore simple layouts, color, and other practical uses for these elegant calligraphic letters. Carol will discuss and demonstrate color-blending techniques using Winsor & Newton inks. Some experience with an edged pen would be helpful for this workshop.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Details to follow shortly.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Here is a sample of Carol's work:</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0_RhINk-ZC7PnLk3WMa4ltjV0Yvi5YQMiIsdEPC1aYYLCUBHvJfoTarE8ZgCn9J4Ghyl8_fdZNF-QJziOYtDet9cPSNaoILJOaA-cWfB8slp_4WRvYrh2wvKNz1TOqhWrtw5UHl4_sUFsBPJvV73a9xuxvL1x7Ir4bg06jZrT8Fp7k1msX6F4M_FgGw/s1280/unnamed.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1279" data-original-width="1280" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0_RhINk-ZC7PnLk3WMa4ltjV0Yvi5YQMiIsdEPC1aYYLCUBHvJfoTarE8ZgCn9J4Ghyl8_fdZNF-QJziOYtDet9cPSNaoILJOaA-cWfB8slp_4WRvYrh2wvKNz1TOqhWrtw5UHl4_sUFsBPJvV73a9xuxvL1x7Ir4bg06jZrT8Fp7k1msX6F4M_FgGw/w400-h400/unnamed.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><p></p>rtuvesonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12032922656051014342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958966309416750851.post-74214982966010082092022-10-07T16:17:00.001-07:002022-10-07T16:17:56.037-07:00OCTOBER 2022 SCIBNOTEOctober 2022<div><b> A Message from the Guild President</b></div><div> A little late this month with getting the blog up. October came out of no where, wasn't it just July? As usual I have been taking too many classes and just not able to keep up with everything. Also, my never ending endeavor of trying to get organized (I think it's a lost cause).
Covid, though not so much in the news is still out there and has affected several of my family and friends, fortunately all were vaccinated and came through fine. We are scheduled for our 3rd booster next week.
Happenings in the Guild</div><div><br /></div><div><b> July 2, 2022</b></div><div> Quote: "Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others". - Jonathan Swift </div><div> July is membership renewal month for our guild members. Membership dues have been increased to $20. 1st increase in the history of MCG.
A free workshop with Suzie Beringer is planned for October 1, 2022 in place of our regular meeting. It will be on Suzie's "Dirds". Supply lists will be sent to everyone. You can be present for the zoom meeting or watch the recording.
Our Annual Picnic is planned for August 6th and will be at Ginny's house and this will be our last visit to Ginny's as she is moving to Florida. We will do a book exchange as usual. Bring a wrapped handmade book for the exchange. </div><div><b>Show and Tell:</b> </div><div>View Padlet as well.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Much fun and merriment at seeing each other in person. This was the last time Ginny will host us as she is moving to Florida, so this day was bittersweet for all of us. Angela and Anna both won $25 gift certificates for John Neal, and Judy won John Stevens bool "Script". Those who participated in the book exchange brought wrapped handmade books which were placed on the table. We picked numbers out of a bowl to determine the order we were able to choose a book.

looking at the weekly Reggie Ezell email which has been spotlighting the works
of Rosie Kelly, master calligrapher, paste paper artist and friend. Rosie
passed away a couple of years ago and her presence is still felt with all that
have taken classes with her either in South Bend or at the annual art retreat
at Lake Louise. If you have not taken any of Rosie’s classes, you have missed
being taught by someone who was a true artist, displayed her work at the annual
Chicago Calligraphy Collective and sold many of her handmade books. Rosie was
humble and gracious with her teaching and we were so fortunate for her to come
to South Bend to be our instructor several times.

my home to be sold in Elkhart after 48 years and move to Florida, I will miss
the people in my three online Zoom groups, but I am thankful to have been a
part of this loving and caring group that I have been involved in since the
early nineties. As a newbie, I came to meetings with Diana Stamper with the
look of wonder in my eyes as Anne Binder, Sharon Esmont, etc. demoed for us all
the wonderful work they did. I asked Anne once if we were supposed to settle on
one hand and only do that one. I am so glad that she told me no! I have learned
many hands since then including about<span style="letter-spacing: 2.0pt;"> </span>three
or four a day when in the Reggie class in 2000, two weeks after my mom passed
away.<span style="letter-spacing: -.15pt;"> </span>I<span style="letter-spacing: -.15pt;"> </span>was<span style="letter-spacing: -.15pt;"> </span>grateful<span style="letter-spacing: -.15pt;"> </span>to<span style="letter-spacing: -.15pt;"> </span>be<span style="letter-spacing: -.15pt;"> </span>sitting<span style="letter-spacing: -.15pt;">

we can glean from. I asked Anna<span style="letter-spacing: 2.0pt;"> </span>Schlemma
many years ago if I could come over to her home for her to help me with some
calligraphy process and that started our friendship and many “Art Playdays”.<o:p></o:p></p>

Zoom. Thank you Renee for getting us started on Zoom and hope we can continue
that process with classes since many of our members are now far and wide. We
are now (almost) really good at it! I now belong to the “Bone Study Group”,
“MCG” and “Pendragons”. I met several of the Kalamazoo area<o:p></o:p></p>

been instrumental in starting us on Padlet to post our work and upcoming

emailed me asking where she could stay for the duration of the workshop and I
invited her to stay with me. She was a sweet lady and I am glad that I invited
her to stay.<span style="letter-spacing: 4.0pt;"> </span>I can’t tell you how

together.<o:p></o:p></p>

Tuveson, 928 Finch Dr., South Bend, Indiana 46614. </div><div> <b>POLICY FOR MCG </b></div><div>Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide not to attend. We have been
very generous in returning monies paid for the workshop if someone decides not to attend
at the last minute, but we are going to have a change in this policy. There will be a
nominal fee if you drop out of a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance
the birth of a grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to
decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is filled, and there
is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a refund. So please, if you want
to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you put that date on your calendar as a
commitment. We have a small calligraphy group and we struggle to fill workshops at
times. We need all of you to attend as many as possible so that we can continue to have
quality instructors.</div><div> ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK?
If so, look up your favorite calligraphers, because they are on Facebook also. I like to
look at Barbara Blose, Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters, John Stevens, Rachel Yallop,
Pendragons, Capital City Scribes, Yukimi Annand, etc.. There are lots of beautiful

<p class="MsoNormal">JULY 2022</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A MESSAGE FROM THE GUILD PRESIDENT</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> It has been a busy year and I can't believe it is already July! So sorry for this late posting - but as they say Life Happens! <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I have been taking many classes, is there a group for those addicted to zoom classes? Last February I signed up for "Introduction to Geometic Art" with Clarissa Grandi in the UK. I have always loved geometric art but am not a math person. Clarissa is a math teacher, but she removed much of the math and we just were able to follow her instructions and I am hooked! I can even reverse engineer simple designs and create them. I stress the "simple", though my way of doing something and the correct way are totally different!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAJYb71nMaHaJy86o1W3ngOOMyIig10N6H8ekZoz6DmMXKpTo5VKqw86590A12EwLThO75fZZ4hEuu5V7eYiDEfHcrOMl1r4VEdzbhzumk8K0qlXaTgfIgGe9p7qwfXPRwk3U6y3s038vLbjV7ZO5xTDRj_PQyMo5FrGf-G_WkZiJ5RsptJ7_SQ7EoSA/s2744/My%20work039.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2744" data-original-width="1936" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAJYb71nMaHaJy86o1W3ngOOMyIig10N6H8ekZoz6DmMXKpTo5VKqw86590A12EwLThO75fZZ4hEuu5V7eYiDEfHcrOMl1r4VEdzbhzumk8K0qlXaTgfIgGe9p7qwfXPRwk3U6y3s038vLbjV7ZO5xTDRj_PQyMo5FrGf-G_WkZiJ5RsptJ7_SQ7EoSA/w283-h400/My%20work039.jpg" width="283" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A design I reverse engineered<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>I have really enjoyed her classes and am signed up for more. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>APRIL 9, 2022 Meeting</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Quote: "The letters don't get their delight,when done in haste and discomfort, nor merely done with diligence and pain, but first when they are created with love and passion." - Giambattista Bodini (1740) - came from a family of engravers and himself created over 300 typefaces.

Our guild is much smaller then Pen Dragons and we may try a hybrid meeting in the future as Angie W volunteered to help. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Traci V gave us a demo of Padlet and we will give it a try. Padlet is a fairly simple way to share your work and ideas to the group while not using regular social media.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Our project for this month was to do color charts using watercolor pencils.

<p class="MsoNormal">Due to a lack of much mail at our Post Office box in South
Bend we have suspended any mail sent to that address. If you have anything to
send to the Michiana Calligraphy Guild, please send to Laurie Heyden, 18292

<p class="MsoNormal">POLICY FOR MCG</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide
not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the
workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going
to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of
a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance the birth of a
grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to
decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is
filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a
refund. So please, if you want to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you
put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy
group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend
as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If so, look up your favorite calligraphers, because they are
on Facebook also. I like to look at Barbara Blose, Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters,
John Stevens, Rachel Yallop, Pendragons, Capital City Scribes, Yukimi Annand,
etc.. There are lots of beautiful</p>

We must continue to use our common sense when going out in public.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I have once again indulged myself in taking many (to many?) classes. Some of you may think I never stopped, but I did slow way down. I have taken quite a few one time only classes and do enjoy those, as they usually only involve a couple of hours and you are done. I will write more about my classes at a future date - too busy to share now</p><p class="MsoNormal">At our April 9, 2022 we will discuss perhaps meeting in person once again. Many of our members enjoy the ability to Zoom and we will try to incorporate this into our general meetings. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><u>January 8, 2022 Meeting</u></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Quote: "Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more so that we may fear less." - Marie Curie</p><p class="MsoNormal">15 members attended this Zoom meeting.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> Amity Parks in person workshop has been canceled due to the uncertainty of Covid. We felt it was unfair to expect Amity to travel and expose herself unduly to Covid and also unfair to hold on to member money any longer. We still hope to have Amity at some time in the future.</p><p class="MsoNormal">I once again did a demo on the mandalas that I demo'ed last September (at an in-person meeting) and this time we were able to include some of our Michigan members that could not attend that meeting. I used the Helix #12091 6" 360 degree protractor to make the circles. Everyone seemed to enjoy this demo.</p>

We are requesting that you send a photo and please include a link if you purchased online. Include style number and store if purchased locally. Please send a few days prior to our April 9th Meeting so that I can get the power point ready Please limit to 2 tools. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Unplanned Demo's - I demo'd making a simple envelope out of a 9 x 12 piece of paper that I learned from a class I took with Anne Elser and then demo'd "The double seed of life" that I learned from Clarissa Grandi in a class I took from her. I had been doing "the seed of life" previously, but didn't know that was what it was called! This time I demonstrated with a Staedtler, Mars 552 compass. This compass is amazing and you can even use it with regular pens and markers!</p><p class="MsoNormal">Show and Tell - Tonia supplied us with some delightful pictures from a calendar the guild made in 1998! Wonderful nostalgia! And as always much inspiration from our members!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">P.O. BOX IN SOUTH BEND</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Due to a lack of much mail at our Post Office box in South
Bend we have suspended any mail sent to that address. If you have anything to
send to the Michiana Calligraphy Guild, please send to Laurie Heyden, 18292
Courtland Dr., South Bend, Indiana 46637 or Renee Tuveson, 928 Finch Dr., South
Bend, Indiana 46614.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">POLICY FOR MCG</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide
not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the
workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going
to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of
a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance the birth of a
grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to
decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is
filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a
refund. So please, if you want to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you
put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy
group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend
as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If so, look up your favorite calligraphers, because they are
on Facebook also. I like to look at Barbara Blose, Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters,
John Stevens, Rachel Yallop, Pendragons, Capital City Scribes, Yukimi Annand,
etc.. There are lots of beautiful</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span><!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Well, we’ve made it through another year as Covid continues
to do its thing. The stress for many of us has been overwhelming. We’re all
tired of masks and being stuck in places we’d rather not be. It seems common
sense has vanished, sometimes I feel like I am living in a Charlie Brown world
and all that can be heard is WHAAAA-WHAAA-WHAAA.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Something that has helped me deal with all the frustrations
of Covid is this very guild and the calligraphic community, but especially this
guild. Since most guilds have a requirement that you must join their guild in
order to participate in a workshop they are sponsoring I have found myself a
member of several more guilds. I really enjoy the websites and newsletters I
have received. Some guilds are quite professional in their organization and
others more seat of the pants. The larger the guild the more professional they
can be. I think ours is more seat of the pants. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <span style="font-size: large;"><b>This is what I did in my spare time today while sitting in a hotel room........<o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Classes and Supplies</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">I'm sitting in a hotel room in Orlando Florida today while my husband is in a Tax Update Seminar at the hotel across the street. He left early this morning in a thick bank of fog, but luckily he only had to walk across the street. I would imagine that there were some flights cancelled out of the airports because of the thick fog. I packed some art supplies with me including my Helix circle maker, colored pencils, Pentel mechanical pencils, drawing paper, black paper and my beautiful Juergen Vercanaest book I bought about three years ago which is all pencil lettering. After I had my favorite breakfast downstairs in the cafe (no, not the buffet with all the sausage, bacon, eggs, bread, fruit, etc.), a bowl of cereal with banana and a cup of decaf coffee. Then I sat outside a bit and made a phone call before returning to my room and taking out my supplies. First I made a couple of mandalas that Renee taught us to do in September using a white erasable marker and gel pens. When Renee showed then to us and told us what gel pens she used, I went to the computer and looked up where to order them, but before I did that, I looked in my closet and there were several gel pens specifically the ones she suggested. There is no limit to the supplies we have in our art rooms and generally when we register for a new class online, we have most if not all of the suggested tools. I'm signed up for a new Heather Held class on December 29 and January 16. It will be nice to have a few weeks to practice in between. I printed off the supply list and found that I have most of the supplies but some are in Elkhart like graph paper so I had to order that and some Hunt 22 nobs. Do I have hundreds of nibs in Indiana? Of course, but can't get them from here. I have watercolors, but not the colors that Heather will be using, so I ordered her dot page with colors she likes to use. As my dear Cara Anna would say, "I'm a collector of fine art supplies" and now in two states!</p><p class="MsoNormal">I have taken probably 25 or more Zoom classes from instructors all over the world, Canada, Brazil, Italy, England and have loved each and every one of them. Mike Kecseg, Julie Wildman, Maria Soria, Heather Held, Rachel Yallop, Carol DuBosch, Amity Parks, Pat Blair, etc. and most of these have been more than one class. Buying more supplies for each class is a treat and an excitement to try new things. One is my favorite new things is the Calligraphica Crystals I ordered from John Neal. Mix with water and write with beautiful colors. So I guess I have spent lots of money on classes and supplies during the last two years of quarantine, but we didn't go out to dinner, maybe a takeout or two, and I stayed inside all winter and maybe went to Pat West's house where I brought my lunch, we sat outside and played with her dogs when there were warm summer days. What I did ws buy myself entertainment when the world was hit with a pandemic and loved it.</p><p class="MsoNormal">I hope many of you have taken lots of Zoom classes and have time to practice something from each of them. I'm just hoping that when I move into the nursing home some day, I can still have some room for my paper and supplies that I just won't be able to part with. Do you think they would put paper, nibs and ink in the coffin??</p><p class="MsoNormal">Happy New Year,</p><p class="MsoNormal">Ginny</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">POLICY FOR MCG</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide
not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the
workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going
to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of
a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance the birth of a
grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to
decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is
filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a
refund. So please, if you want to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you
put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy
group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend
as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A MESSAGE FROM THE GUILD PRESIDENT</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello October! On the 8<sup>th</sup> of this month my
husband and I will celebrate 56 years of marriage! Quite an accomplishment for
a couple of teenagers – Who said it couldn’t be done?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Summer flew by so fast I didn’t get any of the many things I
planned done! Instead of going out and enjoying the summer I spent much of my
time reading. Since April I have read at least 20 books a month. Crazy, part of
it was avoidance as I am still in kind of a PSTD frame of mind from Covid. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyway, I have started to sign up for classes again. I am
taking a computer class, genealogy class, and origami class with our local
Forever Learning. On the calligraphy side I am signed up for Jen Sweeney’s
“Winter Wedge Wonderland” beginning Oct 4; “Adventure with Pointed Pen” with An
Vanhentenrijk beginning Oct 8; Amity Parks new class “Slow and Steady” and
“Chunky Minuscules” with the PenDragon Guild of Kalamazoo the last two
week-ends in October. Also, a couple of art classes that are not calligraphy
related so again I am off to the races!</p>

France</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We discussed the picnic to be held at Ginny’s house. Per our
discussion it was decided that we would wear masks accommodating members who

members in good standing and the membership fee will be $15.00 for new and
lapsed members. Next year the fee will go up to $20.00.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Our August 7, 2021 Picnic/Meeting at the home of Ginny V.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Quote: “We need ART because it moves us the same way it
moves others who are nothing like us, except in the way their heart splits

<p class="MsoNormal">Even though our group was small we had a wonderful lunch and
marvelous time. Membership forms were distributed and members were asked to
contact Laurie to verify that their information was the same and to update any
changes that have been made.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Our September 11, 2021 IN-PERSON MEETING Christ the King
Lutheran Church.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Quote: “Some people just make you feel better when you’re around
them. They are sunshine to your soul and medicine for your mind.” Julian Lennon
(son of John Lennon)</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Our first official in person meeting in over a year was
attended by 10 new and returning members. Welcome back Connie Wendt! So good to
see you again, and two possible new members Shanon O. and Peggy S. members
of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Christ the King Lutheran Church who
are looking for some instruction in the calligraphic arts. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anna S brought in a “bunch” of books to sell, many beautiful
bargains, the guild bought several to be used as give a ways at some of our
events. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I did a demo on creating a mandala using a compass, gel
pens, colored pencils, black and colored paper. My inspiration was Heather
Fidler, #featherfidler on instagram, who does beautifully complicated mandalas’.
Mine are just a starting point.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">POLICY FOR MCG</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide
not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the
workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going
to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of
a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance the birth of a
grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to
decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is
filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a
refund. So please, if you want to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you
put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy
group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend
as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> A MESSAGE FROM THE GUILD PRESIDENT</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> Things finally seem to be opening up and you can even go out without a mask some places. The virus is not gone and we must continue to be cautious. I think it's important to get vaccinated. The rest of the world continues to struggle with the virus, mainly because of the lack of availability of the vaccine.</p><p class="MsoNormal">We have continued with Zoom for our meetings and personally I find them very enjoyable. We are looking into having an in-person meeting for September at the church. Masks will be required for those who have not been vaccinated. We have talked about continuing the Zoom meetings as well, mid month and during the winter months. Everyone seems to be happy about that. There are a lot of benefits to having the meetings using Zoom, such as everyone gets a pretty good look at the show and tell items, also if you can't attend the meeting you can watch the recording and not miss anything! Not to mention the advantage during the winter months and to our few long distance members.</p><p class="MsoNormal">I continue to take classes on Zoom but not as many as I was. Over the past 3 months I have taken advanced spencerian with Harvest Crittenden, a couple of drawing classes with Jamie Morin, Celtic Knot with Cheryl Tefft, cookie decorating with Andrea Reno, bone script with Carol Dubosch</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">A short overview of our meetings:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>April 3, 2021</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Quote: "If you really want to do something, you will find a way.

When the dough gets a nice grill mark, not dark, turn it over and working quickly, brush lightly with olive oil, put on the tomato sauce, cheese and whatever toppings you like. Let grill till chesses is a bit melted or the dough is crispy and has a grill mark on the bottom. If it starts to get too cooked transfer to the top shelf on the grill so you don't burn them.

Robert Ronschenberg</div><div><br /></div><div><div>Anna Schlemma did a demo of her miniature paintings and the creative juices were flowing. Lots of tips and hints using gouache, water color, markers, colored pencils stencils, cutouts and ephemera. and to quote Judy Theurel. " Our lovely Anna Schlemma lead us in miniature painting. Several of us participated right along with her. She made it look sooooo easy....and it was! Not only did she demonstrate how to do these mini paintings, but she gave us lots of ideas to embellish them and how to make them uniquely ours. She suggested several small keepsakes that we could use to make our paintings special. There are not enough words to describe how much fun this demonstration was. Thank you, Anna !!!!"</div><div><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div>Discussed: Picnic - we will determine at the next meeting if we will bring our own lunch or do a pot luck as usual. </div><div> July is the month we pay our guild dues and Angie West suggested that we skip dues this year and everyone agreed this would be a great idea. We will still need to update all member information.</div><div> Angie was asked about scheduling a marbling play date with the guild and Angie was receptive to the idea just need to figure out a date and place (probably at the church)</div><div> Our dear friend and member Linda Elder will be relocating to California, we will all miss her and will make sure to invite her to our zoom meetings in the future. </div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">June Show and Tell</h3><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

<p class="MsoNormal">P.O. BOX IN SOUTH BEND</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Due to a lack of much mail at our Post Office box in South
Bend we have suspended any mail sent to that address. If you have anything to
send to the Michiana Calligraphy Guild, please send to Laurie Heyden, 18292
Courtland Dr., South Bend, Indiana 46637 or Renee Tuveson, 928 Finch Dr., South

<p class="MsoNormal">POLICY FOR MCG</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide
not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the
workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going
to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of
a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance the birth of a
grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to
decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is
filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a
refund. So please, if you want to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you
put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy
group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend
as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If so, look up your favorite calligraphers, because they are
on Facebook also. I like to look at Barbara Blose, Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters,
John Stevens, Rachel Yallop, Pendragons, Capital City Scribes, Yukimi Annand,
etc.. There are lots of beautiful</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A MESSAGE FROM THE GUILD PRESIDENT</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My email was hacked! I have had the hotmail email for twenty
years and it was attached to everything! What a nightmare! I made a list –
tried going through it item by item and still I missed things and would wake up
in the middle of the night remembering something I missed. Didn’t realize how
many groups and organizations I belonged to! How much trouble it was changing
everything to the new email. The last couple of months I felt like a hostage to
my computer. I am a pretty careful person, I don’t click on any links sent to
my email, USUALLY. But this one was so authentic looking and it was from my
email provider; or so I thought. With in a half hour my husband received an email
from me stating I was sick and needed groceries and I could no longer receive
any emails. So be careful out there, my hacker was listed as being from
Nigeria.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> Amid all the chaos I still am addicted to Zoom classes. I
signed up for a dozen classes in the past 3 months. Heather Held, Suzanne
Cunningham, Barbara Close, Harvest Crittenden, Jen Sweeney and Laurie Doctor to
name a few. The latest with Mike Kecseg on his pointed blackletter and pointed
uncial. I keep telling myself to slow down and then I see a new class and I am
lost.</p><p class="MsoNormal">On February 26 our guild lost one of our members, Maureen Trubac a dear and very talented woman passed away. There is no one as friendly or as generous as Maureen, she will be missed by all of us. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Anyway onward and upward!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">QUOTE: “Honor the friendship that allows you to pick up from
where you last left off, regardless of how long it’s been since you connected.
The friendships that survive hiatuses, silences and space, those are the
connections that never die”. – Billy Chapata</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We lost a dear and treasured member, Maureen Trubac. She was
a very talented and generous artist. Maureen, was a long time member and much
loved by all.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We welcomed back to our little group Barbara Fedder, so
wonderful to have you back Barbara!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Angie West gave us a wonderful demo on Suminigashi marbling.
Bad news is that with all the chaos in her day Renee accidentally deleted the
video. Those of us in attendance had a wonderful time, unfortunately I was not
able to share this.</p>

Elkhart, Indiana in 1974 with a three year old and an eight month old when my
husband accepted a position with Miles Laboratories. We didn’t have a single
family member within 650 miles, but two young children and a dog kept me busy.
I cooked, cleaned, sewed, and drove the girls back and forth over the years.<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> Around 1994 I took a class in calligraphy at the Elkhart
Career Center which opened up a whole new world of art to me. Soon after that,
I joined the Michiana Calligraphy Guild and continued to take classes with Anne
Binder, Karen Pilzer, Alice Hoover, and more. It was in Alice’s class one
weekend that I heard someone talking behind me and recognized that pure New
York accent. I turned around and there was Maureen Trubac, and we chatted
briefly about our time on the East Coast. Her husband, Ed, was a professor at
Notre Dame University and they had been living in Granger since the early 70’s.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> Maureen and I took workshops with the guild after that and
in 2000 we both took the year-long Reggie Ezell class at the South Bend Art
Museum. Maureen was a lefty, which made calligraphy for her a bit harder, but
her work was beautiful. After the Reggie class, a study group was started and
we met twice a month. Maureen and I were both officers for several years in our
guild and worked well together, which gave us more time to chat. Somewhere
along the line, Anna Schlemma, Maureen and I would get together at one of our
homes to work on calligraphy, share books or just chat. We called these our
“Art Play Days”. It would be like a make it/take day with various techniques we
wanted to share with one another.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIZo6uqyyjVzTpcDX2g2xY9z7sxUwP3jk0rdsLSprAgXce8yz6JwjAZfScBxB3dxiCL1L9ZWJ7Fa1o59fIc1WZMQuol30B7wDV7Rvnhu1w7CARknqBkbjiXd5XVikcEVSHoWuCHgc5WaSK/s2048/Maureen.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIZo6uqyyjVzTpcDX2g2xY9z7sxUwP3jk0rdsLSprAgXce8yz6JwjAZfScBxB3dxiCL1L9ZWJ7Fa1o59fIc1WZMQuol30B7wDV7Rvnhu1w7CARknqBkbjiXd5XVikcEVSHoWuCHgc5WaSK/w300-h400/Maureen.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Art of Maureen Trubac</div><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> Pat West joined us a few years later when she retired from
working at Bayer. Pat remembers meeting Maureen at the Reggie class and that
she would give great care and thought to her planned-out process and learned a
lot from her. When Pat’s husband Don passed away, Maureen and Ed came to Don’s
viewing and Pat was very surprised and honored to see them there. Pat always
enjoyed Maureen’s critiquing which was always done in a positive and supportive
was. Maureen had art training and also taught classes at Notre Dame.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> I remember going to Maureen’s house so she could help me
with drawing, which I really wanted to do but my brain would not cooperate
with. She was generous with her time, supplies, and knowledge. When she and Ed
moved to St. Mary’s after Ed’s health was declining, I helped her sort through
some of her calligraphy supplies and was fortunate to receive some of her
paper, paints, and books. I loved sitting next to Maureen at workshops to glean
her knowledge of color, which I did not have but knew that she could suggest
things to me and I would put them into action.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIedTzfXwdEHMta8BdU6wm3QCX4KMhzQtH0Lot-oHG0TWTSzKR5LgkhLr6dW9qfJGaGqRzupp82sRebhAeZ5CBs7ELCfDXuqO9h554ISWZ-IRe13cdv3AjqTMs1BXngN7FXrseyZyvmjUu/s4032/Cards+from+Maureen.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIedTzfXwdEHMta8BdU6wm3QCX4KMhzQtH0Lot-oHG0TWTSzKR5LgkhLr6dW9qfJGaGqRzupp82sRebhAeZ5CBs7ELCfDXuqO9h554ISWZ-IRe13cdv3AjqTMs1BXngN7FXrseyZyvmjUu/w400-h300/Cards+from+Maureen.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cards from Maureen</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> Maureen was a dear friend and I am close to tears as I write
this. I remember clearly on the day I read Facebook to learn of Maureen’s
passing when her daughter Corinne wrote on Maureen’s page. I was shocked and
saddened; I couldn’t talk to anyone about it all day. I miss you more than words can
say, Maureen and hope that you and Ed are happy in Heaven’s paradise. When I am
in my art room, I can always find you in books, cards, and broadsides that you
gave to me along with the beautiful watercolor Kingfisher that you painted for
my home in Florida that I see every day as I walk to my bedroom. Thank you for
all the love and encouragement that you gave to me and to others and for that I
will always be grateful and blessed.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-kLXCzhRXFgsU3xuw5cwNHSgBZ-tF3Z1bA_W9r8IbJ8_eCP1nV6XZGDc0ALnnf-HA1NhZ-wr6zfNszPzI7ETK_cMmZNX0YgPDPLfS4Z8IvxbINAhh_pkiy3H8HeKE5MzOn0rHM-ECwZBE/s640/Rosie+K+and+Maureen.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="515" data-original-width="640" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-kLXCzhRXFgsU3xuw5cwNHSgBZ-tF3Z1bA_W9r8IbJ8_eCP1nV6XZGDc0ALnnf-HA1NhZ-wr6zfNszPzI7ETK_cMmZNX0YgPDPLfS4Z8IvxbINAhh_pkiy3H8HeKE5MzOn0rHM-ECwZBE/w400-h323/Rosie+K+and+Maureen.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Rosie Kelley and Maureen</div><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide
not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the
workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going
to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of
a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance the birth of a
grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to
decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is
filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a
refund. So please, if you want to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you
put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy
group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend
as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #274e13;">Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!</span><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can’t say I am sad to see 2020 go. Probably everyone is glad
to see it go. In with the new year is the hope that the vaccine will be successful
and we can start seeing one another in “real time” instead of virtual. Even
with that said we are still in for a long haul to get everyone vaccinated so
PLEASE- SOCIAL DISTANCE and WEAR A MASK!!!!!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> The year in review has been very sobering and I do not want
to dwell on it, so I won’t! For me creatively it has been wonderful in that I
have learned so many new things and this year I plan to focus on using those
new abilities</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>to actually create something! I still plan on taking classes but not so many. I took at least 25 different classes last year, and that was too many. I wasn’t really able to use what I had learned. So far I am signed up for three classes: Laurie Doctor – “Speak to Me From Everywhere: Simple Practices for All Makers” Jan. 4-8. I have never taken a class with her and am very excited. Heather Held- “Notes for the New Year” Jan. 9<sup>th</sup> and 10<sup>th</sup>. I love Heather and have taken several classes with her both private and on Zoom. Barbara Close – “Pointed Pen Uncial” I have taken a flourishing Copperplate class from her in the past via Zoom. I have played with pointed pen uncial for years but have never taken a class, so exited to do that. The best part is that I didn’t have to buy anything – I had supplies on hand!<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">OCTOBER 10, 2020 Meeting</p><p class="MsoNormal">Quote: “Mistakes are the part of the dues one pays for a full life” Sophia Loren</p><p class="MsoNormal"> We had a book exchange that we had all been working on and the results were spectacular!!!

<p class="MsoNormal">Due to a lack of much mail at our Post Office box in South
Bend we have suspended any mail sent to that address. If you have anything to
send to the Michiana Calligraphy Guild, please send to Laurie Heyden, 18292

<p class="MsoNormal">POLICY FOR MCG</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide
not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the
workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going
to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of
a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance the birth of a grandchild,
illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to decide on a
course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is filled, and there
is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a refund. So please,
if you want to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you put that date on
your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy group and we
struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend as many as
possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can’t believe it’s October! I hope everyone is well and
healthy and staying safe. Seems this is going to be the new normal for a while.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyway –</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What have you been doing? I have kept busy, too busy. Still
haven’t settled into enjoying anything that I have learned in the classes! I
keep telling myself that I will stop taking these classes and just play and
then I see a class and well, I can’t seem to let it slide by.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I started out July with Maria Helena Hoksch, this was for 3
week ends, running from 2:00pm to 4:30pm each day (6 sessions) this was on
design, decoration and illustration and was in the form of a webinar so there
wasn’t any work involved for those of us watching, but a lot of note taking.
This was on Zoom through “The European Pointed Pen Collective”, a wonderful
organization that is very sharing and caring </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also had four 1 hour classes with Nina Tran on Copperplate
majuscules. I had 4 sessions with Gemma Black on Fractur through Ardington
Academy on Zoom and I had to get up at 4:30 am for this 5:00am class. But it
was worth it! Next was 3 sessions with Yukimi Annand doing “Drawn and Built-Up
Capitals” (Zoom) through Pen Dragons. If anyone has taken a class through Pen
Dragons they go all out to make the experience as wonderful as it can be. They
mailed all participants bound copies of Yukimi’s examples! This workshop was on
the letters of Hermann Killian and Yukimi has done a wonderful study of them!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In August I started with Carol DuBosh and Ben Shahn letters,
this was a fun 2 hour class (on Zoom). Then I Zoomed with Joy Daniels “Getting
Back to Basics” a wonderful relaxing and very informative week-end. This also
was through the European Pointed Pen Collective and they have a wonderful
interview with her on their website. At the end of August I Zoomed with Rachel
Yallop for 2 sessions on “The Swelling Line”. A wonderful class on flourishing
copperplate. I have both books that Rachel has put out “A Simple Copperplate
Manual” and “Copperplate Variations”. Both are excellent. Julie Wildman ‘s
Alphabet book was also in August , designing an alphabet and creating an
accordion book (wonderful). So much fun, Julie is a wonderful and sharing
teacher!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> In September I signed up for Marina Soria, “The Empty Space
–Womb of Shape” which won’t finish up until October 5. This class was devoted
to the negative space and using it creatively.
Also signed up for Yves Leterme “Thoughtful Gestures” through Harvest
Crittenden’s Acorn Arts. This is for 6 sessions, you watch his videos and send
in “homework” for him to critique.
Julie Wildman’s “Inside Curve” was next, exploring letter shapes. Carol
DuBosch and “Hand Embossing” was a wonderful exercise, lots of tips and ideas
for our art pieces. Finally a class with Pat Blair on “Flourished Copperplate
Capitals”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have three classes
scheduled for October, Heather Held’s “Enchanted Meadow” this is through the
Michigan Association of Calligraphy. One day workshop 10:00am to 4:00pm. Then
starting on October 11<sup>th</sup><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Heather Held , again “The Poetic Pen” this is on Italian hand. On
October 8<sup>th</sup> and 9<sup>th</sup> I will spend time with Pat Blair for
her “Ornamental Flourishing Harvest and Holiday. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> Is there a doctor in the house, I think I have a problem and
really need to stop! A dear friend sent me a book called “OCD Obsessive
Calligraphy Disorder” by Jean Wilson and Cheryl Adams. I believe this is what I
am suffering from. I need to get myself under control! I think I need
calligraphers anonymous!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A great big cheer for our Commander-in-Chief, Renee Tuveson
for navigating us through our “can’t be together at the church for meetings”
time this year. Renee has painstakingly found a way for us to hold a meeting on
an app called Zoom. Zoom is a program that is used to hold meetings,
conferences and family get togethers during the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>COVid Pandemic of 2020. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The COVid virus of 2020 has taken away our ability to get
together as family, friends, co-workers, etc. For some that means no birthday
parties, weddings, dinners, because this would put us all at risk, especially
us older folks. Going to the nursing homes to visit our geriatric relatives was
impossible and only visiting them through windows was the only option
available.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> Renee figured out how to host a meeting, for whoever wanted
to participate, so that we could see and talk to other members of the Michiana
Calligraphy Guild. Renee also did a power point demonstration of artwork if
someone wanted to show their work that they had recently done and we could talk
about the process that work involved.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> We all miss our friends and family, but thanks to Renee and
her tech savvy, we were able to see familiar faces and hear voices that we have
not been able to hear for the past almost 4 months now. She went above and
beyond to get us together. Thank you so much Renee Tuveson for bringing us
together when we have to stay apart. Hopefully we will be able to have our
picnic at the church in August, even though we will still sit “six feet apart”.
Maybe someone wants to letter those words!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #073763;">Note from Renee:The aborNove article was obviously written several months ago. I appreciate Ginny’s kind words but was a little embarrassed to add this to the blog and have since been convinces to publish it. Thank you Ginny for the article and you and the other members of this guild mean a lot to me. I enjoy our time together and am pleased that so many of you still come to our meetings. Technology cam be overwhelming, it is f me. But I felt I had to do
it and I am so glad I did. Love you all!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I didn’t realize that I have a disease with a name attached
to it; until Renee Tuveson pointed out that she has it too. We have been
obsessed with this disease since March when we were all quarantined because of
COVID 19. We had to cancel our Amity Parks workshop because of the virus that
was spreading like wildfire all over the world. Now what were we going to do
with our time? Sure, we had lots of paper and tools in our art rooms to keep us
busy, but we needed inspiration to keep us trying new things and growing in our
calligraphic life.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I remember correctly, the first online Zoom class I
noticed was one that the Dallas/Ft. Worth Calligraphy Guild was sponsoring with
Tamer Ghoneim who did blackletter lettering in a circle. This was a free Zoom
class and lots of people that we could actually see and talk to. Tamer is a
very talented and and pretty new calligrapher who generously gave his time
showing everyone who was interested in his lettering techniques. I loved his
work and went straight to my art room and table to start writing in blackletter
and enhancing it with designs in between the letters that he showed us how to
do.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> Next up was Jacqueline Sullivan who did an online Zoom class
about painting a landscape in Jacqueline’s unique style. I didn’t actually
finish that painting but someday, hopefully, I will get back to it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> After Jacqueline Sullivan’s class, I was hooked and started
looking for classes online to keep me
inspired. I have taken three classes with Calligraphaltalia that is hosted by
Ali Riccardo in Italy. First was Jurgen Vercamst demonstrating his pencil lettering.
He was nervous about his first class on day one, but on day two, he was more
relaxed and more enjoyable. Both days were wonderful and we learned a lot about
pencil and shading. Next was Gemma Black teaching Scriffito which is laying
down gold leaf and scratching into it. The gold is softer than you think and
Gemma showed us that all the things she does with this technique. The third
class is currently with Marina Soria who lives in Buenos Aries. She is doing
abstract calligraphy and I suggest you look her up to see her work which is
stunning. Her classes are one hour for four Mondays which actually turn into
almost 2 hours so we are getting a bonus every week. On the second week of this
class, I also also had a Carol DuBosch class on embossing which turned out to
be on the same day as the second Marina Soria class, and, they were back to
back. Luckily Carol finished her class at about 2:58 pm which gave me time to
get into the second Zoom class of the day. Whew!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> Also took two classes with my dear friend Julie Wildman on
Fun and Funky letters and The Inside Curve. Both classes were a lot of fun and
Julie is always generous with her information to help you achieve your
lettering goals.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> I happened to see Rachel Yallop on Instagram advertising a
class on her beautiful pointed pen lettering and knew that I would have to get
into that class. I contacted her once about coming to South Bend a few years
back to do a workshop and she replied with “you know I am in England, right?”
Oops, no! I thought she was in Canada! So, I immediately signed up for her
class. She also, was very generous in answering any questions that came her way
and I absolutely loved being in her class for two days.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> Next I saw Amity Parks was going to do a two-day, two-hour
workshop on the middle of October. I knew we are going to have her in South
Bend in 2021, but I thought I would get a head start on her beautiful pencil
lettering and shading. I took an Amity Parks class in Kalamazoo called Chunky
Caps using Bister Ink maybe two years ago and really enjoyed her teaching
style.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> A few days ago, I signed up for a Pat Blair class on Zoom.
Par Blair was the White House calligrapher for many years and does beautiful
pointed pen work. I actually was able to take a class with her in Kalamazoo
several years ago. This class will be called Ornamental Flourishing Harvest
& Holiday. I love the pointed pen, so this is right up my alley. It does
say beginner on her ad for this class, so I wrote to her to make sure it wasn’t
too elementary for me. She responded to my email very quickly and assured me
that it wasn’t just for beginners so I knew I had to sign up for it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> So, as far as I know, I have not signed up for any more
classes after the middle of October. We will be leaving early in November for
our home in Florida for a few months and unfortunately, I cannot take all my
art supplies with me, darn it! But, there is always Paper and Ink and John Neal
to order supplies. If you haven’t yet tried a class on Zoom, give it a try.
It’s the next best thing to being in a classroom surrounded by fellow artist
and maybe you will see Renee and I there too, and Linda Elder, and Julie
Wildman, and Pat West and Laurie Heyden, Yukimi Annand, etc. and more than
likely see calligraphers that you’ve wanted to take classes from that like
taking online calligraphy classes also.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> Okay, a big show of hands here…who thinks I have <b>Obsessive
Calligraphy Disorde</b>r this year? Anyone, anyone…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> A big thank you to Renee Tuveson for keeping us in the loop
about what is going on in our guild through Zoom. Even though we cannot be
together in person, I am enjoying seeing my artsy friends on the screen and
chatting with them even for just a few minutes.</p>

a shield surrounded by a mantle (i.e., the cloak that a knight wore to the
crusades) and a banner inscribed with the family motto. Later bookplates were
more pictorial and might portray a landscape, the family home, an individual
reading a book, a library interior, a book or pile of books, animals, trees, a
favorite hobby, and so on. Open books, library interiors, and a scene viewed
through a library window have been favorite themes. While most bookplates have
been pictorial objects or scenes captured in black and white, there</span><span style="border: 0in none windowtext; color: black; font-size: 9pt; mso-ascii-font-family: inherit; mso-hansi-font-family: inherit; padding: 0in;">’</span><span style="border: 0in none windowtext; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 9pt; padding: 0in;">s no reason they can</span><span style="border: 0in none windowtext; color: black; font-size: 9pt; mso-ascii-font-family: inherit; mso-hansi-font-family: inherit; padding: 0in;">’</span><span style="border: 0in none windowtext; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 9pt; padding: 0in;">t

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>POLICY FOR MCG</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide
not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the
workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going
to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of
a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance the birth of a grandchild,
illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to decide on a
course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is filled, and there
is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a refund. So please,
if you want to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you put that date on
your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy group and we
struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend as many as
possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK?</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If so, look up your favorite calligraphers, because they are
on Facebook also. I like to look at Barbara Blose, Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters,
John Stevens, Rachel Yallop, Pendragons, Capital City Scribes, Yukimi Annand,
etc.. There are lots of beautiful calligraphy on these pages that will get you
inspired. Also look at Joanne Fink and Barbara Lever’s Facebook pages. Be sure
to check Pinterest, so many places to be inspired!</p>

First off – It is July and the dues are due! $15.00 you can

Well, here we are still mired down in this Corona Virus. I
have struggled and am still struggling with the need to create something. I
seem to be caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place. Caught in a
quarantine fog of no ideas so I sign up for a class and then 2 classes and then
3 and then no time to concentrate on a specific project. So I have managed to
keep myself busy, but with no real playtime. I really need to get organized!
Make myself a schedule and stick to it.</div>

I have an ongoing subscription to Skillshare and Tracey
Lizotte Academy, plus I’ve bought individual classes from Teachable and Udemy. </div>

This past month I have taken “Fun and Funky Letters” and
“Akim” with Julie Wildman. This was my second time with Akim and I am glad I
took it, I was in one of her first classes of Akim (first time in person) and
she has added so much more to the class. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I took “Downstroke and Upstroke – The Pencil Rhythm” with
Jurgen Vercaemst and that was amazing. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I took a copperplate “Bootcamp” with Nina Tran there were 4
one hour classes over a two week period. Plus I follow Nina on Instagram and
she has a half hour demo every Wednesday at 9:30am (our time 6:30am hers)</div>

Starting this Saturday I will be taking a class with Maria
Helena Hoksch, through the European Pointed Pen Collective on design basics.
She is an amazing calligrapher and does beautiful pieces. On July 13<sup>th</sup>
I will be doing Fractur with Gemma Black, and I that class starts at 5:00am our
time!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All of this brings me to a question. Do they have an AA for
calligraphers? I will limit myself from now on, believe me there are classes
out there that I didn’t sign up for that I wanted to. Zoom has opened me up to
a whole new world and I have enjoyed it very much. I have been able to go to
study groups for the Chicago Calligraphy Collective and Pen Dragons in
Kalamazoo that I never would have been able to attend otherwise. I hope that
once this virus goes away (I hope) that classes will continue to be offered in
this format.</div>

The past few months have been very trying, with my dog
adding to my stress. She is an 11 year old English Bulldog (life span is
generally 8-10 years). She has been very healthy up until this last year. In
January she developed corneal ulcers in one eye and then the other. Vet visits
every couple of weeks for a while for her to debride the eyes after which
Stella had to wear a cone. Stella became depressed and for a while we thought
we would have to put her down. Then the doctor put her on steroids and what a
difference! Almost her old self! For the time being she is doing well and may
give us a little more time with her. She has always been a puppy, very playful
and lively so the last few months have been very hard. Maybe that is why I
threw myself in the calligraphy classes , to escape the pain of possibly losing
her.</div>

POLICY FOR MCG</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide
not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the
workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going
to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of
a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance the birth of a
grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to
decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is
filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a
refund. So please, if you want to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you
put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy
group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend
as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If so, look up your favorite calligraphers, because they are
on Facebook also. I like to look at Barbara Blose, Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters,
John Stevens, Rachel Yallop, Pendragons, Capital City Scribes, Yukimi Annand,
etc.. There are lots of beautiful calligraphy on these pages that will get you
inspired. Also look at Joanne Fink and Barbara Lever’s Facebook pages. Be sure
to check Pinterest, so many places to be inspired!</div>

have a Handmade Book Club that I have recently joined, though this is now
closed Ali Manning will open it up again at the end of April. This is a
wonderful and very helpful site that some of our guild members have joined. The

and just can’t say enough good things about it.</div>

I had signed up for a
watercolor class with “Forever Learning” but the virus put an end to that. They
have hopes to start up again in April but I thing it may be May. So I have
signed up with Tracy Lizotte and her Academy. <a href="https://tracylizottestudios.teachable.com/p/the-art-academy">https://tracylizottestudios.teachable.com/p/the-art-academy</a>
There is a monthly charge but she has lots of videos and instruction and she
also has twice monthly on line Q and A’s about painting and marketing and past
meetings are also available to view. </div>

Marty M. was in charge
of the meeting as I was in Chicago in a workshop with Suzanne Cunningham.
Sharon E. did a great job with her demo of a punch cradle. For Valentines, Marty made little boxes and put heart shaped chocolates in them for everyone. Anna was the lucky recipient of a pan of Fine Tec. Show and Tell always the highlight. </div>

Two potential new members visited our meeting Ashley and Jamie, they found us through a google search. Yay Google! Many things discussed including IAMPETH, Amity Parks Workshop, the special collection at the Hesberg library, Angie is teaching again at Penn HS. I gave a demo in making poinsettias and leaves with the wedge brush and assisted anyone with questions. Show and Tell was inspiring with Anna's books and Ginny brought a couple of quilts she has been working on.</div>

JAKE WEIDMANN</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">by Renee Tuveson</span></h3>
<div>
I received an email from a friend saying that she and her husband had gone to Hillsdale College (Hillsdale Michigan) to see an exhibit by Jake Weidman. She said they were "Just blown away" by his work. She knew I loved pointed pen, she sent a few photos and said if I had the time I should go.</div>
<div>
I have always been impressed with the work of Jake Weidmann, I follow him on Instagram. What a wonderful exhibit! To see his work up close and personal was indeed mind blowing. Most of his pieces are quite large and incredibly precise. He is a very talented young man, and to achieve all that he has at such a young age is incredible.</div>
<div>
Below is a link to a TEDtalk that he did and some pictures I took at the exhibit. I urge you to follow him on Instagram, where you can see "work in progress.</div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide not to attend.
We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the workshop if someone
decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going to have a change in
this policy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There will be a nominal
fee if you drop out of the workshop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
there would be an emergency, for instance, a birth of a child or grandchild,
illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to decide on a
course of action regarding a refund.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Also, if the workshop is filled and there is someone to take your place,
that would also quality for a refund. So please, if you want to sign up for the
workshop, make sure that you put that date on your calendar as a
commitment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have a small calligraphy
group and we struggle to fill workshops at times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We need all of you to attend as many as possible so that we can
continue to have quality instructors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

A MESSAGE FROM THE GUILD PRESIDENT</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Welcome to 2020 and hoping for a year full of creativity for everyone! What is your resolution for the coming year? Mine is to continue in my search for artistry in whatever I do. I don't want to say perfection because that is too much pressure. I am happy to do my best and share what I have learned with others. Also, I would like to become more tech smart, It is a very useful tool and I am very lacking.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
On January 9th. I start my first class of this year with Heather Held! I think I am addicted to her classes. I took 3 last year and loved everything about them. She is a beautiful and caring person. Our first class will be a combo "Line Dances" and "Vintage Garden", should be a wonderful combination.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
My previous classes with Heather have been "The Enchanted Letter", "The Artful Flourish" and "The Poetic Pen -The Study and Evolution of Italian Hand". I have thoroughly enjoyed them all. The lessons are done through Skype and you are allowed to record them which is a great help, plus Heather supplies numerous handouts through Dropbox. </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
2019 was definitely the year of the class for me as I also signed up for a watercolor class with "Forever Learning" that was amazing. I am continuing with watercolor online with Tracey Lizotte and taking another flourishing online class with Younghae Chung she is really amazing and a left hander, which makes me think that my problem with calligraphy is that I am not left handed. She does not write in the traditional way of left-handers.</div>

Quote: "Not everything you do is going to be a masterpiece, but you get art there and you try and sometimes it really happens. The other times you're just stretching your soul". Maya Angelou.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
We discussed upcoming workshop with Amity Parks in March of 2020. The guild had purchased calligraphy supplies from Mary Fader and these were distributed among members. Also, discussed sending cards to members for birthdays. As always Show and Tell for inspiration.</div>

Angie gave 6 of us a lesson in Blackletter, which finished up our classes for the year. A big thank you to Angie West our resident instructor! We discussed the Amity Parks workshop in March and we have been given an extra day at no additional cost! So the workshop has gone from a 2 day to a 3 day workshop. The dates will be March 27, 28 and 29! And of course Show and Tell!</div>

PAYING IT FORWARD - Ginny VanderHey</h4>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Again this year, we are spending a few months in Ft. Myers, Florida, arriving in early November, going to Texas for Thanksgiving, and will be with our younger daughter and her family for the Christmas holidays. And, again this year, I will be missing the guild Christmas party. My Christmas cards I made, plus others I didn't, all went into the mail yesterday. I have three more to send out, but that will get done quickly. Christmas gifts are mostly bought, but need to add a few things and then do some wrapping.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
As I have mentioned before, I belong t a quilt group through the church and love these very talented and hardworking ladies, They make quilts mostly for donating to sick and hospitalized people in the church and make some things for themselves along the way. We have had lunch together, do a Christmas party and exchange and they are a marvelous support for each other. About half the group are Floridians and the other half, snow birds, like me. One of the ladies, from Kentucky and with a wonderful accent, loves the art of calligraphy and we have started having "lessons" every week. I have started her on the foundational hand and she, like we do, laments about not being very good at it. Haven't we all said that at one point or another! To add to that, the whole quilt group has asked me to do a calligraphy demo early in 2020 and I intend to show them several of the tools I brought with me. I am so happy to see our beautiful art is alive and well and interests others far and wide. I was also asked to do an acrylic pour demo. I donated three of my pieces to the bazaar that the church held as well as pumpkin pie biscotti and jam thumbprint cookies.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
So even though I am "vacationing" in Florida for a few months, I am also busy promoting and supporting calligraphy and also helping the art suppliers so others can begin collecting "fine art supplies" as my Cara Anna calls them.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
I'm sitting in Orlando today writing this note while my husband is sitting in a tax software update conference. We walked all over Epcot yesterday and today I am going to Disney Springs to do a little shopping. Mickey Mouse is everywhere here!!!</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Hope you all had a healthy and happy holiday season and are ready to get back to work (art). Miss you all and see you in March!</div>

POLICY FOR MCG</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide
not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the
workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going
to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of
a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance the birth of a
grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to
decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is
filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a
refund. So please, if you want to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you
put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy
group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend
as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.</div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK?</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
If so, look up your favorite calligraphers, because they are
on Facebook also. I like to look at Barbara Blose, Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters,
John Stevens, Rachel Yallop, Pendragons, Capital City Scribes, Yukimi Annand,
etc.. There are lots of beautiful calligraphy on these pages that will get you
inspired. Also look at Joanne Fink and Barbara Lever’s Facebook pages. Be sure
to check Pinterest, so many places to be inspired!</div>

A MESSAGE FROM THE GUILD PRESIDENT</h3>
<br />
<br />
Welcome Fall! One of my favorite seasons! The beauty of the colors!<br />
<br />
<br />
I am currently finishing up with an online class with Heather Held, "Italian Hand". A lovely and romantic hand that pre-dates copperplate. Heather suggests Ox Gall ink, for fine hairlines and nice shades and it truly makes for some beautiful letters, but I had quite a problem with nib breakage. Constant cleaning and rinsing of the nib did help with this. But I did start using walnut ink darkened with a bit of sumi for practice. Though the Ox Gall is a much more pleasing look. This was my third class with Heather this year, first one was "The Enchanted Letter", the second was "The Artful Flourish". It has been wonderful she is truly a gifted artist and teacher. I am also signed up for next year with a combo class of "Line Dances" and "Vintage Garden"<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, next year I will be taking a trip to Chicago to be in a class with Suzanne Cunningham. She is also a gifted calligrapher. <br />
<br />
<br />
I signed up for a watercolor class at Forever Learning. I always said I could be a professional student! Too bad it costs me money not the other way round!<br />
<br />
<br />

July Meeting</h3>
Quote: You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again. You can also look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life. (From The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt)<br />
We discussed the picnic, new additions to the blog and the disappointment of the cancelation of "Days of the Handmade Book". Also, Jo McPherson will no longer be our communications person, that job has been taken over by Sharon Esmont. Thank you Jo for all your years of service, we will miss you. For Show and Tell, several books were passed around. Angie West shared some origami folds she had been doing also Pat, Angie and Ginny showed some of the wonderful marbled papers they had done. Maureen had samples of Akim cursive she was working on and Judy showed us her lovely zentangles.<br />

<h3>
August Meeting and Picnic</h3>
Quote: If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever. (Alfred Tennyson)<br />
Wonderful event at Ginny VanderHey's home, good food, good company, what more can you ask for! We all turned in our artwork copies and they were all fantastic. We have so many talented people in our group we are truly blessed. Anna Schlemma was able to attend a workshop with David McGrail and what amazing techniques she learned!<br />

<h3>
September Meeting</h3>
Quote: Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. (Twyla Thara)<br />
<br />
<br />
On March 28th and 29th we will have a workshop with Amity Parks at the Walnut Grove community building, details to follow.<br />
Angie instructed 6 members in Italic, going around helping all to achieve their goals. <br />
Business cards were passed out to all members present and I will bring to all meetings, be sure to pass them around and pick up more as you need them. Thank you Angela Michielutti for you work and efforts on these cards. Job well done.<br />
Show and tell: Ginny our master sewer as well as calligrapher brought in bags she had made, beautiful! Renee brought in samples of Italian Hand from her Heather Held class and was talked into a possible class for next year in this hand. I have a lot of practicing to do!!!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">POLICY FOR MCG</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide
not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the
workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going
to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of
a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance the birth of a
grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to
decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is
filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a
refund. So please, if you want to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you
put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy
group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend
as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If so, look up your favorite calligraphers, because they are
on Facebook also. I like to look at Barbara Blose, Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters,
John Stevens, Rachel Yallop, Pendragons, Capital City Scribes, Yukimi Annand,
etc.. There are lots of beautiful calligraphy on these pages that will get you
inspired. Also look at Joanne Fink and Barbara Lever’s Facebook pages. Be sure
to check Pinterest, so many places to be inspired!</span></div>

</span><span style="font-size: small;">A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT<br />
<br /><br />
Well, remember the quote "the hurrier I go the behinder I get", that is me in a nutshell! So many irons in the fire that I can't seem to get anything done. Even when I am supposed to be sleeping I am thinking of things I would like to do. </span><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">So we had a pretty productive business meeting a few days ago and made some decisions. We discussed plans for next year. We will not devote an entire meeting to a particular hand or project in the future. We will set "Playdates" for these things in between meetings. <span style="font-size: small;">We will continue to do the make and takes and demos that we have done in the past. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">We will add some things to the blog such as a Buy and Sell section, if anyone is looking for a particular book or tool or have things to sell just send me an email. Also we will have a section for anyone who would like to give lessons, just send me an email and I will add this to the blog. As soon as the minutes from the monthly meetings are available they will be posted to blog also, hopefully with plenty of pictures!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">AKIM ATTRACTIONS - May 23, 2019</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3>
What is faster than a Speedball B nib? More powerful than a double ligature? Able to leap tall ascenders at a single bound? It's super-calligrapher Julie Wildman taking MCG members and friends on a roller-coaster ride through the paces of Akim Cursive.</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
after introducing herself to us, Julie introduced us to Akim's creator (German calligrapher, sculptor, and musician Hans-Joachim Burget) and Akim's underlying structure (replication of the rhythm of the human heart). Junior detective Julie spent time researching Burget and Akim in depth, including an extensive quest for the definition of "Akim". During her futile search for a definition, she found "Akim" in a list of names and their meanings; it's a short version of "Joachim", so she concluded that Burget had actually named it after himself, albeit indirectly and playfully.</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Looking at samples of Burget's Akim, you will be charmed by its harmony of elegant, elongated ascenders and gentle, graceful curves. Julie has created a personal adaptation of Akim, connection letters where Burget would have let each individual letter stand alone. She feels that this quickens the "heartbeat" of a hand in which the letters aren't difficult, but the connections are "interesting".</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Julie proved that there"s nothing hard about this hand by briskly taking us through the basic strokes and lower case; so that by noon, we had "mastered" the forms and were ready to plunge into applications. (Incidentally, Julie usually teaches Akim as a two-day class, but MCG had asked her to compress it into one day, hence her hyperdrive.) In the afternoon, we practiced connections, alphabet sentences, and rhythm---always looking for the feeling of a heartbeat.</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Julie was conscientious about having us use every item on her supply list. She also supplied us with a bound booklet which provided seven pages of instruction and six pages of inspiration. She increased her popularity by giving everyone the gift of a Vintage Esterbrook #788 oval-point nib. (If you ever find any of these for sale, BUY. THEM. ALL.) We enjoyed playing with the pointed nibs; but since Akim lends itself to a variety of tools from folded pens to fine-tip applicators, we played with those, too. Inasmuch as Julie has already created her personal version of this hand, she encouraged us to do likewise through directed exercises in changing letter heights, slant, stroke direction, and tools. The possibilities are endless, especially in the fertile mind of Julie Wildman.</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
As a long distance member of MCG, I'd like to thank the local members for their friendly welcome and their attention to all essential aspects of a workshop, not the least of which were great snacks and the most artistically arranged luncheon I've ever seen. Their hospitality was exceeded only by their camaraderie. As someone whose vintage brain doesn't always retain names, I maintain that the ultimate kindness a guild can provide is to ask everyone to wear nametags; so I thank everyone who did so that day.</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Burget put his musical and calligraphic talents into Akim, and Julie put her heart into teaching it. I can sum up the day in two words. Wild and wonderful.</h3>

<span style="font-size: small;">Calligraphy classes are being offered through the MCG by long time member Angie West. The goal is to provide instruction in calligraphic hands to members already familiar with calligraphic tools. Beginners are welcome to attend. All students must understand that as each class is an introduction to the hand, much practice and study is necessary to become proficient.<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; border-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; color: #201f1e; font-family: "segoe ui" , "segoe ui web (west european)" , "segoe ui" , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "roboto" , "helvetica neue" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: 400; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

To date, three classes have been taught, Roman capitals, my take on modern pointed pen, and foundational hand. As the instructor, I think that all the students made progress during the class. Those students who went home and did the recommended homework progressed the most.</div>

Two additional classes are scheduled for this year. Italic on September 7 and Blackletter on November 7. The class runs from 10 to 3. Bring a lunch, and as this is the first Saturday of the month, we hold our business meeting from noon to 12:30 while eating. Other members come to the meeting too. Each class is $10/day.</div>

For these classes, I recommend a parallel pen, I prefer you have the 6.0 mm. I also like students to have graph paper for calligraphic work. But we work in class with what you have, and myself and some other students loan out supplies.</div>

<span style="color: red; font-size: small;">POLICY FOR MCG</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></h3>
<h3 style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide
not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the
workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going
to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of
a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance the birth of a
grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to
decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is
filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a
refund. So please, if you want to sign up foe the workshop, make sure that you
put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy
group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend
as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.</span></h3>

<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></h3>
<h3 style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If so, look up your favorite calligraphers, because they are
on Facebook also. I like to look at Barbara Blose, Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters,
John Stevens, Rachel Yallop, Pendragons, Capital City Scribes, Yukimi Annand,
etc.. There are lots of beautiful calligraphy on these pages that will get you
inspired. Also look at Joanne Fink and Barbara Lever’s Facebook pages. Be sure
to check Pinterest, so many places to be inspired!</span></h3>

A Note from the Chairperson:</h3>
<div>
Ahhhhhhh Spring! Is it finally here? Time to crawl out of our shells and get going. I've been busy the last couple of months with Heather Held! I signed up for a one on one through Skype doing "The Enchanted Letter" with her and it was wonderful! I had three sessions February 7th, and 21st and the last one on March 7. There were handouts and I was able to record each session for future reference. Heather is a wonderful and skillful teacher with plenty of pointers and guidance along the way. Homework was assigned and emailed back to her for critique upon completion. She encouraged you to contact her with questions and was most gracious. Here are a few examples of the homework I did in her class. I enjoyed the class so much I have signed up for the "The Artful Flourish" to start in May!<br />

February Meeting:</div>
<div>
Quote: Use the talents you possess.The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang the best. - Henry VanDyke</div>
<div>
There were 11 of us in attendance. This was our first in a series of calligraphic hands taught by Angie West. This month the class was Romans. I think people not in the calligraphic group realize that there is much to learn with Romans, there are rules and proportions to follow. Once the rules have been learned you are allowed to break them, but it is best to learn them first and appreciate their beauty. Angie had wonderful handouts and did demos on all the letters working with each of us as needed.</div>

March Meeting:<br />
Quote - Don't worry about failures worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try. - Jack Canfield.<br />
<br />
We discussed upcoming workshops and it was decided that we would ask Julie Wildman to do her "Akim" workshop with us as we have several new members who would enjoy this script. Ginny stated she would contact Julie and get this set up (See Workshops for details) Anna has been working with Rosie Kelley in setting up another workshop with us as we all love Rosie so much and she has so much knowledge to share and this is in the works also.<br />
Show and tell included: Ginny - sharing her work with the online workshop she took with Carl Rohr (article to follow), Ginny also brought a tile she did an acrylic pour on and some tote bags she has made. Angie brought a project she is working on for her sons graduation, also a couple of books by artist Maian Bantjes that were amazing to look at. Linda brought a pencil bag she had made. Sharyn brought her pictures from the 2018 picnic and our annual Christmas party. Thanks Sharyn. I also shared my work with Heather Held.<br />
Angie went over romans worksheets with those that completed the homework.<br />

AN ONLINE CLASS WITH CARL ROHRS</h4>
<div>
While I have plenty to do when I am at my winter home in Ft. Myers, Florida, including playing dominoes on Tuesday afternoons and going to a quilt club on Thursdays or a quilt show with the ladies I sew with, or reading out on the lanai, there is always the need for something more. So, when I saw the advertisement from Harvest Crittenden for an online class with Carl Rohr's I had to decide if I had enough time to actually sit down and write letters. My husband does some remote accounting work for a few hours a day so I am free to wander to the pool, to the fabric store, etc. I decided yes, that this was a good opportunity to learn some new letters from a master calligrapher. Our little guild cannot support a calligrapher of his quality at this time, so I thought that I would jump at the chance.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've taken about 3 online classes with Harvest Crittenden and knew that her content was full of handouts and lots of information on lettering.I had previously taken two classes with Harvest in the Copperplate style and also took a class on the decorated letter along with Renee Tuveson and Marty Mitchell. Online classes allow you to watch the videos at your leisure abd whatever time you like. You can be dressed in your high heels or in your jammies and no one will be the wiser.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The online classes with Carl were over a period of 4 consecutive Wednesdays. The only things I needed for this class in the way of supplies was a Horizon Pen, which I did not own, and a pad of paper. So I quickly ordered them from Paper and Ink and they arrived in the mail a few days later. Since I enrolled about 2 days before the class started, I didn't start to watch the videos until my Horizon Pen arrived. Carl was patient and kind and sometimes didn't like the way his hand made a letter since he has tremors and admits that by later in the day, his hand will shake more and not work the way he wants it to. The handouts were in multiples each week as well as about 60 sheets of letteringstyles to add to the mix, which I took to staples to get spiral bound. I carried that home back to Elkhart in my suitcase which added about 5 pounds! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Carl writes slowly and methodically so you can see the manipulation of his pen strokes. His letters are beautiful and need to be practiced to achieve his level of perfection. Each week he provided three, four or even five different videos. I didn't love the Horizon Pen at first. I had to order the next size up from what Carl uses , so I blamed my not getting the letters on that faction. So I picked up my carpenters pencil and slowly was able to grasp what he was trying to teach so many of us around the world. That's the beauty of an online class. You get to converse with the and see how others letter. I found Linda Elder and Alicia Marquez were both in the class. Alicia does beautiful lettering and hopefully she will be teaching in the near future.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Calligraphy is not just picking up a pen or a brush. It takes practice and patience, the latter not being one of my strong suits. I loved this class and look forward to another online class at acornarts.org. Till then, I need to go to my art room as much as possible and write letters and sew, and cook, and clean the house.....</div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 12pt;">At our March meeting, the MCG decided they would like to have an Akim lettering class with Julie Wildman, so I contacted her, and she was available for this date. Julie has been in South Bend twice before to conduct workshops and we are grateful that she can be with us again. The date of the workshop is <b>Thursday, May 23, 2019</b> and will be held at <b>Christ the King Lutheran Church in South Bend, Indiana</b>. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 12pt;">Akim letters were created by German calligrapher, sculptor and musician, Hans-Joachim Burgert. Akim Cursive is a lovely, gentle hand that is said to replicate the rhythm of the human heart.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 12pt;">We will begin with a simple, monoline tool and explore how the letters are made, learn different ways to join them to create that heart rhythm, and then begin to write longer sentences.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 12pt;">This class would be great for all our newbies who are just beginning their calligraphic journey. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

The cost of this workshop will be $65. for members and $80.

<div style="margin: 0in 12pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Our workshops seem to have people sign up then decide not to
attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the workshop if
someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going to have a
change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of a
workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance, the birth of a child or
grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to
decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is
filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a
refund. So please, if you want to sign up for the workshop, make sure that you
put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy
group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend
as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3 style="margin-left: 12pt; margin-right: 12pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;">Are you on Facebook? </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;">If so, look up your favorite calligraphers because they are on facebook
also. I like to look at Barbara Close, Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters, John
Stevens, Rachel Yallop, Pendragons, Capital City Scribes, Yukimi Annand, etc.
There are lots of beautiful calligraphy on these pages that will get you
inspired. Also look at Joanne Fink and Barbara Lever's Facebook page. And then,
there is always Pinterest. Oh my, so many places to be inspired!</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></h3>

lack of much mail at our Post Office box in South Bend, we have suspended any
mail sent to that address. If you have anything to send to the MCG, please send
to Laurie Heyden, 18292 Courtland Dr., South Bend, Indiana 46637 or Ginny

Christmas is over and can't believe it! This past year has flown by.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We had a wonderful Christmas with family coming from both coasts! Christmas day we had a house full with kids, grand kids and great grand kids! My 91 year old dad was here and we were able to take a 5 generation picture, this meant a lot to me as well as my dad. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Looking forward to 2019 with plans to be as creative as possible. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Signed up for an online, one on one with Heather Held and am very excited about it. Have ordered my supplies and just waiting to set the date. There will be 3 sessions with her doing the "Enchanted Letter". I have admired her work for a long time and finally will try to learn some of her techniques. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will continue my independent study of calligraphy and book making as always and try to take as many classes and workshops that time and money will allow!</div>

October Meeting:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Quote: I have spent many days stringing and unstringing my instrument, while the song I came to sing remains unsung. Rabindranath Tagore.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anne Binder presented a proposal at our October meeting. Anne asked if the guild would be willing to help with another "DAYS OF THE HANDMADE BOOK"? WOW! We have not had one since 2000! This was before my involvement with the guild and I did not participate so I am eager to be a part of this one. (To see the story of the original Days <a href="https://cecilia-letteringart.com/dohb/dohbmainpage.htm" id="LPlnk205844" istemptitle="true" title="Ctrl+Click to follow link
https://cecilia-letteringart.com/dohb/dohbmainpage.htm">https://cecilia-letteringart.com/dohb/dohbmainpage.htm</a> ) Anne sent an email to all members and all signs are good to go......</div>

November Meeting:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Quote: You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. Rabindranth Tagore.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had a surprise visit from Diana Stamper, a long time member who has moved to Colorado. It was wonderful seeing her! We discussed future workshops and the problems with the fact that instructors are booked out so far. We don't have any workshops scheduled for this year and need to check in with other guilds and see what we can do to possibly "borrow" some of the talent out there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anna Schlemma and Laurie Heyden both did demos. Anna on 2 accordion style books and Laurie on the caterpillar stitch used mainly as a decorative stitch in bookmaking.</div>

December Meeting:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Quote: Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love. Hamilton Wright Mabie.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Annual Christmas Luncheon - Gift Exchange. We had a nice turnout and wonderful food to share. We made donations to Christ the King Lutheran Church, they have been very kind and helpful to the guild. Also, donations to the Food Bank and the Midwest Museum of Art in Elkhart. The theme of the gift exchange was "Christmas" and may made ornaments all beautiful but Jo and Anna were the stars of the exchange! Jo accidentally knocked her garden nozzle in her gift bag, the look on Anna's face was priceless when she pulled it out of the bag! We all had a good laugh!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If we were to give a prize for the best "Show and Tell" artist in our group I feel that honor would have to go to Anna Schlemma, she is one of the most creative and productive people in out small group. She had challenged herself to make a new book every week for 2018 and she came very close to accomplishing that goal and we saw the fruits of that labor at our meetings. She is an inspiration to us all! Love you Anna!</div>

<span style="color: red;">POLICY
FOR MCG</span></h3>
<div style="margin: 0in 12pt;">
Our workshops seem to have people sign up then
decide not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for
the workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are
going to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop
out of a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance, the birth of a
child or grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under
advisement to decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the
workshop is filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also
qualify for a refund. So please, if you want to sign up for the workshop, make
sure that you put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small
calligraphy group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of
you to attend as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality
instructors.</div>
<h3 style="margin-left: 12pt; margin-right: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Are
you on Facebook? </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;">If
so, look up your favorite calligraphers because they are on facebook also. I
like to look at Barbara Close, Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters, John Stevens,
Rachel Yallop, Pendragons, Capital City Scribes, Yukimi Annand, etc. There are
lots of beautiful calligraphy on these pages that will get you inspired. Also
look at Joanne Fink and Barbara Lever's Facebook page. And then, there is
always Pinterest. Oh my, so many places to be inspired!</span></h3>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A note from the chairperson</span></span></h2>
Where does the time go......? I ask myself that question everyday. The summer flew by and we are headed for the long cold winter.<br />
<br />
I have been busy puttering with trying to improve my pointed pen and making books. For me bookmaking and calligraphy are like the old chicken and the egg controversy. Which came first? I love them both and always have. As a child I was fascinated with cursive writing and remember when my mother was writing a letter to her brother, who was in the service I would scribble on a piece of paper in a linear fashion and ask that she send my letter too. Folded papers stapled together made a book which I would draw pictures in. So how long have I been a calligrapher and bookmaker? FOREVER!<br />
<br />
I have recently become a user of Instagram, my son does nature photography as a hobby, though he is good enough to be a professional. He posts on Instagram as the quality is better than Facebook. Anyway that opened a whole new world for me with calligraphy. I have found calligraphers I never heard of before and they are amazing! My favorite is Nina Tran from Los Angeles, she is perfection! Her fans are all trying to get her to post on youtube as the videos on Instagram are short lived. She does a live session at 9:30 am (our time) on Tuesday mornings and the video is available for the rest of the day. A watercolor artist I follow is Esther Peck, she does the most gorgeous flowers! Give Instagram a try it is really worth it.<br />

<b>MONTHLY MEETINGS</b><br />
The quote for our July meeting was : Rest when you are weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work. by Ralph Marston.<br />
<br />
We had some wonderful Show and Tell.Featuring some of the things brought: Ginny Vander Hey brought a quilt she made for one of her grandchildren, an applique with 2 manatees on it. Beautiful! As well as cards she had made using her "poured acrylic techniques". Anna Schlemma brought books that she has been working on that were truly stunning. Angie West brought a card she made using her marbled paper.<br />
<br />
Our Make and Take project for July was an Accordion Book, which Ginny and I collaborated on. A pretty simple structure that allows you to add to it and make as elaborate as you want. My structure was a little longer allowing you to fold and make pockets. I think everyone enjoyed this book.<br />

Our Annual Picnic was held on August 4th at the home of Ginny VanderHey. Our quote for August was: "Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom" by Marcel Proust.<br />
The food was amazing as always with warm chicken salad, BBQ meatballs, avocado salsa, cheese cake, lemon curd cake and cookies and more!<br />
We had a surprise visit from Anne Binder who brought give a ways for everyone, and discussed a new "Day of the Handmade Book" which would be held in 2019. This would require a venue and much help from our members. An exciting adventure to say the least!<br />
Ginny and Pat gave a demo on doing the acrylic pours. The process is messy but the results are amazing!<br />
Finally came the book exchange in which seven of us participated and the books were all amazing. We are blessed with a wonderful and talented group! Sadly our photographer was too busy talking to take many pictures!<br />

Our September meeting was held on the 1st. The quote was: "The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls" by Pablo Picasso.<br />
We are all saddened by the passing of one of our members Lauren Matacio on July 30. She was a lovely and versatile woman.<br />

Our show and tell this month was small, I think everyone was anxious to get started on our make and take.Angela Michielutti brought a monogram she made as a gift for a friend. We had several books and a lovely piece of copperplate that Hannah Yoder did to be put in her coptic stitch book.<br />
Our Make and Take this month was presented by Laurie Heyden and we made coptic stitch books. A challenging book but made much easier with the use of a curved needle! Hannah Yoder came prepared with beautiful wooden covers for her book.<br />

Well that is a synopsis of meetings for the last 3 months.<br />

Lauren Matacio</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by Ginny VanderHey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
On July 30, 2018, our fellow calligrapher and artist, Lauren Matacio, lost her battle with pancreatic cancer that she was diagnosed with in December, 2017. I think I saw Lauren once at a meeting after her diagnosis. She looked pale and thinner, but was hanging in and trying to live her life. On Sunday,August 12,I picked up Anna and Renee in Granger and we drove to Berrien Springs and wound up on the campus of Andrews University and Pioneer Memorial Chapel, where Angie West joined us. There were lots of people at the service which was a testimonial to Lauren's life of which she accomplished so many things. She worked in the Andrews University Library for many years and was able to procure the MCG some room to have a book display several years ago. Lauren played the organ at church on Sunday mornings so when we had a workshop on a Sunday, Lauren would be late because she first had to honor her commitment to the church. We learned she was a teacher, played flute, enjoyed calligraphy but most of all she was a loving mother to Jamie and they shared a very close relationship. Many of her friends and family stood up to tell stories about her life and one that sticks out for me was her former husband who reminisced about the 12 years of their marriage and how much they loved so many of the same things especially their daughter. Some of the stories were sad and some funny,but they all led to a deeper understanding of Lauren and her life that we were only a small part of.Rest in Peace Lauren, we will miss you.</div>

Barbara Mann Workshop</h3>
<div>
Saturday,September 22 was a beautiful fall day outdoors, and a great day to spend learning Line Dancing from Barbara Mann. I don't have pictures to share because I was too busy absorbing information and trying out new methods-like warming up with blind contour drawing or using my non-dominant hand to draw. It was a stretching and humbling experience to find that I produced a better contour drawing with my non-dominant hand.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Barbara shared her time, tools and supplies generously with all. She spent one-on-one time going around the room giving custom instructions to each participant. I learned about her methods of adding color from one part of the piece into another (sometimes ver different) part of the piece to establish unity. Doing that makes even an unexpected color look right; for example, the black bird that I painted ended up taking form when shadows were enhanced with purple drawn from the purple mum behind him. Difficult to describe on paper, but Barbara's instruction brought it all together.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We learned to capture the essence of the object instead of religiously counting and trying to reproduce the exact number of petals on each blossom. This is a dance,not a rigid exercise. We were inspired as Barbara generously shared her journals, displaying her innovative ways of incorporating color charts and the creative ways she documented specific paints, papers, and other details. One of the most freeing tips that she shared was the idea that when you have a nice, fresh blank book or journal don't let it intimidate you. No one says you need to start on the first page and fill it with perfect pictures-flip to a page somewhere in the middle and just begin. If you follow her lead and record the date and other particulars, it clearly makes no difference how you work through a blank book - it's yours to use and play with.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The day left me feeling refreshed, inspired and grateful. I can't wait for her next class!</div>

POLICY FOR MCG</h3>
</div>
<div>
Our workshops seem to have people sign up then decide not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance, the birth of a child or grandchild, illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is filled, and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a refund. So please, if you want to sign up for the workshop, make sure that you put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: small;">Are you on Facebook? <span style="font-weight: normal;">If so, look up your favorite calligraphers because they are on facebook also. I like to look at Barbara Close, Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters, John Stevens, Rachel Yallop, Pendragons, Capital City Scribes, Yukimi Annand, etc. There are lots of beautiful calligraphy on these pages that will get you inspired. Also look at Joanne Fink and Barbara Lever's Facebook page. And then, there is always Pinterest. Oh my, so many places to be inspired!</span></span></h3>
<div>
<b>PO Box in South Bend - </b>Due to a lack of much mail at our Post Office box in South Bend, we have suspended any mail sent to that address. If you have anything to send to the MCG, please send to Laurie Heyden, 18292 Courtland Dr., South Bend, Indiana 46637 or Ginny VanderHey, 51854 Stoney Creek Dr., Elkhart, Indiana 46514. When monies are due for a workshop or dues, they will now go to one of these addresses.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>American Frame - </b>Just a reminder that if you order from American Frame. please mention MCG, and they will give us a small stipend.</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Annual Membership</b></span></div>
Annual dues of $15 are due at the July meeting. Our annual dues have not changed in many years and are put to good use for supplies for our make it/take it meetings, annual raffle in August and, at the end of the year, we give to local charities. Please remember to bring your dues to the July meeting or send to Laurie Heyden, our treasurer at 18292 Courtland Dr., South Bend,Indiana 46637<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">It has been such a busy couple of months, I may have to retire from my retirement ! How did I ever work fulltime?</span><br />

Can't say it is all work. I enjoy doing things and keeping busy. <br />

At the end of April I went to a workshop sponsored by the Pen Dragons of Kalamazoo featuring Amity Parks. Actually this was 2 workshops rolled into 1. The first 2 days we worked with graphite at the Parchment Library and the second 2 days we worked on collage and the beautiful home of Marijo Carney. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend that if anyone has a chance to go to a workshop with Amity Parks, GO! She is a wonderful teacher.<br />

At the end of May our own guild sponsored Yukimi Annand, this too was a great experience and we worked with the folded pen. I received an email from Jean Ketcham as follows: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"As a novice calligrapher I was honored to be included in last week's Folded Pen Workshop by acclaimed calligrapher Yukimi Annand. Yukimi's thoughtfully organized workshop walked us through the use of the folded pen with attention to detail with each individual project. She patiently guided us to create a project using her beautifully imaginative aesthetic style with the wide and thin lines that the folded pen can produce, and added color. She showed us how to make a book with our worksheets simply and beautifully bound with black paper.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I share the hope of the other workshop participants that we will have another opportunity to work with and be inspired by Yukimi Annand."</blockquote>
This email really struck me, as so many new calligraphers shy away from taking a workshop; maybe they are intimidated by the experience or knowledge of their fellow workshop members. Please don't be as this letter attests!<br />
<br />
<br />
Also I would like to thank Alicia Marquez for the wonderful photos she took. She was a visitor from the Chicago Guild and a welcome addition to our group. <br />
Here is a link<br />

Alicia you are welcome to join us anytime!<br />

Currently I am taking an online class in Gothicized Italic with Barry Morentz through Harvest Crittenden's Acorn Arts. I have taken several online classes through and with Harvest and they are always great. Keeping up with the assignments has been a challenge. There are the things you want to do and the things you should do and then the things that you do! It seems something always comes up to change any plans.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ginny VanderHey has written two articles for the blog this quarter and I want to thank her, she is a true asset to this guild, we could not survive without her! Love you Ginny!<br />

I first met Julie when I went to a Chicago Calligraphy Collective Exhibit Reception at the Newberry Library that some members of our guild attend every year (except this one because they were renovating). Julie had a piece she had entered and the lettering was very free and only had about 3 words on it, which they were in Italian, so my eye immediately honed in on that piece. It said "Nienta Sensa Gioia" or Nothing Without Joy. I love Italian words, and these are the exact same words that I did several years ago when we did a quote exchange. Mine is hanging in Anna Schlemma's home and makes me very proud when I see that she would elect to have it on her walls. So, after meeting Julie in Chicago, I asked if she taught classes and she said yes she did. She had only taught in the Chicago area at that time and we were the first group to ask to do a workshop outside of her area and outside of her state. So we talked about dates, did lots of emailing and decided when she would come to teach us. Since then she has done 2 workshops for us at the MCG which was well attended. She is a very giving person and wants you to learn all that she has to share. Also, she stayed at my home twice and now we have become great friends so I consider myself blessed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So on Wednesday morning, April 11, I drove to Angela's home in South Bend and we left from there to go to Julie's home in Illinois. It was almost 2 hours from Elkhart, but it was really a beautiful day and we only had one detour before finding her lovely home. The trip was made shorter by the good company Angela was and her being a good co-pilot. The first thing you notice when walking in the door is all the artwork that she has in her home and one wall were mostly originals from different instructors. Angela and I has to pick up our jaw that had fallen to the floor at that point.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next we went downstairs to Julie's studio which is a huge part of her basement with two huge tables. Julie showed us some of the things she had learned on her trip to France last year so we played with marks on different kinds of paper. Walnut ink on watercolor paper or gold on black paper was so lovely also. We also made some flowers with our automatic pens and got to try out a few new pens that we hadn't seen before like Brody Neuenschwander pen and the Dreambug pen. We liked the Brody but didn't have much success with the Dreambug, but it was certainly fun to try new writing implements.</div>

We really didn't have enough time together because of the time difference and the long ride back home, but we are hoping to have another get together in the near future and either we will go to Julie's again, or she will make the drive here. I couldn't wait to come home and make cards out of some of the marks I made. We really did have a wonderful few precious hours together just having an "art play day" with three friends.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">FOLDED PEN WORKSHOP WITH YUKIMI ANNAND</span></h3>
<div align="left">
My initial contact with Yukimi Annand began almost two years ago when I saw her work on Pinterest and loved it! I emailed Yukimi for a proposal for a workshop in South Bend and she emailed me with future dates that were available and all the particulars that go along with it. The MCG Board decided on May 22 and 23, 2018 and I had to be patient knowing that time would pass quickly enough and she would be here to teach Folded Pen Letters. Also, she taught Text and Texture in Chicago on May 19 and 20 so we were able to share the cost of bringing her to South Bend with the Chicago Calligraphy Collective whose workshop sold out in 9 minutes! Our workshop was sold out in two days and we had a waiting list. Finally on Monday, May 21, Pat West and I drove to the SB Airport where Yukimi was coming in on the train, or so we thought. Turns out the train only went to Carroll Street that week, so they put her on a bus for the rest of the way to South Bend. Thank Goodness for cell phones so that she could text us and let us know that she was let off at the train station end of the airport and not at the bus station. So Pat and I traipsed over to the other end and found her outside. Also Thank Goodness for Facebook so that I knew what she looked like. We took her back to Pat's house where she stayed for three nights and made a wonderful dinner of quiche, salad, fruit and muffins together in Pat's dining room. Yukimi spent some time outside in Pat's beautiful yard taking pictures of the beautiful foliage and fauna.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
After coming back home, two of my dear calligraphy friends, Tina Cronkite and Linda Bravada, arrived in Elkhart to stay with my husband and I for two nights. They are both delightful company and we shared lots of talk about books and calligraphy. On Tuesday morning we left the house at 8 am and headed to Battlell Center in Mishawaka where they had a great room for us to have a workshop. Eighteen of us gathered, two to a table, to start our Yukimi Folded Pen journey. Yukimi had some folded pens listed on her supply list, but I wanted to try them before I purchased one. Yukimi had some Horizon folded nibs for sale and I have been using that one during class and here at home to practice.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
We worked on Strathmore 300 series Charcoal Paper which was very smooth and also used pencils and then sumi ink to start making marks and then letters. We were given many pages of handouts to work with and many styles of "A's" so that we could come up with a lettering style all our own. The MCG provided a piece of Arches and two pieces of Ingres that were lovely to work on also. Yukimi was very patient and spent time with each and every one of us at our seats to help "see" how the letters need to weave in together. We all had a quote to work on that we brought with us and I am so glad that mine was not a long one! The second day we worked on doing a final piece or working towards a final piece. We then mixed some FW Acrylic colors to make a trio of hues to write and loved the look of the letters with color. Yukimi also did many demonstrations to help us achieve success in working with our letters and pens. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Pat, Angie and I have now ordered a "Tim's Pen" from Tim Leigh in Portland, Oregon. John Neal was out of the ones we wanted (I think Anna bought the last one!) so we went to the source. He is in the process of making 200 pens for the calligraphy conference in Seattle this year, so ours may take a few weeks to get here. In the meantime, we will practice with what we have which is the Horizon Folded Nib which has been working pretty well also.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
I loved Yukimi and her work. She is a very soft-spoken person so everyone has to be very quiet to hear her. My ears don't work as well as they used to, so it was hard to hear her all she had to tell us. But, all went well and we did as she directed. I am hoping that in the future, we can learn under Yukimi's tutieledge possibly in Kalamazoo. Our participants consisted of 8 MCG members, also one from Wisconsin, one from Chicago, one from Valpo, one from Fishers, one from Lansing, one from Grand Rapids, 2 from Kalamazoo, one for Alto, Michigan and one from Richland, Michigan. So, as you can see, many have been waiting for Yukimi Annand to come to this area. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Thanks to everyone who pitched in to set up, clean up, order supplies, bring snacks to share, make coffee and to Alicia Marquez who took many wonderful pictures that Yukimi has shared on her Facebook and Instagram page. <a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/pYBjjgJDp7gW7N8U9">https://photos.app.goo.gl/pYBjjgJDp7gW7N8U9</a></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">POLICY FOR MCG</span></span></h3>
<span id="goog_1377115182">
</span>
<div align="left">
<span id="goog_1377115182">Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of a workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance, the birth of a child or grandchild, illness, etc., then the boards will take this under advisement to decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is filled and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a refund. So please, if you want to sign up for the workshop, make sure that you put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">It’s been a
long winter, and does not show any sign of giving up soon! For many of us we
use those long dark days creatively. I think this helps us maintain our sanity,
at least this works for me. I spent the last 2 months working on book kits for
my March demo of a “Shrigley-like” book. I say “Shrigley-like” because my cover
is different, a bit easier I think. It can be very frustrating trying to come
up with understandable instructions. With the offer of assistance from Ginny
VanderHey I worked out a fair set and still found that I had left out the
sewing method for putting the book together which was a pamphlet stitch! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

meeting Sharon Esmont gave a very interesting talk on the St. Johns Bible using
her own extensive collection of reproduction books. Angie West, Marty Mitchell,
Barbara Walsh all had wonderful show and tell.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

spent on multiple projects; I have a membership to “Skillshare” where there are
many classes available in a variety of areas. Recently I took a class with
Tiffany Lovering on making Mandalas. Great fun, next step is to color them. I
also took a class in January through Acorn Arts (Harvest Crittenden’s site),
with Michael Ward call “Signature Design”. This class taught the enhancement of
Spenserian script to be used on signatures. Wonderful class. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I think we are
all looking forward to our upcoming workshop with Yukimi Annand on Tuesday May
22 and Wednesday May 23 at the Battell Center in Mishawaka. It is an honor to
have her join us. This workshop sold out very quickly, clear evidence of the
caliber of this artist. I have already begun to gather my supplies. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

forward to Heather Held next year she is also a wonderful artist and that
workshop will probably fill quickly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Finally made it
to our winter home in Florida after a delay due to flu and “almost” bronchitis.
Fever and body aches were the worst part as well as coughing for another
month.The weather hasn’t been the warmest we’ve ever encountered, but the sun
shines most days and we can still do to sit on the beach and watch the dolphins
swim by, the pelicans diving for fish and putting our feet in the sand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Today (January)
I went to quilt club on Sanibel Island where we attend church. There is a
lovely group of ladies who make quilts not only for themselves, but make prayer
quilts for anyone who has been hospitalized or ill or for new babies. I find
myself comparing this group to my dear friends in MCG. They are very giving of
themselves and go out of their way to help you and are very welcoming. I
immediately felt comfortable being in their midst. They have a Christmas party
and exchange every year and they love to eat! I have been blessed to be able to
be a part of two wonderful groups of ladies who are passionate about what they
do for themselves and for their community. Everyone is making a tote bag for
the visiting missionaries. I really don’t have the time to quilt a tote bag, so
I wrote on mine with acrylics and like the way it turned out. Used my Eliza
Holliday letters on it with a flat brush using two different blues. When I
brought it to the quilt club last week, it was well received and many wanted to
know if I had stenciled it or how I did it. So I am giving interest in
calligraphy far and wide.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I also went to
a big quilt show in Ft. Myers, Florida and spent half the day at the show, then
lunch and then two more quilt stores. I sat in on a demo for zentangles on
fabric which reminded me of Renee and her many zentangles. What a great day I
had with the quilting ladies, but happy to be back in Elkhart seeing what I
have been missing in the Calligraphy world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the workshop if someone

this policy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There will be a nominal fee
if you drop out of the workshop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If there
would be an emergency, for instance, a birth of a child or grandchild, illness,
etc., then the board will take this under advisement to decide on a course of
action regarding a refund.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, if the
workshop is filled and there is someone to take your place, that would also
quality for a refund. So please, if you want to sign up for the workshop, make
sure that you put that date on your calendar as a commitment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have a small calligraphy group and we
struggle to fill workshops at times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We

COMMENTS FROM OUR CHAIRPERSON<br />
<br /><br />
It is November and if you live in the Midwest, you will find that we go from summer and shorts one day to wearing winter coats and gloves the next. There is no transition period! My hands and lips are dry the heat being on and going out into the cold. I just cut down all my tomatoes to be mulched behind the house and luckily there are still a few to eat now and some that are green and will ripen in a few days. I am not a winter person at all!<br />
<br /><br />
Thanks to Sharon Esmont for demonstrating Celtic knots in October. I was not able to be there, but instead spent three days at Fernwood with Jacqueline Gnott and learning watercolor techniques along with Pat West and Maureen Trubac. It was a beautiful three days and hopefully I can keep working on my watercolors as well as calligraphy, sewing, making books, etc. What did I do when I worked every day till 4 pm!<br />
<br /><br />
November 4 was the last MCG meeting that Sharon Esmont and I presided over. Renee Tuveson will begin her journey as President and Marty Mitchell will be Vice President for the coming year or two, or whatever they wish to do. Sharon and I have held our positions for at least 15 years or more and it was time to hand over the reins. I will be in Florida from November till February so I won't be here to conduct meetings. This does not mean that I won't be a part of the guild, but just that I won't be here for a few months every year. Anna Schlemma and I will be workshop chairpersons for now since we have Yukimi Annand, Barbara Mann and Heather Held in the wings for future workshops. I know that Renee and Marty will continue to keep the guild growing.<br />
<br /><br />
The MCG Board held a meeting in November and Marty suggested a Year of the Handmade Book. At our November meeting we had several people volunteer to demonstrate handmade books at our monthly meetings. Renee will be doing a Spotlight (a la Kalamazoo) with her book she did for the august 2017 exchange. We will have our regular meeting and then pack a lunch and make a book in the afternoon. Angie West has volunteered to do another Spotlight in June. More information about this will be forthcoming in other emails. <br />
<br /><br />
Also at our November meeting, we held a Calligraflea so members could either sell their treasures that are no longer used or could give away free anything they just didn't have use for anymore. Maureen Trubac brought a suitcase full of books and lots of them were scooped up. <br />
<br /><br />
We've had a great year of demonstrations and hopefully that will continue throughout the future meetings. That old saying "It Takes A Village" rings true even with calligraphy guilds. Without everyone working together all year, we wouldn't have the marvelous cohesiveness that we have had for many years. Let's continue to keep the Michiana Calligraphy Group strong by continuing to promote the beautiful art of Calligraphy.<br />
<br /><br />
Thanks again everyone for your love and support and I look forward to seeing everyone again in March.<br />

<strong>Deep breath and on to 2018!</strong><br />
<br /><br />
My deep thanks to Ginny VanderHey and Sharon Esmont for their years of hard work as President and Vice President of MCG. <br />
<br /><br />
I cannot begin to imagine what it is like to guide our guild into becoming a strong and more well known entity in our community. As Ginny said earlier in this post, "It Takes A Village". We all need to pitch in and give a hand. Work toward encouraging our fellow artisans in all of their endeavors . There are so many things going on out there and nothing is more discouraging then finding out something wonderful happened last week that we would have loved to be a part of. I am asking all of you, if you hear of a show, class,event, etc. send a message to me or any of our board members and we will make sure the news gets out. <br />
<br /><br />
In my calligraphic life I have been taking classes through Acornarts. Harvest Crittenden has added some artists to her studio and I have taken 2 classes with F. Phyllis Macaluso using the wedge brush that most of us have worked with before. Also a class with Bailey Amon Rivera who taught "Script Design from Traditional to Modern". Starting January 3 I will be taking a class with Michael Ward in Spencerian Design. All have been 4 week classes with a lot of handouts and great instruction. I have enjoyed them very much and encourage everyone to look into the classed available at Acornarts.<br />
<br /><br />
Requesting that everyone think about submitting an article for the blog. It can be about a certain artist that you enjoy, a technique, a teacher, a fellow member or even yourself! I expect to be flooded with articles!<br />

<h3>
September Meeting</h3>
Our September meeting was all about Zentangle which Renee Tuveson guided us through some beauties. Renee has been doing a Zentangle a day as often as she can and printed out some new ones for us to try. It was enjoyable to see our shapes come to life with some micron pen strokes. Thanks Renee for showing us some new Zentangles that we can try and the websites so that we can continue to experiment.<br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">UPCOMING WORKSHOPS:</span></h3>
Future Workshops - It seems that instructors are booking their workshops way, way out in the future and we have secured two really good calligraphers for our future workshops. Please mark your calendars for May 22 and 23, 2018 (a Tuesday and Wednesday) when <strong>Yukimi Annand</strong> will be in South Bend for a workshop for the MCG and also<strong> Heather Victoria Held</strong> for the weekend of April 6, 2019. Both of these ladies are booked solid and these were their first available dates. Save the dates and save your pennies because these workshops will cost a bit more since we have to fly them from Canada and California. Luckily for us, we will piggy back onto the Chicago Guild's dates for Yukimi Annand so we won't have to pay the whole airline fee. Another guild will be looking at Heather Held's dates to see if they can piggy back onto ours and we can share that cost. I have said many times that we try to keep our fees as low as possible, but when an instructor comes from a distance away, they charge us more for travel and baggage and we pass that on to you. You won't want to miss either of these workshops!<br />

<span style="color: red;"><strong>POLICY FOR MCG</strong></span></div>
Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide not to attend. We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the workshop if someone decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going to have a change in this policy. There will be a nominal fee if you drop out of the workshop. If there would be an emergency, for instance, a birth of a child or grandchild, illness, etc, then the board will take this under advisement to decide on a course of action regarding a refund. Also, if the workshop is filled and there is someone to take your place, that would also qualify for a refund. So please, if you want to sign up for a workshop, make sure that you put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy group and we struggle to fill workshops at times. We need all of you to attend as many as possible so that we can continue to have quality instructors. <br />
<br /><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><strong>Are you on Facebook? </strong><span style="color: black;">If so, look up your favorite calligraphers because they are on Facebook also. I like to look at Barbara Close, Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters, John Stevens, Rachel Yallop, Pendragons, Capital City Scribes, Yukimi Annand, etc.. There is a lot of beautiful calligraphy on these pages that will get you inspired. Also look at Joanne Fink and Barbara Lever's Facebook page, and then, there is always Pinterest. Oh my, so many places to be inspired!</span></span><br />
<br /><br />
<strong>PO BOX in SOUTH BEND </strong>- Due to lack of much mail at our Post Office box in South Bend, we have suspended any mail sent to that address. If you have anything to send to the MCG, please send to Laurie Heyden, 18292 Courtland Drive, South Bend, IN 46637 or Renee Tuveson, 928 Finch Drive, South Bend, IN 46614. When monies are due for a workshop dues, they will now go to one of these addresses. <br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Summer comes
and summer goes all too quickly. I hope
everyone had some creative time to write, paint, make books, etc. Again this
year, my daughter from Texas comes to Elkhart with my 7 year-old grandson for 5
weeks. There isn’t a lot of time to
make some beautiful letters, but somehow we were able to get some creative
juices flowing. My grandson and I made
two books so that he could draw some Legos or Minecraft figures in them. Pat West spent a couple of days with her
granddaughter painting and making jewelry for the Fair in Michigan. Passing on the things we like to do to
family or friends is so enjoyable when we see them smiling at their
accomplishments.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">For our July
meeting, Pat West and I demonstrated nature printing. Everyone brought such different leaves to paint and print
with. We learned this technique up at
Lake Louise last October and it has become such an enhancement to our
artwork. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Also at our
July meeting, Sharon Esmont, Co-Chairperson and I, Chairperson, announced that
we would be resigning as of the November meeting. Many of you know that my husband and I have a home in Ft. Myers,
Florida (which made it through the hurricane with flying colors) and will be
spending more time there. This year we
will be leaving in November and not back to Elkhart for a few months, so it is
time for someone else to take over the reins of MCG. Sharon and Jo McPherson will be looking for new officers, so
please consider being a leader for a year or two. Sharon and I have coordinated the meetings and workshops for at
least the past 15 years so I am sure that you would love to have some new blood
take over. It has been a pleasure to be
with friends every month and to share what artsy thing we are all working on as
well as all the demonstrations in which we learned something new every
meeting. Anna Schlemma and I will continue
to coordinate the workshops with approval of the board. After <b>Yukimi Annand 2018</b> and <b>Heather Held in
2019</b>, it will be time to coordinate a new instructor to lead us to new and
exciting art techniques. We are also
working with <b>Barbara Mann on a date for 2018.

favorite meetings of the year is the annual picnic at my home. Again this year, we were able to enjoy
sitting in the screened porch with the gentle breezes blowing in and keeping us
cool for the day. First we had a
meeting reminding everyone of what is going on for the rest of the year, and
then we had a raffle for the Jacqueline Sullivan workshop in September, which
Lauren Matacio won. Diana Stamper has
downsized and moved out of her home and had lots of goodies to raffle off to
all of us. Lastly, we exchanged our
handmade books which were spectacular this year. I think that everyone is stepping up their game and creating
beautiful pieces of art. Next, we were
ready to eat! We missed Sharon Esmont’s fruit salad because she was home with
strep throat and Jo McPherson’s pear salad because she was not able to join us,
but the food choices were wonderful.
Pat West made her “famous” hot chicken salad to start us off; Marty made
one of our favorite desserts, the lemon curd cake, Linda Bigger made wonderful
black pepper bread, etc. We loved it
all! Thanks everyone for again making
this year’s picnic a success. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Our September
meeting was all about Zentangles which Renee Tuveson guided us through some
beauties. Renee has been doing a
Zentangle a day as often as she can and printed out some new ones for us to
try. It was enjoyable to see our shapes come to life with some micron pen
strokes. Thanks Renee for showing us
some new Zentangles that we can try and the websites so that we can continue to
experiment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">We’ve had a
great year of demonstrations and hopefully that will continue throughout the
future meetings. That old saying “It
Takes A Village” rings true even with calligraphy guilds. Without everyone working together all year,
we wouldn’t have the marvelous cohesiveness that we have had for many
years. Let’s continue to keep the
Michiana Calligraphy Group strong by continuing to promote the beautiful art of
Calligraphy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-weight: normal;">Future
Workshops - It seems that instructors are booking their workshops way, way out
in the future and we have secured two really good calligraphers for our future
workshops. Please mark your calendars
for May 22 and 23, 2018 (a Tuesday and Wednesday) when </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yukimi Annand</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-weight: normal;"> will be
in South Bend for a workshop for the MCG and also </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Heather Victoria Held</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-weight: normal;"> for the
weekend of April 6, 2019. Both of these
ladies are booked solid and these were their first available dates. Save the dates and save your pennies because
these workshops will cost a bit more since we have to fly them here from Canada
and California. Luckily for us, we will
piggy back onto the Chicago Guild’s dates for Yukimi Annand so we won’t have to
pay the whole airline fee. Another
guild will be looking at Heather Held’s dates to see if they can piggy back
onto ours and we can again share that cost.
I have said many times that we try to keep our fees as low as possible,
but when an instructor comes from a distance away, they charge us more for
travel and baggage and we pass that on to you.
You won’t want to miss either of these workshops!<o:p></o:p></span></strong></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: purple; font-weight: bold;"> Jacqueline Sullivan by Ginny VanderHey</span></span></div>
<div style="border: none; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; mso-border-alt: dotted #CDBD9C .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt 15.0pt; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The Michiana Calligraphy Guild has had Jacqueline Sullivan guide is in workshops several times in the past and each one gets better and better. On September 30 and October 1, Jacqueline was again with the MCG for a "Luscious Layering" workshop at Whispering Pines Community Room in Mishawaka. Jacqueline is a very knowledgeable Golden Products expert and knows her products well including how there is a swath of color over black, hand painted, on the front of each container of paint, so that you know how transparent the color you have chosen will be.</span></div>
<div style="border: none; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; mso-border-alt: dotted #CDBD9C .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt 15.0pt; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The first day of the workshop was spent stenciling absorbent ground on Strathmore 140# watercolor paper. then painting it with Golden Acrylics mixed with a bit of water and Golden Matte Medium. If there was too much paint, a spray of clear water would move the paint around. We also sprinkled silver or gold powder and scraped pastels onto the wet spots as well as putting cheesecloth and clear plastic wrap on top of juicy spots to texture the paper.</span></div>
<div style="border: none; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; mso-border-alt: dotted #CDBD9C .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt 15.0pt; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Day two we cut our large sheet of Strathmore into thirds to make into a book. The hard part is deciding which page to use as a cover and which ones to use for the inside pages. We also enhanced our pages with colored pencils, collages, ribbon, high flow acrylics, etc. working toward the end product of a finished book.</span></div>
<div style="border: none; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; mso-border-alt: dotted #CDBD9C .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt 15.0pt; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The second day was close to being over and we had little time to write inside our books, but, after we are back home and in the quiet of our studio, we can find quotes we want to pit into our books to have a completed project.</span></div>
<div style="border: none; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; mso-border-alt: dotted #CDBD9C .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt 15.0pt; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The weekend went by so quickly because there was so much to learn and do. Jacqueline gave each of us a folder with lots of information about what we were doing. Each of us came home with a treasure and a masterpiece of work we spent two days creating. Now I have to get back to real life, including a three-day watercolor workshop at Fernwood in Michigan, before I take out my book and start to write in it again. Thank you Jacqueline for leading us through a wonderful weekend learning and creating. I LOVED this workshop!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt;">Our workshops seem to have people sign up and then decide not to attend.
We have been very generous in returning monies paid for the workshop if someone
decides not to attend at the last minute, but we are going to have a change in
this policy. There will be a nominal
fee if you drop out of the workshop. If
there would be an emergency, for instance, a birth of a child or grandchild,
illness, etc., then the board will take this under advisement to decide on a course
of action regarding a refund. Also, if
the workshop is filled and there is someone to take your place, that would also
quality for a refund. So please, if you want to sign up for the workshop, make
sure that you put that date on your calendar as a commitment. We have a small calligraphy group and we
struggle to fill workshops at times. We
need all of you to attend as many as possible so that we can continue to have
quality instructors. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt;">Are you on Facebook? </span></b><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10pt;">If so, look up your favorite calligraphers because they are on Facebook
also. I like to look at Barbara Close,
Reggie Ezell, Julian Waters, John Stevens, Rachel Yallop, Pendragons, Capital
City Scribes, Yukimi Annand, etc. There
is a lot of beautiful calligraphy on these pages that will get your
inspired. Also look at Joanne Fink and
Barbara Lever’s Facebook Page. And
then, there is always Pinterest. Oh my,
so many places to be inspired!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
