Tip of the Iceberg


So many things I want to do, friends to spend an hour or so with, so many ways to express art. One winter I spent all my free time teaching myself calligraphy, the old English type, now in looking at other writing styles I like some of the other forms of calligraphy better for what I want. Making things come out the way I want them to, there's so much to do yet, so much to explore just in my own backyard. People I meet ask me, "Now that you're retired, don't you get bored?" Oh, my gosh, no, I've only just begun.

I had a calligraphy class in high school and LOVED it. I love that you are always trying and learning new things Diane!

Amen to that, Diane. I never get bored either... The day runs out before I'm finished going through my list!!! ha

That's neat that you know how to do calligraphy.. I could never do that--but I love seeing people that can do it!!!! When we gave Bibles to our 6th graders in the church where I worked in Texas, we had a lady who could do calligraphy. SO---we had her put their names and the date in the new Bibles. SO pretty!!!!

Hugs,
Betsy
