Lynda's Lines from the President’s pen…

We are nearly two months into 2017. Did anyone make a resolution to practice daily? Is anyone practicing daily? If you are, be sure to share with the rest of us the method to your madness (I need some help!) Our January meeting, exchanging cards, was lots of fun and I believe everyone enjoyed sharing hints and tips with everyone else. The cards were gorgeous and I think interesting for our guests to understand our thought processes. Thank you to everyone who participated, and all those who were at the meeting.

Our February meeting will be a “hands on” activity that is very simple but has impressive results. Leslie Wade will lead us in monoline letters with color added. Everyone who attends will take home something to show for the evening and boatloads of inspiration. Continue reading the Calligram for supplies to bring and samples of what we will do.

We are planning an “in house,” one-day workshop in April on bookbinding. Look through the Calligram for more information, as this plans to be a fun opportunity to learn something new or review what you already know.

As always, if you have worked on anything, whether completed or not, bring it to the meeting to share with everyone. I know I always enjoy looking at original artwork. Until the fourth Monday in February –

…Lynda

Pam Neumann will be teaching Beginning Copperplate at Tulsa Arts Center 4 week series beginning March 14 6:30 – 8:30pm Contact Pam (918 706-7669) or Tulsa Arts Center for more information.
