Website & ALaW

I am working on rebuilding my website with the help of Claes ... thank you Claes!

After much ado about many things the back light in my camera of one year old ... just out of warranty of course ... has decided to go on the blink. The camera is still working but the back light picture viewer is fuzzy and not clear at all. As a new camera is out of the question right now what I have managed to do is to still take some photos, upload the results and pick the few which work. I have been keen to get some images of my ALaW up to the ALaW blogspot for the past couple of weeks. The results are not excellent but still give an idea of my second project.

These will be bound eventually after I complete the series and revisit it to make it work as a whole. I am also working on a broadsheet at the same time to see which one I prefer.

Enjoy!

A note from me

... my youngest daughter Ellen (26) has broken her hip. She has a new prosthetic and is doing well. I am in Canberra just to help out with some mothering for a couple of days. Back in Hobart soon.

I have a couple of small commissions to sink my hands into when I get home which I am excited about and really looking forward too.

Watch this space ...

Enjoy a couple more of the Loveletter images.

I decided to create a few more loveletters for sale so I went through all my papers I created as demonstration pieces for the course "Colour, Collage & Calligraphy". As I end up with so many background samples I may as well put them to good use.

In preparation for the upcoming winter school in the Southern Highlands of NSW here are a few of the Loveletters I will have for sale at Sturt. Over the five days we will be covering three pointed pen styles. The traditional copperplate, an upright copperplate which is a variation on the traditional copperplate that I created for a University of Canberra commission and a rendition of one of Mike Kesegg's contemporary pointed pen styles.

I hope you enjoy these!

A couple of pics.

I am off to Wellington New Zealand tomorrow for a Colour, Collage & Calligraphy workshop. I have packed the large suitcase with supplies and the small overnighter with my clothes! :-)

Hopefully when I return I'll have time to attend to this the most neglected of blogs and let you know how the long haul of "setting-up home" is going.

Here I am ... I have come out from under the boxes ... air at last!

Enjoy this little snippet:

A2Z

Hobart, Tasmania

I have arrived in beautiful Hobart and am up to my ears in boxes, cardboard, bubble wrap and paper. I'll get back to you all soon with photos of our travels, our new home and adventure stories of the "high Bass Strait seas" ... actually it was smooth sailing all up.
