off on Another Adventure!

It's interesting when students don't arrive for a class, or arrive at the wrong time, or simply don't listen and arrive when they shouldn't. It is never their fault and always yours - but of course they become angry, irritated and quite frankly I can no longer take responsibility for someone else's error!

Fortunately this doesn't happen too often and when it does, I simply counter it with humour and of course a tongue in cheek.

I look forward to another adventure - where people are different, situations are interesting and there is a whole new aspect to calligraphy!

Back home for a few weeks.

Trying to keep classes running and stimulating on a stop-start basis is really challenging. However the group was left with the brief to complete a 'creative book' using various calligraphic fonts, Canson papers and collage.

This is always exciting as no-one book is ever the same and creative journalling offers wide scope of materials, pens and colours.

I like to look at the colours presented in nature - the plains of the Mara suggest lime to khaki green, the ocean in Zanzibar is turquoise and azure dotted with the white sand and cream shells.

Nature shows its own canvas entirely.
