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.
