Show & Share:

**Tom has kept up with his quote a day, 164 of them to this point, and has filled 66 pages in his notebook!

**Sherry brought some pretty pink and black marbled paper and made a book mark to show the paper can be lettered on.

**Candy covered a ready-made journal to create a marbled Junk Journal.

**Cecelia brough several examples of pieces she’s been working on in Brody’s on-line classes, one on collage and the other on the Magic of Kozo, using Japanese rice paper.  

 

Evening Presentation:

**TJ gave a short history on Neuland, reminded folks how to hold the pen for maximum success, and had 3 handouts of examples as well as Randy Hasson’s exemplar.  She made her way through the entire alphabet explaining how to flip the pen over to flare the edges, fill in anything we’d like to clean up.  There is a certain rhythm that eventually comes with making these fun and chunky letters!
