Welcome & Announcements:

**We welcomed Cheryl Carey’s friend, Kate Bryant, and Anne Dyer’s friend, Judy Ashton to the meeting.

**Candy had her decorated bag on hand to collect any monies towards our retreat this fall.  

**Candy also brought her membership card from 1997 attached to an announcement for a workshop given by Michael Sull.

**Mary Rhodas was the only one who did a panagram/abecedarian! 

**Candy handed out a playing card to each of us with the challenge to create an Artistic Trading Card to bring next month.

**Mary announced she put some freebies from the library on the back table.  What doesn’t get taken will be donated.

Show & Share:

**Cecelia had several things to share: a piece from her collage class and a black and white piece on Kozo paper, along with a Uncial piece in blue ink, and 3 brush lettering pieces!  

**Lonnie showed us what she added to her meeting folder, and quarters of Arches Text wove she printed to look like the paste paper originals.  She spray-coated each one to prevent them from buckling with watercolors.

**Tom had a page of Proverbs done in Foundational.

**Cheryl showed off an illuminated double-page she did in her Mahara journal for Randy Hasson's on-line "Layered Journal" class.

 

 

Evening Presentation:

**Lonnie had several samples to show us on the overhead of names she’d written as practice work in the past.  She letters client’s names on envelopes for open house invitations, knowing people will take note of anything artistic and hand done. She asked us to write one word four times, and began to embellish each one in a different manner using a .01 black micron to add a shadow line and flourishes.  She added layers of color pencil to one, and showed us how to make the name pop by adding a straight black line underneath or a wavy line(s) through the middle of the name.  She likes using Wink of Stella markers and says one marker lasts about 200 envelopes!

**Lonnie let us choose a quarter sheet of printed Text Wove for tonight’s finished piece.
