Summer,summer,summertime!

I fell off on my blog...again! I know, but work with me. I worked with Kristen Knight of Shenanigans on this little table...

 

As well as working with Marion Marshall of AbsolutelyBlooming! and Oil and Cotton. In fact, I have a class there tomorrow night at 6:30p...Pen & Ink Calligraphy. Don't miss it...if you do, I have another Intro to Calligraphy class at Oil and Cotton On July 19 at 6:30p!   

Hot, hot, hot...

Spring has been lettering filled and event abundant. I have been working with Kristen Knight of Shenanigans on signage for a wedding...

as well as working with Marion Marshall of AbsolutelyBlooming! 

I taught a Cursive Envelopes class at Oil & Cotton this past Friday...

and got to hang out with two of my favorite people and artists, Brian Jones and Brian Scott (a.k.a.Chuck & George) while they had a busy weekend of art exhibitions (their show at the Conduit was extended-yay!)...

I will blog again soon...Pen and Ink workshop coming up June  21at Oil & Cotton.

Social, wedding, and graduation season kicks off!

I have been swamped...busy working with Absolutely Blooming and the Dallas Contemporary; as well as the Book Doctor, who was featured in the New York Times this past Saturday.

The Dallas International Film Festival will be opening this weekend on April 6, as well as an exhibition featuring two of my favorite artists, Brian Jones and Brian Scott, a.k.a Chuck and George, at the Conduit Gallery.  I will be volunteering at the Dallas International Film Festival this week and next week, so maybe I will see some of you there. 

The Dallas Art Fair, Dallas International Film Festival, and a multitude of art openings will be happening next weekend...April 12-14.  I also will have an Intro to Calligraphy class April 12 at 6:30p at Oil and Cotton.  It is the perfect time to learn to address envelopes neatly.  The graduation, wedding, and social season is kicking off and it is time to get those invites out!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Chinese New Year was this past Sunday, so Happy Chinese New Year!

I enjoyed hearing Amy Hofland, Director of the Crow Collection, on Think this morning talking about an upcoming photography exhibition, China Through the Lens of John Thomson.   I hope y'all did, too.

Anyway, I have teamed up with the Crow Collection in a small way.  The Crow Collection will be having a year of the snake celebration during the Crow Collection After Dark event from 6p-12a this Friday, February 15th, and my Year of the Snake calendars with be a part of the festivities. 

Hope to see you Friday night!
