What fun we had presenting forms of letters that we make with our minds...It was packed with over 50 people who came to hear us and do a little make and take of stamped letters. This was in August 2025.

Gabriella Soba and Gaudi
Gabriella, who lives in Barcelona, brought to us her Gaudi influence. We studied his forms and broken tiles. For two days we investigated how to use them in our pieces and make our own letterforms with his influence. Here are my pieces;
Weaving words with Marina Soria
This was the second time I had her workshop. She changed it a bit and it was good. From a cloth to making letterforms and words. These were my solutions from a print found at a fabric store..see center and my letterforms at top and my words on either side.

Embroidery challenge
Lisbeth Degn has an online embroidery challenge called Dogma Broderi. I joined at the beginning of the year and look forward to it weekly. Here are a few that I have done following her rules and challenge. After we finish, we are to make a book or a box to hold them. I am making a cover for a book of them. There will be 27 pages with embroideries on both sides.
CHERRIO
September 2025 I fulfilled a bucket list to join 18 wonderful participants at Cheerio. Coordinated by Joyce and Jim Teta, John Stevens taught a fantastic workshop. I can't believe how much he passed on to us. So much to learn, so little time. We were so fortunate to get an exhibit of John's originals too. We had two exhibits..John's and Manny Murillo's many Cheerio pieces he does every time he attends. Manny produced a book of them and many of us bought it. How lucky were we?
The group
We each had to demo our folios of work we did in class. I did 7 and this is one. Someone
made me laugh because I wasn't holding the folios correctly or too fast for everyone to see!
Workshop with Suzanne Moore
The 2025 Summer Workshop with Friends of Calligraphy had Suzanne Moore.
SPEAKING TO THE EYES; EXPLORING WRITING AS IMAGE
An amazing artist and friend. How fortunate to get to learn so much from her.
Lucky to also have some of her saved papers to use for book covers and pages.
Here is some work that I was able to do.

TAPESTRY
I also made a book, using pages that I did not really like to learn the techniques Suzanne was teaching.
