Scribbled Lives 2024 - Wk 19 - Brush Play - Pentel Brush Color Chart

I spied one of my color brush pens in my stash... and then went searching for the rest of them...

Since I was in a quandary of what to use/do for this week's challenge I went with creating a sampler. I notice I had put a sticker on one of them from 2015, and that was for the refill. Yup - I've had these pens for a loooong time and they still work. WOW. 

As per my database of art supplies, I started buying them in 2006 and I seem to be missing 7 colors from this chart... I'll have to search for them. I'm missing purple, yellow orange, pale orange, green, blue, steel blue, brown,

Seniors Xmas Cards 2020

 

 

The BVCG usually makes cards for seniors during our annual Xmas party... you guess it - that's shot to smithereens this year... so we were asked to create them at home and then someone would collect them.

I was creating all day yesterday and managed to finish 11 cards - but I wanted an even dozen, so got up this morning and finished the last one. The the rest of the day in photographing and uploading to my website and now my blog. Pheww - I think that was a marathon...

ECS Envelope Exchange 2020

I love decorating envelopes, so I join a few. Since joining the Edmonton Calligraphy Society (ECS) I've been in their envelope exchange since August. 

Since taking a ZOOM class with Julie Wildman "Holiday Cards" I used a couple of the techniques or lettering styles I picked up from the class.

These are a couple I did for the November mailing. Click on any image to see more details and more envies starting from August. Enjoy

BVCG Sept Lettering Challenge Day 13 and14

Does it drive you crazy to read the word up and down rather than left to right? Every time I look at it I go aaarg!!

The Novel Corona Virus piece is a little unlegible (illegible is the more common word, but I like the other one better...), but I'm not unhappy with it.
