I have recently participated in an International Art Exchange and was so happily surprised to find this today in my mailbox! Wow, I am just blown away at the talented Ms. Martha's beautiful lettering. Look at it..isn't it just lovely?! As you may know, I am an AVID lover of letters. I have been a member of Pacific Scribes and Friends of Calligraphy, here in the Bay Area for many years, and have just marvelled at the beauty of letters. I hope you can take time to investigate Martha's site (check out her beautiful work at reddoorartstudio.com; marthalever.etsy.com; and marthalever.blogspot.com), as well as Lisa Holtzman's site...Lisa is a new blog friend who I feel has exquisite letters.
Congratsssss!

I went to Martha's blog after seeing her painting. Wow, I can't wait to learn lettering from her blog. Thank you for sharing her blog address with us.

Wow. That is absolutely beautiful. It must be so fulfilling to have someone to acknowledge the great work you do in such a beautiful manner. Your work is deserving of all acollades and I count myself privileged to call you friend and comrade.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day, my dear.
Yay! What beautiful work! I've also started receiving wonderful artwork and will do a post on my blog, acknowledging everyone. I want to take a picture of everything, but it's dark when I get home and I was hoping for some natural light. I got a fantastic piece from Lisa Holtzman, you're right, i fell over with joy! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! Lucky you! I love calligraphy too and this is such an inspirational piece! I haven't done any for a while and now feel like getting my pens out! Isn't this project great? I will also do a post showing all the pieces I have been sent!
ReplyDeleteLovely work. I'll come back and visit again.
ReplyDeleteReally wonderful of all of you to stop by and comment...I agree, it is so fantastic to get to see Martha's work, and then I get to see all of yours as well via this blog. Thank you so much everyone and I can't wait to see what everyone does each week. Perhaps we shall have some letters in our work, too? ! : )
