North East Scribes More Photos

I don't know what's happened over the last couple of weeks.... perhaps the floods distreacted me, but I've had these photos and meant to blog them ages ago!
I started my teaching career way back in 1988 and 20 years ago!!!! Where does the time go!!!! Anyway, it was ironic that I found myself back at the Art Centre in Darlington to teach some of my closest friends from my calligraphy past and some of these people I have known for the 20 years that have passed. Not too worrying until you realise that I was then younger than my son is now! NOW THAT’S SCAREY!
Anyway, the second Saturday in January we all met and I was there to teach them a contemporary lettering style to use in contrast to their more formal lettering that is so common for the calligraphers in the UK to use.
And below are some of the photo’s their wonderful work! Didn’t they do well? And remember this was the first time most of these folk had done this particular style.It was a fantastic opportunity to catch up with everyone, reminisce over old times and remind ourselves of the fun and laughs we have shared over the years.
The Art Centre has been revamped, refurbished and remodelled. I’m not sure I like the clean cut image that the building now portrays…. I remember the ‘good old days’ where there were Beer Festivals, Folk Festivals and Jazz nights….. Where the students hung around at lunchtime and the whole place had a ‘lived in’ feel…. Oh yes for the Good Old Days. Oh no….now I’m starting to sound old! Reminiscing and being nostalgic about the past! Have to stop this, Pixies don’t get old! Lol.
Please keep scrolling down for more of the work from the students of North East Scribes

Update Part 3

Hehehehehe! Seems it's not over yet! Further to my previous posts, this is what arrived via email today from one of the culprits. Amazingly, this has attracted more media attention than the stone circle we are building at Sentry and that's taken the best part of 2 years. Perhaps it's not contemporary enough? lol
Enjoy!

Makes you wonder if Stonehenge was made for nothing more than a bit of fun on Solstice and we have ever since been speculating (like trese people) who put it there and why and coming up with 2+2=5

Beautiful Women

This was sent by email from a friend and I just want to share it with you...

To all the beautiful women in my life

We need to remind each other sometimes....

One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men.

They bear hardships and they carry burdens,

but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy a

nd laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.

They stand up to injustice.

They don't take 'no' for an answer

when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without, so their family can have.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel

and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member,

yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colours.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you

to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.

They have the compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to their family and friends.

Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

I just had to share these words of wisdom with you.

They were sent to me from Teri Martin

You are not here merely to make a living.

You are here to enable the world

to live more amply,

with greater vision,

and with a finer spirit of hope

and achievement.

You are here to enrich the world.

You impoverish yourself

if you forget this errand.

Wedding Gift Commission

PLEASE CLCIK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE

Well, I’ve only been back at work for 2 days after the Christmas break and I’ve already got 2 commissions. Hopefully this year will be a good year.
The first one is for a piece that a girl has to read out at a Wedding.

The writing is in Walnut Ink.

Decorated with pastel chalks and Gouache hearts

and 2 23 ½ carat gold leaf hearts.

The whole thing including the mount measures 20” x 16”.

Thinking of you Bob

It's almost 6 years since my very 1st Pagan Camp and at that camp I met a very lots of special people....but one couple in particular stood out from all the rest and I believe for whatever reason, made a lasting impression on me. Their names are Sue and Bob. Sue is a regular commenter on my Blog, but doesn't have one yet, so her comments are usually Anon. These two are wonderfully kind, caring and loveing people who never seem to be short of people around them. They are true beings of light who brighten up everything and everyone around them.

Yesterday, after a wonderful day out with T, I came home and after reading a comment from her just had to ring. Bob, has cancer and starts his treatment today (Monday).
I am appealing to readers of my blog to light a candle and send your prayers in any way you worship for Bob. And please dear readers, if you comment on this post I will see thet both Sue and Bob get your messages.
Bob,,,I send you strength and courage and a full recovery. I know that you will be looked after. Please know that my thoughts are with you.
You are a wonderfully special couple and my love and thoughts are with you. I light this candle as a symbol of that love and ask that you go through your treatment and painlessly as possible.

Just Sharing

I’m not sure if anyone’s noticed but my counter has changed. While looking at Johnny Virgil’s site ‘The 15 Minute Blogger’ (A guy I find highly amusing!) I came across something about checking his his and tracking his visitors. So, after closer inspection of this counter I’ve added it to my blog.
I always wonder why people are so fascinated with reading my blog, I’m just a normal lass, doing rather mundane things, getting through life as best I can and really don’t think I have anything really interesting or special to blog about. I wonder if it’s a sort of twitching curtain thing. One where you can get an insight to someone else’s life, ideas and even psychoanalyse people …. Which terrifies the life out of me (lol) But realise that it’s much more than that…. It’s a way of networking, contacting others or simply making connections to another so we perhaps don’t feel so alone.
OK….so I added this tracker….they are harmless and most sites have them. They are a way of finding out who your target market is and where they come from. The advantage of using site meter is huge. It shows me many things one of which is how many visitors…..like this

Added to that I can find out WHERE my visitors come from…..

Singapore!!!!???? Well, I suppose anythings possible!

And how they got there. This site came up regularly Money Saving Expert
And I really was amused…wondered how the hell my link had got on there….so I delved deeper….
I was most amused to find this….
