Calligraphy work

[angieh]

Here is the piece I've been working on. It is my entry for Art and the Letter, the 2015 exhibition organised by CLAS (Calligraphy and Lettering Arts Society). Gone off with my tutor today!

The photo is not terribly good but gives an idea of what it looks like.

Wow, Angie. That is absolutely beautiful, so clever. Looks to have been a huge amount of work gone into it. I would imagine it was VERY difficult to do. Love the background and the right hand indent. You are very talented, it must have taken an age to complete, you must be very proud.:cat3

Thank you so much FM :oops:

what a lot of work that must have been, it's lovely Angie. Well done.

[angieh]

Thank you Shelley :D

Your work is simply stunning, Angieh. You must be so proud.I wish I had half of your talent.

[angieh]

Thanks so much dinky. I am in my second year, one afternoon a week. It's a lovely group with none of the pressures that you get in "organised" adult education nowadays.

Just to let you lovely folk know that I was awarded "Most Promising Beginner" in this year's Art and the Letter. I feel humble today when I found that my work appears on the CLAS website along with some stunning work from other people in different categories. Something indeed to aim for!

Well done Angie! There are some wonderful examples of calligraphy on your link, I'm in awe of all the beautiful work.

[dinky]

Congratulations Angie. You must be so proud. There are some stunning works on that link and your work is up there with the best of them. You must go out and have a special meal to celebrate.

Thanks Yola and dinky for your lovely comments. I've actually ordered myself some new medium - Inktense blocks and I'm dreaming of doing some painting now, maybe some still life. While thinking about a new calligraphy piece too!

Beautiful piece of work Angie, congratulations on winning your class. Can't wait to see your next piece. It must be very difficult to judge such fabulous work.

[angieh]

Thank you FM - yes, I certainly wouldn't want to be a judge and the standards in the more advanced groups are obviously very high.
