Get ready for this year's boot camp....who will join this time???

Lots of people asked me where I got my Crayola gel fx crayons last week. I got them in Asda, but I can't remember how long ago!

They don't seem to stock them any more and they aren't listed on the Crayola websites

This Crayola product is also great fun - I'll try to find an example to post.

Have a look at this fantastic calligraphy video by Denis Brown - sample available on his website (or click on the image below).

No wonder I don't get much done

Tried to spread some stuff out to photograph it....but someone else had other ideas. What must it be like to think that everything anyone else does is simply for your amusement?

Wordle

Ruth mentioned Wordle at the last Quarto meeting. Looks like it could be good for layout ideas. Give it a try!
This is just one layout using the words "north yorkshire calligraphers". If you click the randomise button you get a series of different layouts. I think it would be more interesting with more words.

Book art

Have a look at this amazing book. Thanks to Jill for forwarding it.
