Going to Cheerio

I have been quite distracted from the blogging world the last few weeks. It all started with hurricane Isaac. He was the slowest moving storm I have ever experienced. I didn't think he would ever get here, much less leave! But 15" of rain and 2 days without electricity later, we were cleaning up and moving on, trying to get caught up from the 'hurricane days'. . . . .Some people have 'snow days', we have 'hurricane days':)

This house is not suppose to be in the water!

I was able to complete a beautiful wedding envelope project in Dr. Martin's Spetralite Gold. Even though there is so much stirring involved, I enjoy writing with this ink.

Oh the bling of gold!

And now, I am getting ready for John Stevens' class and a week at Cheerio! YAY!!!!

I have order supplies and have been working on the practice work that Mr. Stevens has sent out. Prepping and priming for brush Roman Caps. How intimidating is that?!? I hardly ever work with a brush so I need lots of practice. I am so excited.

     

Practice, Practice, Practice!

I will be away for a couple of weeks, but will have a special post when I return. Something along the lines of a blogging milestone and a new address.

Photography by Webster Miller

My brother is so talented. I know every little sister probably says this about her big brother, but in my case it's true. :)

Seriously, I am proud of my brother. He is a photographer in the Dallas, Texas area. This is his second career and man has he found his gift. Recently, he came home to Louisiana to take some portraits on location and, fortunately, I was able to have the time to assist him. His set up is impressive to say the least, and the results speak to this. But as with any creative art, the right tools help, but without the knowledge and natural eye, that equipment will only take a person so far.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. Check it out and see for yourselves here. www.WebsterMillerPhotography.com
