e.

I ‘m looking forward to seeing results of Calligraphy dabbling. I used to try it when I made my own christmas cards.
Know the feeling about IT woes. I’m having problems with my anti virus program. Would your modem problem be associated with electrical storms?

It’s been a frustrating time lately - modem wodes. I just look at it the wrong way and it drops out.

Earlier this evening I wrote a very lengthy reply to you all -alas the modem dropped out and “poof” it was gone. Fingers crossed second time around….

Doda, I’m so glad you like what you see - ditto with the gorgeousness of your own blog.

Mandy, we’ll get ourselves a Tardis and visit all those good times - past and future!

Elizabeth, I’d LOVE to see you all armoured up astride a sturdy steed!

Kim, Mmmmm…Vikings!

Karen, you lucky, lucky girl! To be studying such wonderful subjects for your Masters! I’ll definately check out the Vic Society, workshops are awesome.

Tazar, I’ll have to set a blog specifically for Blooper pics (for all the “messy” ones!) Any you can contribute?

They are really into living history like that in Denmark (the European one, not the WA one). My godsons and their Grandma used to spend days in a village recreation, wearing the clothes, eating the food and living as their ancestors did. It was a wonderful chance for them to live their history as well as providing real life scenes for visitors (like Soveriegn Hill in Ballarat, Victoria, but anyone can join in). I remember watching some amazing huge catapult machine they’d built there, flinging huge boulders into the fields. Realistic, without the gruesome bloodshed….. The boys loved it!

Great to hear about the calligraphy, look forward to seeing the fruits of your labours.

Thanks for dropping by my blog. I think you are right we have lots in common. In addition to doing calligraphy I’m also doing a Masters in Medieval Manuscipts focusing on the Book of Kells and the Lindisfarne Gospels.

Well done on picking up calligraphic tools again. I must admit if it wasn’t for my weekly class I might not do as much as I do now. Callligraphy for me is the most relaxing and meditative experience, the ink flows and I relax. I know you live in the Wilds somewhere but if you get the chance you should try to make Summer School in Winter the Victorian Calligraphy Society’s yearly school in June/July. They always manage to get some fantastic overseas tutors.

Hopefully will hear from you again.

Cheersluvvy,

Karen (aka Purpleberries)

The calligraphy is such an elegant art form…look forward to a sample..
