What a lovely project, to decorate a piece of cork wood for a cheese board as a Wedding Gift!!!

It was a challenge and I do love a challenge 😀
The wood was sealed with varnish and I used white Gouache using my favourite oblique holder & a Brause 361 nib.

To preserve the artwork, a second coat of varnish.

Congratulations Mark and Lucy 💕

Mother's Day cards & gift tags on their way to my lovely customers.

A year has passed since I spent a morning with Jane in the gorgeous & my lovely friend Cindy ,

So little time recently to practice my Calligraphy because it's "full steam ahead" with my L3 Pilates Matwork with .
Celebrating 25 years of training Pilates Teachers.

's 'sday

26/02/2021

The first chance I've had in a while to practice Copperplate & OMG I'm certainly 'rusty'

I've been busy studying with for my L3 Matwork and loving every minute.....long way to go though!!
Body Control Pilates are celebrating 25 years of teacher training.

The A.B.C Pilates Principles of
Alignment
Breathing
Centring
Really do apply to your Calligraphy practice, so for all my lovely Calligraphy friends......sit up and take a minute to read this....

ALIGNMENT
If you are not correctly aligned in your seated position you will create tension throughout your body.
You will BLOCK 'Wanted' movement & possibly cause postural problems, just as I did in my neck......so sit correctly, starting with your feet placed in parallel, not tucked or crossed.
Your pelvis in Neutral, neither with a poserior or anterior tilt.
Avoid lifted your shoulders & dropping your head forwards creating neck tension.

BREATHING
Hold your pen lightly,
INHALE to prepare
EXHALE on the downstroke
INHALE on th upstroke

Rhythmic, Thoracic Breathing!

CENTRING
Appropriate level of Centring (activation of your Core muscles)
To maintain posture, to allow flowing movements of your arm and your Pen to create your beautiful work and to avoid tension and unwanted movements.

Happy Calligraphy practice & remember your A B C to create the perfect 'Line of Universal Beauty"

"Refreshing and Refining" Copperplate workshop with the lovely Joy Daniels

Organised by The Cinque Ports Scribes, Joy used Zoom to teach this workshop & it was a great success.
Four hours of brilliant instruction in her calm and relaxed style, meant we covered so much and for me, questions answered about technical points I've struggled with since I started learning Copperplate almost 3 years ago!!!

So this has been my World since the start of lockdown, I've been busy teaching Fitness Pilates, Circuit Classes and Personal Training via ZOOM!!

I didnt even know Zoom existed before lockdown but it's been an amazing way to teach my classes, to keep in contact with my clients, to 'meet' new people, keep people fit, healthy, motivated and positive.

As lockdown eases my plan is to continue teaching sessions via Zoom, especially as health clubs & gyms wont be opening any time soon.
