Old Friend, New Friends at Ghost Ranch!

Learning different ways to draw with pointed brush....

Returning to Ghost Ranch (this decade) for Literally Letters! The Ranch hasn't changed much, of course, except for expanded housing, very tastefully done adobe bunk houses on the Mesa. Same light dry air, no bugs, blue skies and the same calligraphically enthusiastic students in the big room at the pavillion!

Encouraged to play!

This happy librarian was part of my workshop at NEFLIN this month...we spent the day making small bookforms that the librarian can use for involving mostly children and teens in books, writing and literacy.

Shirley had at work on her object drawing. Drawing takes a little patience!

Graphite Graffiti In Birmingham!

Discovering the word of the pencil and the pencil with letters...we also had students from Nashville (like Kathy E, pictured here), Louisville and Pensacola. Spend the weekend drawing, smudging, erasing.....
