thanx y'all
Just for that, I'll torture you with one more from the 'cat' series.This one's for my wifes niece...or something. There are Christmas type cat photos on the front, thats why the kittykaligraphy. I'm whipping them out fast(I gotta crank out about 20 alltogether,a;l different kinds) so they're abit sloppy.
I'm gonna be doing some 'heavy' stuff later for some friends, maybe I'll post one...anywho...on with the torture

Ooh beautiful! You've got a real nice way with calligraphy! It's an art, you're very good at it.
Also I'm a sucker for cat puns - so I can't tell you how awesome those are

I want to see your heavy cards too - do put them up if you find the time! And if it's just a Christmas card with a picture of Devin Townsend glued to it, that'll suffice!!

She said it for me

We're on the same page aren't we, Amber?

Oh, you two spamsters.

Oh, you two spamsters.

Sorry - don't mean to spam - this place just makes me feel chatty

YOU SHOULD BE SORRY

Spam, Spam , Spam, Spam,Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam-S-Spam,S-Spam,S-S-S- Spam!!!!
Thanx for the kudoos! !! I just figured y'alld get a laugh at my curse/pleasure of middle age, sappy christmas card perdicament. Lettering is just a hobby, so I'm not very good.
The stuff I'm good at likely won't show here 'cause:
"A" ;,the f'' in rights to the thing probably don't belong to me. and
"B" I do it for a living, so it's like, usually showing someone something that 25 different people had important contributions too.That's not really very impressive unless you apreciate the process.
I just like lettering as a hobby,
like carving
and
macreme
my true art, I rarely show to any one

Very nicely done Deth, love the artsy kittens.

I wanted to do calligraphy when I was younger. Never took the initiative...

Well, there's always
GRAPHITTI!

i still can't get used to the 'new' forum layout asyufhuyfguyfgdjhufk. it's been over a year but i still can't adjust. i think it's what has been driving me away from here.


AVATARS GO ON THE LEFT.

This place makes me chatty too I don't mean to spam swear -sniffle-

And Deth - Did you do that graffti work? They look amazing. It's something I always wanted to try, but I'd probably suck at it
Can I ask how you do it? Or is that a secret? :O

I am mad with the world – for the cards I’ve been given, and for the cards it deals others – and I am mad with God that he could destroy my faith in him so easily with things that I have seen.

I am a woman, a daughter, a sister and an employee. I am a commuter, an analyst, a lost soul and a little girl. I am a lover without love, a romantic without romance. I am a Marxist and a Fascist and everything in between. I am conservative one day and liberal the next. I read Voltaire and Virgil but watch Ant and Dec. I am a brain, I am an intellect, I am a body and a voice. I’m a fantasist, a realist, an idealist, a perfectionist. I am verbose and incoherent, passionate and kind. I am proud, I am envious, I am vulnerable. I am loyal, I am stubborn, but spontaneous and impulsive. I am just me, and I cannot change how I came to be so.

I place my faith in humanity instead of religion, in fairytales instead of scripture. I spend too much time on what if’s until moments pass me by unnoticed. I doodle, everywhere, and on everything, and mutter my daydreams aloud. I sometimes laugh so hard my stomach hurts and the tears come rolling down my face. I have friends who can make me smile just by walking into a room, and who can make me cry with the gentlest of words or the sincerest of gestures. I have known great men and great women, cowards and thieves. I have been inspired, I have been demoralised, but I have carried on regardless. I enjoy the simple things in life – chocolate, good wine and good conversation – and have a passion for the pursuit of intelligence, in whatever form it comes. I have loved often, but rarely successfully, and I have had my heart broken, and my heart mended. I hurt people not because I am unkind, but because I am scared, and I push people away not because I want to be alone, but because I cannot stand to be and trap myself in a circle of old, safe friends, away from the vulnerability of new ones.

There are things, people, to which I am devoted beyond what I imagined myself capable of. People I love beyond what I knew was possible. People I want more than I realised it was possible to want them. There are things I wonder, things I dream.

nice words, been long time since i bothered to read something that long on the boards, totally worth it.

I did enjoy that, Clare.

Cherish the richness of daydreams Clare, they'll give your mind pleasure all your days.

Also I should probably try to make you smile by admitting that on reading part of your first line I thought you were extremely displeased by some Christmas cards you'd received.
