Just a reminder....

The newsletter has been mailed but just to remind you that you will need to bring your regular painting supplies along with the items you will need for the class.  Margaret said we would be doing a wash over the pen and ink design and she will furnish the paint.  See you there,

November - and no chill in the air???

I know you all had a great time with Liz Miller last month.  Wish I could have been there but my sister came to town for my nephew's wedding.  And anytime she comes we are super busy.  We cooked (ok, she did most of the cooking) for the shower, we set up a candy bar at the wedding, we shopped in all the best antique stores and the thrift stores, we ate Church's Fried Chicken (she loves this stuff) and had a really great time with all the sisters.  You do know I have six sisters right?  It is even better when they are all talking to each other - you know how it is with siblings, even at our age they still fight - just like when they were younger.  She left last week exhausted and now that we are back on schedule I do plan to attend next months meeting, excited to see what Margaret is teaching.

I apologize for not getting the newsletter out last month.  I am helping my son and his family with picking up the grandchildren after school for a few months and I help my daughter with getting the grandsons to school and back so my days are pretty full.  I didn't realize I had forgotten the newsletter until Thursday before the meeting.  I know you miss all my ramblings but I am working on this months as we speak.

I don't have pictures to show you of the project we are going to do with Margaret at the November meeting but I did receive an email with the items you will need to do the class.  This is different than what we have been doing and I think you will enjoy it.

Margaret sent the following information for the upcoming class in November. 

You will need the following:
The nib is a #102 crowquill pen nib. I have seen them in a pkg at Hobby Lobby and Michael's in the art dept. The pkg has the #102 nib ,holder and a small bottle of black ink for $6.99.

Lemox may have them individually if you can't find them at the craft stores. The nibs retail for $1.39 and the holder is around $1.98

If they are not interested in buying the nibs they can use a white jellyroll pen, also available at Michael's in the area where they sell the Sakura micron pigment pens.

I will furnish the paper and white ink for $1 or $2 depending on the paper, etc.

Looking forward to a fun and easy class.

Liz Miller Seminar
6-7 October 2012
Times:  9 am - 5 pm

We will host a Liz Miller Seminar this weekend beginning at 9 am.  Please note that meetings start at 10 am but seminars are at 9 am.  We want to get as much work done as possible hence, the time change.  Lunch is the usual covered dish.  Bring your regular painting supplies.  We will not have a meeting so it would be nice if every one is in their place at 9 am so you can get a good start.

Pictures of the projects are in a post below.  Don't forget your surface.

I apologize for getting this out so late, I am writing it as quickly as possible.  I have yet to do the newsletter and if I can complete it by Saturday I will drop it off at the seminar.  As stated in the email, I have been busy with family and a wedding so the newsletter was the last thing on my mind. 

A reminder that Margaret is going to teach us a new technique at the November paint in.  And the first Saturday in December we will have our annual Christmas Luncheon so start getting those ornaments together.  While we ask that they be handmade we understand that sometimes that is not possible so if you find a nice one in the store you would like to share, feel free to do so.  We just want everyone to have a good time.

Have fun Saturday, I will be thinking of y'all while I am busy working.
