Back to school

I promised myself when the kids went back to school I would too, online that is
I can't be making journals and not filling or ruining them
with my dreadful  handwriting!
 There are loads of courses around
offering various levels and techniques
 but after a hot tip from Linda
I enrolled in Teresa McFayden's 'Letter Whimsy 1' course 
 I felt I needed to start with the basics and this course takes you right back to the beginning
I bought myself a few hideously expensive but superbly good Copics
 and together with the pens I've collected along the way I've made a start
can't wait to download the next lesson!

Great start!

I really should follow your example because I always like seeing other people's artwork with their own writing on but I don't like mine :o(

I really like the lettering you've achieved already.

OMG...I soooo need that course M!! I hate my writing and usually tend to stamp on my journal pages!
...and what you have done already is looking good! :)

Looks like you should get a A+ from what I can see. Block letters have always been difficult for me. But I haven't made my project from the last class I took...

Linda said...

I would have been here sooner, but we got rain and tornadoes last night. A bit bumpy for awhile. I agree that those copics are hideously expensive. I guess that's why I've never bought any (grin). But if it helps your journaling skills, that's all that's important.
