Hamma Hamma 2018

Hamma Hamma 2018–several members of Peninsula Scribes met with members of Nib ‘n’ Inks for the annual project day at the fire station.  Theresa Wall led the whole day in making loads of ephemera to fill an embellishment box with a July 4th theme–we made tons of cute things!  Nib ‘n’ Inks president, Karen Crate also gave us a handout with three hands on them to try.  We enjoyed a plentiful potluck lunch.  We especially thank Nib ‘n’ Inks for hosting the entire day!  It was a fun filled productive day.

January Meeting

Linda O’Neill did an amazing two part program in January.

During the first half of the program she took us through the steps she used to produce her Bird and Words poster that she did for Carol DuBosch’s year long class.

The second part of the program was Akin, an informal calligraphic hand.  We all had fun practicing it.  It has many possible applications!

Linda will talk about her final poster project in Carol DuBosch’s year-long study class.  She will show the steps she took in finishing her final project — a poster entitled “Birds & Words”.

2)  Akim Cursive

Linda will demonstrate Hans Joachim Burgert’s informal script he named Akim Cursive.  It is a fun, relaxed, informal type of script which is most attractive and easily learned, but requires practice for proficiency.  This script breaks from traditional calligraphic scripts

•     Lined paper  (i.e. notebook paper, or layout bond prelined before class.
