Mom+Calligraphy
Mom doing free-hand calligraphy.
It is amazing to see someone who has the art form down like that to just whip something out after just talking about it for a few minutes. She did a mock up on two sheets of paper taped together which she is taking home with her so she can get it on her light box. It is going right over the tv that we show our slideshows on. Of course it has to do with photography! I cant wait to see what it will look like when she is done!

I learned how to do calligraphy in high school, although mine could NO way compare to hers, lol, but it’s still nice when my mother asks me to write something in calligraphy for her! It’s that nice EXTRA touch as related to personalization!
Have a great Halloween girl! We are taking Ms. Mercedes out! Will try to post pictures if camera does not have an attitude, again, lol. Ms. Mercedes, awhile back, got the camera off the dock and took like a gazillion pictures of everything from our cats to our house to funny faces of her, lol. We have some where she held it in front of her and stuck out her tongue, made faces, lol. What a clown she is! Not surprisingly, the camera now is on the blink, rofl. I figure she pushed each button a gazillion times or more, rofl! But such is life, lol

Oh that is so funny. Keep those pictures and make a little book out of them for her. :sunny:
Jayden is growing up with a lens stuck in his face so much we think he must think G’ma and G’pa are really canon lenses…
I tried calligraphy as well but like you just for very personal stuff, nothing I charge for…it helps when you have nice handwriting/penmanship, I think.

Hi KerriI love this image of Mark’s Mother working on her calligraphy – and the light is just beautiful. Mark’s Mother is certainly is talented isn’t she. No wonder you can’t wait to see the finished result. Hope the rain held off for you so that the reception could be held outdoors, and thank you, I am enjoying our Spring weather. Mind you, it’s a little bit hot here too, 31 degrees celcius yesterday but still nice since there was a cool breeze blowing. Have a great weekend.

Love it when older people have some type of artistic ability and practice it even up in years. Love your work by the way.

She’s a big girl now and can decide where she wants to live. She LOVES it in Florida!
@lydellphoto - I just thought it would be nice to have your Mom living near you all, thats all.
@Borelfoto - she has a wonderful life and makes semi annual trips here. Her 2 boys live here but her daughter lives in Texas so it isnt like Sacramento wouild be the perfect place for her to live. Would we love it for her to be here, yes!!! But she has a full life out there. I think if you had just said what you wrote in your last comment it would have come across more like what you were hoping it to sound like. :love:
Way cool!!!
