Calligraphy Southscribes - Getting Creative.

Dear Members and Followers,

We restrictions have eased we are not yet back into our workshops or into our Calliarts but that hasn't stopped our members from being creative.

Just to prove it we have some more Hello's and the first of our circle challenge issued by yours truly. While I cannot organise workshops, I can challenge people to be creative.

Enjoy!

Hello From Us

Dear Members and Followers,

While we aren't meeting for workshops and calliarts we are still working away with challenges.

In these distancing times I sent out the dare to our members to pick up a pencil and write Hello in three different languages. It could be in graphite or coloured and the responses, I just had to share.

So from Calligraphy Southscribes Inc in Sydney Australia a big "Hello"
