Calligraphy book
December 16, 2007
This book turned out much better than I thought. The cream and black is such a classic combination and it works beautifully. The paper is an Italian graphic paper on the outside and a Japanese Chiyogami on the outside. Very multicultural.
I had some very bad news this morning so I’m not going to write much more - not really in the mood.
See you tomorrow.

The calligraphy book is really sharp. One of my favorites that I have seen here so far.
I hate to here when someone is troubled, and always wish that there was something I could do to help. I truly hope that you are alright.

[...] of Diane’s work looks tasty enough to eat, and when I read that one of her calligraphy books had Japanese Chiyogami on the outside, I thought maybe it was literally coated in sushi. Wrong [...]

Thanks you all so much for your kind thoughts. It’s all been a bit horrible - especially just before Christmas - I seem fated to have dreadful Christmases but hey! I’ll live - stiff upper lip and all that.
We Brits are famous for it…. memo to self - cheer up.

Now why do I like this one so much? :) I like them all of course, but this one appeals to something specific in me.

Jon - it’s probably because you can picture it filled with your lovely poetry, words and pictures…
