Smile on Saturday - What's in a name
Rather late in getting this taken and posted. We had a request for a little person to come and play at Nanny and Pops' house (garden) what could be better than to hang out with a two year old? I've achieved my steps goal 😂
I decided on August as it is the first of August today but it is also a First name. The following information is from WikiPedia:
August is both a given name and surname developed from the Latin, Augustus. Derived from the Latin word augere, meaning "to increase," Augustus had the meaning "esteemed" or "venerable" and was a title given to Roman emperors.
I have included a poppy and a couple of poppy seed head decorations as Gladiolus and Poppies are the birth flowers for the month of August. My gladioli haven't come up this year so I have used a poppy again...I think I would be pushing my luck if I used this for my 100 Flower challenges!
More practise with my brushstroke lettering.
Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!
The crossing point, again and again, new calligraphy written by the hand of the modern angels guarding over the sky above Utrecht.
With the thanks to Wim Wenders for such inspirational and timeless title.
I'm always making things. If I'm not knitting, I'm quilting. But lately, it's been hand lettering. With paintbrushes. Who am I? I'm the girl that didn't think she was an artist because I couldn't draw. Luckily, I grew up and have realized that being an artist means what I want it to mean.

This is a very handmade video. My daughter caught my very informal callligraphic moment with a brush marker.

The Naxi people of southwestern China's Yunnan Province are the last people in the world still using a script composed entirely of pictographs. Though it is proudly posted on murals, street signs and in other places throughout their small territory, only a handful of people survive who can still write it. Fortunately, I was able to find one of them and, understanding the deeper meaning of the Book, he agreed to write something of deeper significance to him than a hello to a tourist.
The Book of Names is a special, ongoing quest. It is a collection of people - their names, languages, cultures, countries, hopes, dreams, values, and all they hold dear coming together in a spirit of mutual respect and human brotherhood. As of the beginning of 2015, the Book had been signed by 126 people from roughly 74 countries, 101 people groups and 73 languages.

Step into the mesmerizing world of teamLab’s Life Survives by the Power of Life II (2020), a digital masterpiece blending calligraphy, nature, and life’s profound unity. This 60-minute looping installation challenges the boundaries between art and audience, immersing viewers in a seamless interplay of physical and artistic spaces. The artwork reimagines the kanji character for “life” (生, sei) through Spatial Calligraphy, a technique pioneered by teamLab that explores the depth, power, and fluidity of brushstrokes in a three-dimensional realm.
This creation transcends traditional two-dimensional art forms, utilizing teamLab’s Ultrasubjective Space concept to dissolve the perceived boundary between viewer and artwork. Unlike conventional framed pieces, where the surface separates observer and art, Life Survives by the Power of Life II extends into the audience’s environment, fostering an intimate and unified experience. The result is an artwork that blurs the lines between nature, civilization, and the individual.
Drawing inspiration from the continuity of life’s blessings and challenges, the piece asserts a timeless truth: existence is interconnected. Vibrant digital renderings of natural motifs and bold calligraphy merge to symbolize resilience and beauty amidst life’s dualities. Witnessing this work is not merely observing—it’s becoming a part of its living, breathing essence. Perfect for those seeking to engage deeply with art that defies conventions, Life Survives by the Power of Life II is a profound reminder of life’s interconnectedness and beauty.

Super close up of some modern calligraphy I've been working on today : ) Drawn using a Sakura Micron fine liner.
