Just when I thought I had everything under control (like *that* will ever happen!) Microsoft has decided to discontinue their email service.... I am really worried that I might lose you guys, my favourite people!, in the shuffle. I will try to make the transition as smooth as possible, but please bear with me. You may have to re-subscribe to the newsletter and interest groups! Sigh. Sorry!

This & That Mingle by Yogi Grunwald
The “This & That” Mingle Suzanne had asked me to do a write up last year, but I really hate
writing, so I put it off. Well here we are in year two and I thought
I better write something up this time… A bunch of us decided after
the year’s first mingle ended to continue doing these pages. They
were great for getting our creative juices flowing, seeing how others
interpreted a theme, doing some research work to explore how a holiday
could be transferred to paper and accumulating wonderful pages that
would be eventually bound into books for future viewing and sparking
us when ideas are few.
The first’s year’s was called “Accordion” because that’s how I envisioned everyone binding their pages. It’s easy to do, expandable and can be anything from a plain accordion to something really, really fancy. But in the end it didn’t matter whether you bound it that way, or just with binder rings or for that matter just put them into a nicely decorated file box. It was the creating and giving & sharing that was important. For this year’s mingle I decided to expand the themes to include
Flower, Colour, Horoscope and Birthstone of the month as well as number
of the month besides all the holidays for a particular month. So there
is a vast variety of themes to choose from. What was also nice, I
thought, was that anyone can play. If they think they have some time
to create a page that month, then all it took was signing up. No one
had to commit for a year-long event or do more than one page if that’s
all they wanted to do. But for those of us who are playing just about
each month, we are definitely creating some awesome books. Feel free to join in on one or more of these mingles. Sign up for each mingle starts on the 3rd Wednesday of the month in the ByHand Yahoo Group Database and a deadline for sign up of the LAST Wednesday of the month, then I post the MASTER list on the 1st Wednesday of the next month and the DUE date for mailing your mingle is the 2nd Wednesday of that month. You make one page and mail it to the person below your name on the Master List and you will receive one page from the person above your name on that same Master List. So easy.

A
natural progression into commercial art resulted in her studying at
the London college of Printing. Subsequently she studied figure drawing
and portrait painting under Innes Frip, R. A. at the City and Guilds
School of Art, Kensington, and in 1957 began brush lettering under the
tuition of William Sharpington (1900 - 1973), one of the great proponents
of brush lettering in the style of Trajan's column, for which she won
five awards at the school.
