Letter Pixels / Color printers that will print on watercolor paper
« on: December 13, 2017, 11:52:23 AM »
Anyone have recommendations for a good printer that will print on 140lb watercolor paper?  I was SHOCKED yesterday to learn that HP does not make a printer that will do this!!  Would appreciate anyone who has pros and/or cons of printers they use for this.

Many thanks,
Rebecca

Completed/Past Exchanges / Re: 2017 Flourish Forum Exchange List

Dearest Erica:

Have SO missed out on FF exchanges this year!!  Looking forward to 2018 and getting signed up for several of them - especially since I am Valentine's Day baby!!

Kindest regards,
Rebecca

Here is what I have been doing for about 10 years - since I started doing envie exchanges with Cyberscribes:

At the end of the year, I purchase a 36 x 24 black frame.  Then I gather all the envies I have received and make a collage of them.  For a year, it hangs in my office at work - where people are JUST astounded that such an art still exists AND thrives.  At the end of year, that one comes home to be hung - and a new one arrives at my office.  There is not one room in my home that doesn't contain a year of envies...and I adore seeing them - as some of those calligraphers are no longer with us on this earth - and my heart smiles...and grieves at the same time.  I love it they they aren't tucked away in a box or drawer - and can be enjoyed for years and years.

Just a thought...

And how come there isn't 12 hours a day to work/commute; 12 hours a day to sleep; and 12 hours a day to BE AN ARTIST????

Blessings to you....

Digital Design / Photoshop Elements

Any Photoshop Elements experts out there - willing to walk me through my first attempt at scanning calligraphy?  I bought the book "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Dummies"...but I'm certain that anyone who is familiar with this could give me the Cliff Notes version....  8)

Many thanks!!

Dear Lori:  No...20+ years of broad edge - not pointed....fairly new to pointed pen.  I am already in a year long broad edge exchange - and just signed up for the Fall Exchange here!!  Feeling pretty inadequate - as there is AMAZING talent here.  But blessed to be part of the community!!

Sorry -- I meant to type "20+ years of broad pen"! :P Are you RebeccaO in the class?

Yes...dear gal...that's me....the new spencerian kid on the block....feeling pretty inadequate there too!!  LOL   ::)

Hi Rebecca! I'm in Harvest's class, too.

20+ years of pointed pen -- that's awesome! I did pointed pen 20 years ago, but let it languish until recently. Now I'm picking it back up and learning pointed pen. There's a broad pen exchange over in the broad pen forum if you're interested. (There's a also a pointed pen fall exchange, but I had to get in a plug for broad pen.  :) )

Welcome! I'm sure you will love the Forum!

Hi Rebecca!  Welcome to the forum!  Charlotte is my favorite place in the whole world...my husband and I are hoping to move there (from North Dakota) someday soon!  Perhaps we'll be able to meet in person someday :)  I hope you find the resources here as helpful as I have!

Dear Jamie:  Yes, Charlotte is a fabulous place to live and work...been here about 15 years and adore it!!  Yes, would love to meet you when you arrive...we born and bred southerners are amongst the most gracious of all!

Hey Y'all!!!  New to Flourish Forum and pointed pen calligraphy.  Been studying broad edge for 20+ years.  Just started Harvest Crittenden's Spencerian class...even after one week I have learned so much!!  Nice to be among, what I believe are the most amazing artists...calligraphers!!  ;D
