i already have instructors emailing me: "I am incredibly frustrated already with Garrett's 'support' of my classes" and "This doesn't seem to bode well for the future." etc. though i asked what we should do with forms that come in while he's gone, he didn't respond, so as much as it pains me, i will do nothing. of course, i realized today that i ought to have asked about the backups and didn't. i guess i either do them myself, which will make him mad, or wait, which will make me mad. moo-ha-ha-ha! guess which one i'll pick? :D

the north county calligraphy guild's holiday party was small but sweet. at the exchange, i got an older book of shakespearean sonnets "written in the Sweet Roman Hand" and an unusual, heavy ink pot. i think the person who got my christmas fairy was less than happy and i am reconsidering giving that gift at the san diego fellow calligraphers' party. :(

a representative from plaza pen & art was at the party and i walked away with a flat waterbrush and pebeo. i will probably give the flat waterbrush to terrilynn: i have no innate ability to create chisel-edge letters with a flat brush (i'm just barely able to do it with a pointed brush). i like frisket and masks and everyone raves about the consistency of pebeo so i thought i'd try it. i almost got sucked in by the rollabind system, which i had seen ads for and thought was pretty useless. but then i saw how they worked and then edna demonstrated how you could mix & match sizes (very useful!) and punch placemats as covers, but at $60 for the binding and then extra for the disks, i passed.
