I just last week bought a basic dip pen and speedball nib for my daughter's birthday, as she's always loved beautiful writing, even before she actually knew what the words said! As for Dave's paper sculpture, wow...just wow!A mermaid in the attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01139858546037879539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365638669842033250.post-74777792607912827762012-08-03T02:00:06.875-07:002012-08-03T02:00:06.875-07:00Here's a toast to you John & your wonderf...Here's a toast to you John & your wonderful gallery, one day I will get over there and see all the wonders you have unearthed in real life!Mo Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004208849028911104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365638669842033250.post-42827546305463022152012-08-01T12:03:57.141-07:002012-08-01T12:03:57.141-07:00I will have to consult you in future Mo about what...I will have to consult you in future Mo about what artists to show,<br />you seem to know of everyone.<br />You are right Dave is a very nice man, he made me feel as though I was doing him a great favour taking this work off him, he also let me take a smaller piece which I am tempted to buy for myself.imaginehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18096877734466819623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365638669842033250.post-5185322810419897032012-07-31T14:31:49.439-07:002012-07-31T14:31:49.439-07:00Dave Woods is brilliant, way back in the 80's ...Dave Woods is brilliant, way back in the 80's I started a calligraphy class with this kind gentle poetic soul of a man & he was such a patient teacher. I was absolutely hopeless and dropped out after a month of trying to use a left handed nib to no avail but he taught me so much in those few weeks about the flow and form of letters & how they can be transformed into poetry.Mo Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004208849028911104noreply@blogger.com
