Hi Flourish Friends,

It has been quite some time since I posted an update for Flourish members. If you are receiving this message via email, it is because at some point you signed up for emails via the Flourish Forum blog. 😉

I have just posted the sign-ups for the always popular Halloween | Day of the Dead Exchange. This exchange will work a little differently than previous ones. The lists will be set up according to skill level starting with complete newbie up through advanced.

I know some folks will be disappointed with this so there will also be a “lottery” in that each advanced skilled member will have one newbie/beginner on their list to send an exchange. This way beginners will still have a chance at receiving a more advanced skill exchange.

Sign ups can be found here: Halloween Exchange Sign Up post

Many new members, both experienced and beginners, have joined us over the summer. Although things have been quiet, we’ve watched some great improvements being made and continued to share new calligraphy related finds.

Most recently, generous member SMK (Salman) has begun sharing his fantastic Copperplate tutorials. These are very in-depth lessons with great detail. This is an incredibly generous and exciting offering from Salman and we are very lucky to have him sharing with us and giving so much of his time and experience. Salman’s lessons are in the Tutorial board which can only be accessed once logged in.

If it’s been awhile since you’ve joined us, I hope you stop in to say hi, share with us what you have been up to, and sign up, if you’d like, for the Halloween | Day of the Dead exchange.

Truly,

Erica
