Inspiration: Lettering Your Lineage with Holly Monroe, online presentation for the Washington Calligraphers Guild. See HM: Family Trees. My initiating idea was an arboreal design with annotations. The result was a pile of links. Reach, meet grasp.

This month’s entry for State of the Blog. The intention was to create art for a Sunday post. When it became a linkfest, a Saturday SOTB post became a more suitable place. #howthesausageismade [Archives]
Onwards!
