When I started my watercolor journey a few years ago, I told myself that the next challenge would be calligraphy.
I ordered a cheap calligraphy set very recently and started practicing for fun. Considering how awful my regular penmanship is, I am amazed at these early results.
Practice makes perfect. I can't wait to see what I can achieve in 6 months!
Of course, I had to pick lines from one of my favorite poems by the wonderful Emily Dickinson.

In "Photography of Life and Living: The Black and White Book," Cendrine Marrouat and Isabel Nolasco invite you to learn from brief moments spent on our little planet. The book juxtaposes black-and-white street and nature photography in five different themes (movement, stillness, growth, moments, and sharing), offering photography lovers an opportunity to (re)discover their deep connections with the world.

"In 'What Will Happen Next', you will see the world through young Emma Elicia's eyes, for all its kindness and cruelty. This is a story that acknowledges the misfortunes of life and defies them, calls the reader to the closeness of love, and soothes the soul's loneliness. You will be saddened, surprised, and in the end, uplifted." - Justin Smith, Linguist and Short Story Author
