The Coastal Calligraphers Guild is happy to debut its new website and blog. We are busy preparing for our next meeting which is this Sunday, March 2, 2014, at 1:00p.m. The meeting will feature the next installment of our year of Fascinating Letters, entitled, “It’s All Greek to Me” by Krystyna Sznurkowski. We will be traveling back to Ancient Greece! We’ll look at the Greek alphabet and Greek keys, and make Greek worry beads and boxes for them…and of course…put some Windex on it! (You’ve all seen that movie, right?)
Materials provided:
- Beads
- Colored chords for beads
- Mod Podge
- Template for boxes
