HAS IT REALLY BEEN SINCE APRIL THAT I HAVE BLOGGED?<br />
This is a pic of Kris and I at liz hall's beautiful wedding! I am now up and about and getting better every day. I guess it could have been called the summer of discontent on my part-many doctors, er visits and three or four hospital stays. more info below if you d like to know. but I am surrounded by angels and vibrations so solid its incredible. I got out of the hospital 5 weeks ago-had to postpone all my engagements for fall and now slowly coming back to work. I have been having a vacation of sorts-eating amazing fresh food, sight seeing from my wheelchair, and swimming-especially during the horrendous heat wave! My daughter Kristin had moved down temporarily to watch me-best nurse ever!!The outporing of love from everyone from facebook to neighbors is so gratifying, we even had food delivered nightly by the peace network ( and Amanda Hall and Kim Carroll ) WOW i have to believe this is the good part of being ill. I appreciate it all and again everyone.As Joel would say this setback is a setup for a comeback<br />
Oh and my birthday! I thank all of you who came,brought food, and presents-if I didnt thank you personally its because we get all mixed up at the end! I had two cakes!<br />

So I am into changing it all up now-we're going to go online for merchandise-have small flower class on my patio<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
**** the first one will be SATURDAY OCTOBER 11 10-1<br />
Simple watercolor flowers-most supplies included plus snacks! $100-email or facebook me if interested-we will hold this on my patio<br />

THE DEETS ON THE MEDICAL FRONT<br />
<br />
<br />
Well the summer started after my lsat oral chemo round-manytrips to the ER-Finally determining my ammonia was low because of my liver tumors. I starting being unable to talk coherently or walk-my good doctor ( and neighbor) Monty and Paul my ex called the paramedics and I was in the hospital 10 days I think in a semi coma Then came the really fun part-Kristin came back down from Seattle and watched me and the only available course was hospice-I was really that sick! I had to be constantly cared for-walked, fed, everything! I was out of it for days. tThankfully I do not remember anything) Kristins friend Mike Eros came to help out from Texas and his was the first face I saw-Hospice had brought in a bed and I was really confused. Where am I? But you find whats really important and it has been a huge patience and gratitude lesson. Kris is so capable and her partner Sarah came down to attend to me too. I received cards you wouldnt believe, Im going to take pics and post on the flickr in their own album-look for the link on the right. ( It hasnt happened yet but soon!)Thank you God for all my angels and all the love I feel from all of you-thank you for the prayers<br />

ALSO I got to meet another calligrapher Idol-Massimo Pollelo! AND best of all-I got to do a live painting with him! There are videos out there -google it! and also a few pics on the flickr! It was a real hit with the audience-and so much fun-he is another one I look up to very much! So the piece was auctioned off and Gayle Hatton outbid them all!<br />

My Full Full November continued last weekend when I drove up the coast to Cambria-near Hearst Castle. My longtime SfC friend Annie Lawrence and her sister Judy invited me up-to teach funky letters. There were 21 great women who created amazing work-it always blows me away! First tho-I was treated to cocktails in the lovely creative garden of Vicki Greene-you simply must see her studio and tableaus on my Flickr at <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25736261@N00/%5C">www.flickr.com/photos/25736261@N00/\</a>.

I have never been to Boise or Idaho for that matter and I was just so amazed at how wonderful it is! It started out a bit rough with a plane delay that got me to my lecture a bit late -but no matter-everyone totally understood-I met my host and hostess for the weekend-they were so great! Karen and Charles have a beautiful house-they bailed from California to Boise and LOve it! Oh and I met their baby Bunny the cat-who was my new best friend!<br />

Yes I finally am making some changes to the prints in my store! At The Summit Conference-I sold out of these two prints-"Do Epic Sh*t" and "Make Epic Sh*t" I have made them into 8 1/2 by 11-and laid them out horizontally so you can fold in half and place them right on your studio desk! They are $10 plus $2 shipping each and available on my website <a href="http://www.lisaengelbrecht.com/">www.lisaengelbrecht.com</a> You might ask how I made these-well with the trusty Parallel Pen with purple in the cartridge and dipped in various colors of watercolors!<br />

I also have added a couple mini posters, same price<br />

To be honest I have been not feeling the greatest-dealing with side effects from new research drugs. I did make it through the Summit conference which was so wonderful I only wish I could have enjoyed it more but spent a few nights and afternoons knocked out! Thanks to Candy Entingh and Cecilia Harris for being my angels! So now I am playing it close to home-starting a new class at my local Art Center-here is their work after only 3 weeks!<br />

I was made to feel so welcome and treated like a queen. These students were from all disciplines and any had never done calligraphy before. Chicago is amazing-the food each night was to die for! I stayed at the Marriott and had a jacuzzi daily-wow what a charmed life I lead! They have workshops almost monthly and great teachers all- Can you say Jan Beaney and Jean Littlejohn?<br />
BIG THANKS to Sue Babbs who organized this adventure with attention to every detail-Beth and Caryl for taking me to beautiful dinners, Stana for great chauffeuring daily-the entire guild for dinner the last night, to everyone who made me feel welcome We had so many laughs and I was reminded of my purpose<br />
OK-you have to see more pics of their work<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25736261@N00/%5C"> here at my FLICKR page</a> and check out the guild's website here <a href="http://www.needleartsguild.com/">www.needleartsguild.com</a><br />

I kinda feel like Im cheating on letters-but included some words on my flowers! I really love to do these flowers and can't stop! ( and really -they are easy to do!) There is nothing better than sitting in the yard with the fountain trickling , painting nature. How blessed am I?<br />
SO! I will be teaching how to make these flowers here in SoCal soon!<br />
<br />

Always fun -this is our 8th year and I was again so fortunate to be asked to teach-this time-Fabulous Flowers and Romantic Romans. Letters Cal Style is a small conference held in the Pomona hills at Kellogg Conference center at Cal poly Pomona. Only 120 students so classes are capped at 12.

I had 12 lovely artists who did simply amazing work. It is always so great to see that confidence emerge-so by the time the class is over the art is wonderful. here are some samples!<br />
ALSO<br />
We had the amazing( dang I use that word a Lot!) Luca Barcellona over from Italy to teach-he was great-and on Sunday he gave a lecture and Chaz Bojorquez came to the dinner and lecture with his lovely wife Christina<br />
Oh I was so excited to sit with them and talk letters and the future of lettering today! so so cool The Society for Calligraphy will be having him speak soon... I iwll def put the info up here. He is the godfather of street lettering here in LA and has a new line coming soon from a famous shoe company.<br />

We will create a beautiful canvas with collage and hand lettering-I know this is a crazy time but it might be the perfect opportunity to do something just for yourself-or gift the class to a friend!<br />

The Old manuscripts featured 20 Karat gold initials called Versals-they started the verses! You can easily reproduce these stunning shiny letters.<br />

Here I’ve used my versals from the book Hand Lettering for Crafts by Sandra Salamony- but any intials could work.<br />
<br />

Using bright colored or black paper sketch the outline of the initial lightly with a pencil. Then carefully fill it with a small brush and Duo Adhesive. You can get Duo Adhesive from Paper and Ink Arts, (www.paperinkarts.com) You can also use Mona Lisa Glue from Michaels but I like the Duo better. You’ll want to fill the initials with a LOT of adhesive-flood it once you do the outline.<br />

Here’s how it looks when you apply the glue. It will be creamy white and cover the paper completely.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now the hardest part-wait till it drys COMPLETELY CLEAR! During <br />
the drying make sure nothing touches the glue-I always seem to forget and put another paper on top and that wrecks the surface! ( You can just reapply the adhesive if this happens)<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> </b></span> The letters should look like this when finished drying<br />
<br />
Now apply the gold leaf-I find La D’Ore at Michaels and art stores. It comes in many colors and variegated. It is super flimsy and light.<br />

I can't say it enough-but I am still so surprised at the wonderful work that happens in my classes! I feel so honored to be able to watch artists work and just be there as a facilitator-I had the most wonderful experience at the BOW VALLEY CALLIGRAPHY GUILD in Calgary, Alberta for 4 wonderful days in November! I stayed with the talented Kerri Forster who was a wonderful host-despite an unfortunate incident. I taught Letterista Romans and Gothic and the great ladies and gentleman did inventive and grand work-here is just a small sample-you definitely owe it to yourself to check out the many pics on my flickr-( click on the link on the right) it is so inspiring!<br />

*Brush Lettering by Lisa Engelbrecht on Nov 10-11 2012*<br />
<br />
We started off by introducing ourselves and getting to know each other.<br />
The class was a mixed group, ranging from those with no introduction to<br />
brush lettering to those who've taught calligraphy classes. We spent the<br />
first morning getting comfortable with using a brush, being able to<br />
control our<br />
movement while at the same time learning to let the strokes flow from<br />
our hands freely. We practised simple (and not-so-simple) strokes<br />
<br />

repeatedly before getting started on the alphabet. Then, Lisa had us watch as she<br />
demonstrated the lower-case letters one by one. We traced them using<br />
graph paper and the handouts to get the hang of the letters and then<br />
started trying to write them on our own. Lisa gave us thoughtful prompts<br />
to think<br />
of words we could write once we were familiar with the alphabet. We did<br />
the same thing for the upper-case letters after that. By the end of the<br />
day, all of us felt more confident with our brushes and were also able<br />
to try our some words with watercolors and glitters.<br />
<br />
Lisa started the second day's session by showing us demos of writing<br />
styles with various types of brushes and pens; it was fascinating. She<br />
provided some supplies for us to try out different effects and we spent<br />
the morning writing more words on black paper with acrylic paints. We<br />
practised a pointed script with micro-tip pens and also did a brush<br />
version of the same. After lunch, we learnt a curly script with a more<br />
fluid style and a lot of curls and flairs - it was my personal favorite!<br />
When we put up Lisa's demo font on the wall in front of us, I thought it<br />
looked fabulous. She then asked us to create our own variation based on<br />
what we've learnt and have fun finishing our favorite words; we made a<br />
booklet out of these at the end of the day. We had also got our plaques<br />
set up earlier in the morning with gesso, to write one inspirational<br />
word on it. Lisa then showed us different ways to decorate the scripts<br />
with gel pens, oil pastels or water colors. At the end of both days, we<br />
spent some time walking around looking at everyone's creative work and<br />
sharing our own - it was a great way to interact with everyone, share<br />
techniques, learn from each other and feel connected.<br />

<br />
Throughout the two days, everyone's good spirits and energy made the<br />
place a wonderful environment to work in, full of laughter and<br />
enthusiasm, and<br />
made the overall experience very memorable.<br />
