At the August 17th meeting of the Fabulous Las Vegas Scribes there was a wonderful program led by talented member, Schin Loong on Brush Lettering. Members were guided and corrected by Schin to help improve our skills. Schin showed how to mix different fonts together with the same pens for a fun, cohesive piece.

Daci Overby gave a quick overview on the overhead on navigating Google Drive for everyone, which seemed to have been enjoyed. Nancy Sampson gave a very informative meeting and a nice presentation on the making of the folded pen, Making Marks Decorating. For those who have never used the pastels (chalk colors), Nancy demonstrated scraping them a bit with the exacto blade and then taking a piece of soft fabric (t-shirt) and rubbing it onto the paper. It really made the paper art piece pop with little effort.
