Sheila Waters 90th Birthday

Sheila's birthday is March 13th. She has been a rock star in the world of calligraphy for decades. She's even featured on Wikipedia. If you have a minute - you might want to drop a birthday greeting in the mail. I should have given people more lead time. But, even if you send a greeting that is a bit late - I am sure she will enjoy mail that dribbles in all month. In fact -- it might be better to have it spread out.

Her address:

Sheila Waters
851 Boyle Road
Fairfield, PA 17320

Pennsylvania - if you want to spell it out.


For a visual I'm adding a birthday greeting that came from Maureen for Viola - you need to see it in real life to appreciate how tiny the drawing is. It is hand colored - looks like colored pencil - high quality pencils because the colors are very bright. The other Viola envelopes will pop up in May.

Maureen's italics are Sheila-worthy. If you do not have any calligraphic skill - don't worry - Sheila is one of those kind souls who appreciates the value of doing things by hand.

OK - Blogger is messed up right now - I'll try to come back and insert the photo the regular way. Not sure what's going on. I just inserted it with drag and drop - and it looks OK --

    Thank you for posting the info about Shelia!! I was lucky enough to take an italic class/workshop from her in the early 90's (i believe it was called "Fine Tuning Italic").

    Also, I agree about Maureen's lettering -- I got a similar env. from her last month, and was SO impressed with her tiny italic! Even her note inside it was written in that tiny italic!
