Letterheads 2006 - Scotland

Post by James Kelly »

Hi, great site. I've been lurking around here for some time and thought it about time I said hello. I'm form Northern Ireland and have been a signwriter for 25 years.

I've just returned from my first Letterheads meet in Scotland and I must say I had the time of my life, I'm now a confirmed Letterheads addict!

I've posted a report at http://www.signpig.com/viewtopic.php?t=1035

Hopefully this will be the first of many. :D

The meet really was wonderful.
It was refreshing to see so many younger folks keeping the craft alive.
Scott Jordan (John's grandson) is going to be a force to be reckoned with.
I was lucky enough to learn the art (well sort of learn) of painting narrow boat roses.
My easel mate, Tim Bird, was being taught by an old hand, Alan Brindle.
So I watched and listened.
It was the first thing I've learned at a meet in years.
I plan to practice this skill, as nobody in these parts has ever seen the like.
love....Jill
