I’m prepping for our upcoming trip to Italy and I thought I’d make a few entries in my Book of Centuries. I drew the Colosseum first. I sketched it with pencil, then traced the lines with a Micron pen and erased the pencil with a kneaded eraser. Next, I’m going to draw Giotto’s Campanile (Bell Tower).

In an effort to work out what keeping a Sabbath looks like for a Mom, I have added “Sabbath Calligraphy” to my Sunday afternoon schedule. Wanna see what I’ve got so far?

P.S. If you like this kind of calligraphy, you should check out Modern Calligraphy by Molly Suber Thorpe.

I’m reading John Ruskin’s commentary on “The Vaulted Book” which CM talks about as “The Great Recognition” i.e. the fresco depicting the substance of her 20th Principle (the Holy Spirit is our tutor/teacher for all things, not just those we consider “spiritual”). I’m so looking forward to seeing it in person!
