The Great Napkin Debate


I'm telling ya, a book can be done

on the lowly napkin---I did not

begin to scratch the surface of Napkinry

and my head was swimming with

sketches I'd not have the time to

do, without a signed meaty contract

for same. And this does not

even include the silverware---this spread got

started with a remembered heated debate

with my grandson (which at the time

got laughed about)on how he thought napkin was

pronounced . His mother's baby

talk had remained for continued

use, in his brain.....

as can happen. I know when

speaking to a cat, I still use my

mother's baby talk.....I can't be

alone in this......can I ?

Loved this ... really takes me back to the alternate pronunciations we lived with when my own kids were little. Kind of missed them as they grew older.

...and I have to say, you have some of the most amazing lettering. Nice work as ever.

I didn't realize the size of this journal until I saw your hand beside it! Great spread.

My daughter and grandkids love to see my journal. It helps that I had my granddaughter take Jessica's drawing class with me. They are the only ones though. My husband likes it that I make our Christmas cards or gifts but he otherwise considers me to be wasting time. How can I make nice cards if I don't get to practice? Of course, he's one of those people who just does things and they work out without all the practice. I saw your query about who cares about your art over on the EDM site but I was a bit late to those messages so thought I'd share here. It really is great to have this group plus LTJ group.
