WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT ?

First of all, let me explain my blog title:
Raleigh - INSIDE&OUT.

If you were born in the old Rex Hospital in the early 50's like I was, you weren't born INSIDE the Beltline. You were just born and lived IN Raleigh. Period.

It wasn't until the early 80's, when the Cliff Benson Beltline was finished that homes and their residents and pets were assigned the titles "Born Inside The Beltline" or "All Those Other People," otherwise known as "Outside The Beltline."

As a result, at the ripe old age of 30-something, I became an Inside The Beltliner through no fault of my own except being born to parents that owned a home on St. Mary's Street.

So, now let me explain what you'll be doing here. You will be following my journey, through sketching and lettering, while I meander Inside and Outside the Beltline.

I'm new at this, so I hope I either give you inspiration to try your hand at it as well, a boost to your ego because you've found someone who's not as good as you are (yet), or at least a good laugh!

In any case, come with me. Be my passenger. And let's enjoy this journey together!!

Maggi Bridal - OTB Raleigh




I had fun doing this page. My niece is getting married in Cancun, so my sister (The Mother of The Bride) needed a dress that would not only be proper for being The Mother, but also for the hotness of Cancun!

She shopped all over Raleigh, out to Streets of Southpoint, and back in Raleigh. The Dress was finally found at Maggi Bridal.

She looked elegant and beautiful.

Now I have to find myself a dress!

(Used Zig Broad Edge Marker for calligraphic lettering and a gel pen for the rest.)

P.S. The renderings in the journal pages seem to lose something in the scanning process. This will be yet another experiment to try to get better postings to you.
