Journal Art set to music

This is my first "music video" featuring calligraphy from various journals and the song by Norah Jones called "Those sweet words."



And here is a video of me lettering in our class this summer in Chicago, thanks to Hiroko Shimizu:

Roann, you have amazing talent and thank you so much for your sharing with others. I met you, I think, years ago in Randy Hasson's class. Your work is just beautiful and I have so enjoyed your calligraphy videos.

Roann, simply stunning work as always. You never cease to amaze me with your talent. I love the way you incorporated the music to snippets of color along with the written words. Mastery at its best.

The musical video was superb. And I enjoyed watching the work video. Both were lovely.

Roann,
Your musical video is beautiful but then I've never seen anything that isn't beautiful when its done by you.
Sincerly,
