My brother just sent me this link from The Daily Universe, BYU's student newspaper.
And would you look at that -- a whole article about my mom and her beautiful knack for beautiful writing! It's about time she got some published recognition (because fame by word of mouth can only go so far, even if it spreads like wildfire). But seriously -- she's incredibly talented. It's too bad that, as the daughter who looks like her twin, the calligraphy genes didn't get passed down to me. But even though they didn't, I still audited both her beginning and advanced classes and had a lot of fun (because not only can she teach you how to make a pen do amazing things, she's also hilarious and entertaining). So, if you're still a student at BYU, I highly recommend you consider taking her calligraphy classes.
PS: That strapping fellow in the photo is my cousin, Zac. I guess he's famous now, too. Or else just privileged to be featured photographically because he's a favorite nephew taking his favorite aunt's course.

I had no idea that BYU offered calligraphy! I so would've taken the class. Vance Hawkins was even in my old ward and I had no clue. How sad. But super cool that your mom's famous!
Had no idea they offered that. Unfortunately I think it's a dying skill. Wish I could be so talented.
That is so neat! I would totally take that class if I lived anywhere near there. *Sigh* One more class I need to remember to take when I have time . . .
I would have loved to have had the space in my schedule to take her class! Too bad I've already graduated and we're moving. Oh well. Maybe I can be inspired anyway?
