[Scriptoris] RE: award scrolls and introduction

[lizdenpeters at juno.com]

M'lady,

My favorite way to practice is to do quotations from a book of them (that
I specifically purchased for that purpose).  Since I have carpal tunnel
syndrome and arthritis in both hands, I have to pace myself with whatever
craft/art/work I am doing.  I have to take breaks at least every hour and
sometimes must heat treat my hands and wear splints.  Despite these
difficulties, creating a thing of beauty, even if flawed, is a rewarding
experience.  I am thrilled with the way the Arcus Majoris I am working on
is coming out.
