{Warning picture heavy post.}
Hullo there everyone, have been absent a lot of late - BUT today is time for WOYWW - DO hop over to What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday over at Julia's blog HERE....
Finally after much procrastinating, am posting the calligraphy works by my final lot of students doing the calligraphy course (which have been teaching for years now). I've decided this will have to be the last year as health suffered.
However the results are such a great blessing, and the LORD graciously answered much prayer, for which I am very grateful.
So here is my Desk a few weeks back!
So here is my Desk a few weeks back!

As normally include some Oz photos here are some photos of a Rainbow lorikeet feeding in our garden, and just loving the dwarf Coral tree/ Erythrina.
Well, in haste, so
must close.
I thank you so much for taking
the time to pop over for a peek and chat; and I pray the LORD may bless your
day wherever you may be! I will return comments as able but I DO appreciate them so very much if I dont get back to you,
Shaz in Oz.x
The students' work is fabulous! Thanks for sharing, Shaz! And thanks for sharing the lorikeet feeding photos, too! Brilliant! Happy WOYWW and have a wonderful week! Hugs, Darnell #17

ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to see what scriptures they chose as well.
Your garden piccies are fab as always...that bird is lovely!
Sorry to hear your health has been an issue this year. Your students did you proud as always. #31
ReplyDeleteThe students did well - but what a shame that you have to stop! But, your health comes first, so it will be the right decision. Take care and keep sharing your desk!! Helen 34
ReplyDeleteLovely Calligraphy creations but the bird stole the show, he really is a beauty, we have such beautiful animals in OZ we are so lucky.

Welcome back Shaz, clearly a good teacher based on the results. The students work is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures of local vegetation are wonderful, makes me really wish we could visit Australia.
Hope you are slowing down now and letting the Lord bring rest and healing.

You must be a fabulous teacher Shaz, to have your students do such beautiful work. You must be quite happy with them all. The lorikeet is beautiful. I can't imagine living somewhere where such a gorgeous bird would be in my backyard.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Talitha, Timothy, James, Katelyn, Brianna - well done. Your work is simply beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWell done to the teacher as well - your skill in passing on this beautiful method of writing is very obvious in the work produced!!
Trusting your health is recovering after the stresses of being in a classroom again, Shaz. I know I couldn't go back in there now!
That bird is amazing. The plant grows in your garden??? Wow!
Take care - good to see your name on the list this week.

Hi Shaz,
ReplyDeleteLovely work by your students! You must be very pleased with them.
We get lots of parrots here mainly eating the camellias!
About the bargain stamps. I know, the maths sounds wrong, but all three were originally $29.95 EACH (daylight robbery), but two were marked down to $4 and the other to $5 and then everything on the Sale table was half price again ... and that's how we get $6.50 :)
This shop charges top prices so I usually only go there when I go to the GP who is across the road and then I make a beeline for the back of the store where the sale table is, and sometimes you can be "lucky" :)
Hope your health is improving?
And thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate that,

Well done to all your pupils, what great work they produced!
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of the parrot, he's just like the one that Vonny's painting at the moment!!
Hugs, LLJ 25 xx
Wow Shaz you can be so very proud of your students, I have looked back at the link to when they first started, they have come such a long way.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the Rainbow Lorikeets don't wake you up to early in the morning,here they wake us about 4.30.
Have a wonderful week.
hugs
sharon :)
Shaz,
ReplyDeleteThe students thrived under your care, This work is lovely. I always want to learn calligraphy, took one little 2 hour course and got nowhere fast. I enjoy the birds, we have nothing here so colorful. Thank you for sharing your students' beautiful creations with us this week. It is an honor for us to have you visit.
Blessings,

Lovely work you have taught there Shaz you are lucky to have such talented pupils, I'm sure they will miss out in the future.
ReplyDeleteWe'd have to pay good money at the zoo to see gorgeous birds like that over here
Hello My Friend, what immense pleasure you must have got over the years from seeing youngsters turn out such beautiful work as this. You should be so proud of yourself for having given them so much. And proud of them too.
ReplyDeleteHugs - Neet xx 2ps love the bird, cannot imagine seeing such colour in the gardern
Hello Shaz ... long time no speak due to my absence from blogland for a little while! Great to be back and grabbing the chance to see more of your wonderful calligraphy! And not forgetting all those fabulous photo's and cards ... happy WOYWW'ing & crafting. Love Debbie #56 xXx
ReplyDeleteThe student's works are beautiful - you must be a wonderful teacher Shaz.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of the rainbow lorikeets. They are such characters and I love having them in our garden too.
Sorry haven't been around much. My laptop developed a major fault last weekend so spent an extraordinary amount of time trying to fix it. I got it up and running again finally but then it kept shutting down randomly which damaged the hard drive - and so the story goes on and on - takes so much time to fix these things.......anyway, trying to catch up as best I can.....
{{hugs}} and prayers
