love letters

 he leaves me lovenotes...you know the kind...
handwritten, scribbled, and lovingly placed in surprise places
some are so tiny, yet packed with huge love
 he doodles. he says it's just a bunch of lines. I say bullshit. 
THIS. IS. ART.
I call it "Mattangling"
some call it Zentangle
he collects, refurbishes vintage fountain pens. he replaces the sac,burnishes the nib,builds these beautiful cases from cigar boxes!
 he converted an old portable sewing cabinet into his treasure chest!
and then late one magical night....he let me use his glass dip pen
I doodled in my art journal...
normally I paint, smoosh, cut & paste

I wrote a love letter with a sweet fine tip fountain pen

I am changed forever.

I call it fabulous. And I remember (with great fondness) all the little love notes you found in suitcase nooks and crannies and clothing pockets while we were whooping it up in San Miguel de Allende together. Sigh -- love is so magical. Why does a great love continue to elude me? I have so much to offer.

LIVING life!

It is beautiful art indeed...
I love the tiny love notes, how sweet.
Maybe I should try writing with a fountain pen... I can imagine how nothing else would seem the same!

All those fountain pens! Made my fingers itch to get mine out of the box they are in. Those pens have changed my day.
