Journaling excerpt: Melissa started out by giving us exactly one minute to construct ducks from identical sets of half a dozen legos - I had even less time because I missed the instruction to begin. Less than a minute after I started cobbling together my sorry excuse for a duck, she was congratulating us on producing beautiful ducks, all different, but all requiring us to use eyes and hands to produce a duck from a mental image, to live with lego ducks that didnt exactly match that image and to resist having neighbor-duck envy. Over the next two days we worked hard at applying the lessons of the warm-up to producing Neuland. ...When Rudolf Koch designed Neuland in 1923, he carved nineteen different point sizes into metal. Melissa pointed out repeatedly that it was therefore impossible for each copy of an individual letter to match the other eighteen and that we should embrace variety in our work. We heard, There are no calligraphy police! enthusiastically and often.
