Took up caligraphy a while ago. I'm not proficent at it, but had a go. http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x285/fonzie47/Caligraphy.jpg
That's lovely, Fonzie. I like writing and took penmanship (how old fashioned :eek: ) ... used to be quite good at one time but keyboards have ruined that. It's a beautiful dying art ... keep it up.
Thanks LOL. I don't practice enough due to the keyboard, as you said. Now and again I put nib to paper, but only to write the odd christmas or birthday card or when writing a cheque. I taught myself from a book and I must confess I don't apply the correct proceedure when making the letters. I remember it saying, that you must move the whole arm and rest the pen on the fingers and thumb, which I don't do. That's why I think the fingers start to ache when I do a long passage. Still, although it's not perfect, I enjoy looking at this type of writing.
