I'm not a calligrapher; nor do I claim to be one. As a kid, I always wanted to dip a pen into ink! My wish was granted today with my new calligraphy pen...
Do you find yourself writing words and doodling with letters when you're on the phone? I think that's a habit I have formed since who knows when! I just like letters and the letter form. There's something about writing letters that is relaxing to me.
Since we are in the age of computers, I seem to find myself writing less and typing more. Calligraphy and cursive hopefully won't join the dinosaurs just yet! It's such an awesome form of art that I think everyone should learn. I teach cursive to my students and as much as people say you'll never use cursive... we'll... it's good to learn how for the sake of the craft, if nothing else.
I wrote "just be" as I was practicing and thought I'd share. It's not perfect, but I did enjoy my hour of just writing. I think I would have kept going if only I didn't break the nib! Time for a new replacement :)
So today... enjoy and just be.
