You are very welcome! I'm glad you like it. I think it's helpful if someone wants to eventually do contemporary lettering to be able to have some examples they can trace over to get a feel for how it flows. It looks easy but it takes some forethought and a method.  :D

I find it really valuable to be able to watch the hand movements of an experienced artisan.  As I practice in my beginner's vacuum at my kitchen table, these types of videos remind me to relax and encourage me to focus on fluidity of movement.  Sometimes just seeing a letter on paper doesn't hit enough of my senses for me to learn comprehensively.  I would love to see more videos like this.  Thank you for taking the time to provide them!

Hard to believe that those all came from the same hand, bravo. I want to say that you are a natural, but that would slight your years of learning and experience!

Thanks ultraQuiche. I can pretty much mirror anyone's style (at least with pointed pen). I thought this was universal for calligraphers but now I realize not so much.  :)
