Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone in Australia would consider being a pen pal of mine. I mainly write engrosser's but may soon be trying some other scripts as well. I am open to international pen pals as well however I think the cost of a letter and time it takes would hinder progress somewhat. That is my intention for this, so both ends can improve in the script they have chosen. Both through practice of the letters and some cc on the other end. This is also a reason that I am requesting someone who is currently learning or proficient at copperplate/engrossers. I know it's a lot to ask but I would be very grateful for anyone who would help me out here. I also don't mind someone who is starting out in the script. Even though I am relatively new to calligraphy in general I'd love to help out anyone who is brand new. I have some idea's for subjects of the letters if you can't think of any to start with.
exemplar of your chosen script both minuscule and majuscule. Accompanied with cc from yourself.
how you got started in calligraphy
cc of the other persons forms from their letter (make sure you take a photocopy before you send so you can look at what they are pointing out)
a comparison of your starting script vs now (photocopy of starting script)
you're favorite quote and why it's your favorite
an introduction of yourself and hobbies
There are many more but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. I may not that you can take as long as you want to reply. I know inspiration is a tricky thing to time correctly. Don't hesitate to send me a PM
Thanks for reading
