Anyone else practicing their Twisters from Michael Sull's new book?! So fun!

I can’t even read 90% of that!  It’s beautiful, but too “ornate” for me!  I love flourishing & I am trying to get better at it!  It’s a process & because my brain is strongly “right brained” (Think words/literature/history, etc.) I have to work hard at flourishing!!

Yes, I agree Janis! @JanisTX It’s very difficult to read. I would not use them very frequently but they are great practice in terms of developing the muscle memory for ovals and to develop equal spacing between the loops. I had to practice these several times to get smooth ovals with good spacing.

Well that's strange. My brain is 'left thinking'. True!
I'm left thinking if I'm ever going to get to grips with these pesky bloody miniscule r's. >:(
I'm left thinking if I should try to use a 'straight' dippy instead of 'Coral' for a little while. :-\
Oh, and I'm left thinking if I should gloat when the Yankees whoop those Dodgers next season. ;D
Laughter is definitely the best medicine, but Wolves destroying WBA runs laughter close, and the Yankees winning the World Series is ................ laughter is the best medicine, remember?

Lovely writing Erica!
I have seen  many in Master penman  "Connie Chen "
She was writing those in her old writing  most Often . I don't know if she is using those now.

There's a misnomer if ever there was one.

Those are really pretty @Erica McPhee
I have Michael Sull’s Learning to Write Spencerian Script but not the new one. Maybe when I’m more advanced it will be worthwhile to take a shot at these.
