I've only been at this for the past few weeks..a work in progress. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
WOW, how pretty, Inky.
Well, following your advice last year I purchased this book. It's on my shelf, LOL! When I am done with Consistent Cursive I will be diving into this.
Thank you for sharing your long ago efforts. It is giving this gal hope. 
Cheers,

I never dove into this; but my how your writing/progress is making my heart rejoice this morning. I gotta laugh at self because I remember something YOU advised me many months ago: "try italic". Last year somehow italic came across my path and I wondered if it would be a skosh easier to pick up pleasing results than I have had with Copperplate? I commenced to purchase a set of Pilot Parallel pens, and promptly placed them on my monitor shelf here in front of me. Oh, and a couple instruction books (Italic Way to Beautiful Handwriting" by Fred Eager and some other book that I can not locate.
