Happy National Ampersand Day!

Let's see your ampersands! They can be regular ampersands, old-fashioned ones, "crossed epsilon" ampersands, whatever you want. I'll even take other logograms you can think of.

Oh I love this thread! Here's an ampersand I created on my ipad using a broad edge Procreate brush. I used this on a wedding invitation for a recent client. I did the calligraphy with pen and ink, but forgot to write the ampersand! I had to create an ampersand in a pinch, so my iPad came to the rescue!

I didn't know there was such a thing! Yay!

Here's a set I did a while ago, trying to come up with some fun ones.
