i just posted *flourish no. 1* to my blog.
i will keep the lessons very simple and short
and geared towards beginners who have not had
the opportunity to study at an International Calligraphy Conference
or an IAMPETH convention.

Hi everyone:
I just joined FF and am learning how this works. As you can see from my blogs, I am a big fan of envelopes. They are a perfect way to practice while still making something useful.
I have taught calligraphy and creative lettering for 15 years so my blogs are geared towards beginners. I try to feature styles and techniques that are pretty simple. I receive a lot of mail and post envelopes from my penpals, so some of the examples are way beyond the beginner level, but they serve as inspiration. My blog readers were very interested in having more lessons and I will be steering them towards FF and the wonderful tutorials that are available here.
Happy Lettering
Jean Wilson
