Welcome Lynn! Your extensive background in design and illustration should help with learning calligraphy. Calligraphy is really drawing letters so once you learn the building blocks, I'm sure you will do fine. Calligraphy is definitely experiencing a surge in popularity! But I think you have the right idea in learning a good foundation. Some modern calligraphy styles may eventually become overused, but classic calligraphy and fresh design will never go out of style.

I'm glad you found us too! I hope you will share some of your work with us when you are ready. And again, welcome!  :)

Thanks Natasha, Roseann, Nickki, and Karen!

The exchanges are great! Everyone sends such beautiful work. So fun to get "real" mail and gorgeous mail at that! I'm pretty sure I am the postman's favorite house.  ;D  Will have to come up with the next "theme" soon!  ;D

Hi Lynn, my fellow Floridian!

I *love* this:
...the more I see, the more I want to lick it… I mean try it. :)
LOLOLOL!  ;D

I'm glad you are liking the tutorials! I'm working on the next capitals ... just received my walnut ink today so shouldn't be too long.

Again, welcome! Happy to have you here!  :D

That would be wonderful if you would start a topic. I'm sure I am not the only one who would love seeing it!

Got it. There is an app available to make forums more accessible on smartphones. I will look into it. I believe it is a mod or plugin I can install. But I will need to research it to make sure it is stable before installing it. Thanks for bringing this topic to my attention.  :)

I'm sorry about the stressful family situation, Daisy. But it is funny you should mention that about FB. Since starting the forum, I realized how many hours (and I mean HOURS) I wasted on FB every day. And most of the time, it wasn't really making me feel good but riled up about something silly. Now, I just breeze through once in awhile and catch all the good things going on. It's really made such a positive impact. Thank you for sharing!  :)

That's awesome Ellen!

I'm happy it has helped so much. It is amazing how one little thing can make such a big difference. I'm so glad it has helped. Your lettering is looking great!  :)

Welcome Jean!

I am so tickled you shared your beautiful work and pens with us! These are truly a delight to behold. Those pens! Swoon! Je les adore! (It's been many years since college French!) Your engraving is just lovely.

I love the thickness of the wood holders and the simple design of the wood next to the beautiful flourished flange. So unique!

I am fascinated with engraving. I have never seen it with color added. Very beautiful!

Again welcome to Flourish and thank you for sharing with us!
