Hello from Louisville, KY!

[Noelle G.]

Hi everyone!

My name is Noelle, and I'm so glad to have found this community! I took my first pointed pen class almost 20 years ago (English Roundhand), and fell in love with it immediately. I've used it here and there since then, but have only recently become serious about practicing calligraphy on a regular basis. I've been learning broad edge pen these last two years, so I've neglected my pointed pen a bit during that time. Erica, your tutorials have been a wonderful source of review. Thank you!

I find that calligraphers are some of the most generous people in the world, and this forum is further proof!

Glad to be with you all!
Noelle

Thanks Noelle! We have many broad pen/pointed pen crossovers here. Welcome to Flourish!

Hi Noelle~ I think that in 2017, the IAMPETH conference will be in Louisville, so you can have a week of pointy pen fun without having to travel.  Lucky you!

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

Ev, I'm planning on making Louisville 2017 my first IAMPETH conference, and I'm very excited!

Best,
Noelle

Welcome Noelle.  I love everybody on this forum.  They are always so nice an encouraging.  I am a Kentuckian (from Hopkinsville) and living in Tennessee.  One of the cool things about this forum is that there are people from all over the world.
