Tools & Supplies / Re: Drawers or Organizer for Pens, Paper, etc. non plastic

« on: October 22, 2020, 09:39:25 AM »

Thanks everyone for the replies, the photos, and the links. I now have some new items to lust over. I did go ahead and buy this https://www.stampnstorage.com/drawer-cabinet/. Not cheap but didn't break the bank. Can't seem to figure out how to reply to individual posts here. I'm out of Ashland Oregon. Personally I need my space to be organized and I'm willing to sacrifice some at-handness for that. Clutter just ain't my thing. I am really very appreciative of all your taking the time to respond.

Tools & Supplies / Drawers or Organizer for Pens, Paper, etc. non plastic

Hello friends. I need more order and easier accessibility for my supplies. I am looking for your ideas. I don't like plastic crafting drawers because they don't open and close easily. I am looking for products or hacks I haven't thought of. i have spent a few hours on researching and haven't been happy with what I have found yet. Thanks for your ideas!

Open Flourish | General Discussion / Buying Original Samples of American Penmanship

« on: September 17, 2019, 12:45:07 PM »

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I have been on here. I need a little help. I have been practicing Spencerian for 4 years now and would love to buy some original work by great penman of the past to hang up for inspiration. I don't know if any of you follow LetterQueen on Instagram but he and Masgrimes are an inspiration in terms of their penmanship but also the wonderful things they collect. Do any of you have helpful hints on where to find that sort of thing? I'm talking about signatures, diplomas, or letters? I have been on eBay but I think I am searching for the wrong things. Everything I type into the search bar gives books and calligraphy supplies as a result. Tips and tricks would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Fellow Flourishers,

I was wondering if anyone know of any resources available to learn how to write Sickels lettering? I have poked around on the interwebs and haven't found any.

Thanks!

Spencerian Script / Spencerian OP Spirals- How to?

« on: March 17, 2017, 08:14:50 PM »

I just love the use of spirals in words. Here are examples of what I am talking about https://www.instagram.com/p/BPrEIC0AV7-/

I have been copying the examples I have to learn and understand how to do them but have not found any material on how to build and practice this skill. I looked through the copybooks on iampeth and didn't see any examples. I want to learn how to do this starting with each majuscule. I would also like to learn advanced techniques I have seen like a spiral flourish on one line connecting to another letter in a line below. Any resources or suggestion would be appreciated!
