For my list (totally forgot what list # I'm in), I already have the letters done but our whole household have the stomach bug. As soon as I am better, I will mail them. I was planning on mailing them Monday but haven't been able to. I apologize for the delay.

Copperplate, Engrosser's Script, Roundhand Calligraphy / Re: Best Exemplar for Copperplate?

Ditto on what Elizabeth said. I'm also studying using Lupfer's lessons.

There are some really nice exemplars/lessons on http://www.zanerian.com/Lessons.html - Dr. Vitolo's website.  I know a few of us are working through the E.A. Lupfer lessons right now.

Hope this helps!!

Hi Erica,

Is this the newest edition for the Speedball textbook?

Thanks,
Marj

My favorite straight up Engrosser's Script example is the E.A. Lupfer exemplar in the Zanerian manual that Elizabeth mentioned.

My favorite exemplars with a little more flourish are the ones on page 20 of the Zanerian Manual by Horace G. Healey.

I also really like this Round Hand Exemplar which comes from the Speedball textbook: Round Hand

List 11 went out on the 10th, postmarked from sunny, warm Oahu, which I've since returned from.  The hotel had one of those mail chutes that goes between floors- I put them in on the bottom floor, just to be safe

Bianca,
I just got yours on Tuesday but haven't opened it yet. I am waiting for the rest of the list to come and then open all of them at once.

List 5: I got two cards yesterday: one from Claire and one from Marjorie. Claire, if you haven't gotten mine yet, you should know we were thinking along very similar lines! I worked very hard to open the envelope without damaging your exquisite seal. Marjorie, your book looks like a lot of fun (I had to look it up), and I'm curious to see how it matches with the color and script you chose. Your writing is adorable, like a pudgy toddler, and the bright magenta color reinforces it.

Clara,

Thanks for the kind words! I got yours but I haven't opened it yet. I am waiting for the last one from Danielle and then open them all at once.

I chose that color because of my favorite character (Simi) from the series.

Marjorie
