Hey everyone,
I wanted to share some practice that's really been helping me train my eye and get new ideas for letter variations and layout designs. I've been studying the
Iampeth Scrapbook in some of my practice time. I even got a copy printed for myself from Staples Print & Copy, not the best quality, but it's nice to have at my desk and I've been forcing myself to stay off my phone and computer at night.
Here's my practice using page 3 as a reference. I have a lot to work on (critique is welcome!), but spending some time trying to copy letters by master penmen is really helping me see composition and spacing as well as the intricacies of different cap and lowercase styles in Spencerian.
There's a ton of gorgeous Spence in scrapbook 1; I haven't even looked at scrapbook 2 yet!
