Calligraphy 101
Practice, practice, practice!!
This morning I am at the breakfast table practicing pen strokes. I started with my beloved india ink but then decided I didn't want to waste it on practice so switched to a more generic type of ink.
Practicing is boring, boring, boring!

What kind of writing? Is that a calligraphy? And I really like your serving tray with drink. Tea or Coffee?
ReplyDeleteYour handwriting looks great to me so that practicing is paying off.
When your free come play at my desk.

Hi Norma thanks for popping in to see me. Is that a Turkish coffee I see? My husband is a fan. We have the little coffee pots hanging in our BBQ. What a great way to take the boring out of the practice. Hugs from Helen 107
ReplyDeleteWell see Norma, if my practicing turned out so nice, it would be like making backgrounds while learning...your script is already lovely. Am also a teeny bit impressed by the trouble you take over your cuppa!
ReplyDeleteOhhh! Great writing.
ReplyDeleteIs that Turkish coffee I spy? I have only had it once and it was such a treat...Love the little tray full of the coffee ritual goodies!
