My new mini hobby ! Not car related...

**FIL 4822** · 16th August 2009, 19:27

Decided i wanted to do something arts and crafty but without it costing me a small fortune.

I like scetching things so took a twist on the pen/pencil theme and decided i'll give Calligraphy a go !

Here's one of my first attempts ....... What you think ? Don't laugh, it ain't as easy as you think !!!

Ink pen. I'll be trying feathers as we have Canadian geese behind our house on the canal.

Nice Mr Fil

had a go at this some time back at evening classes, you need some quiet time for it ....

I will only give you 5 Phil you needed the lines as a guide to keep the letters straight.

Still a very good effort though.
Will you be signwriting your motor then?.

Keep at it, I've used script before as I used to do a little sign painting. a good set of sable brushes helps. Good to see it being kept alive!
