Trying a new variation on my Copperplate script. Im trying a double-f variation that also makes for a. Interesting lead in to the "r" in my first name. Thoughts?

Also the capital F is new but still needs some work.

After a day worth of practice I have incorporated a few. New style idea I to my signature.

A comparison of the flex / style across 3 of my flex pens. The first I made myself from a 120 year old Waterman nib. The second is a stock falcon pilot, the last one is my hand customized Custom 912 (With Motishaw Spencerian modification)

My first real attempt with a dip pen, let alone an oblique dip pen. Gold and white lettering on black.

I decided to ink up my $200 franken pen (with a 120 year old nib) against my modern $600 hand customized pilot (Motishaw Spencerian modification).

This is the end result, each in a different color ink.

My first attempt at an illuminated text using 13th century script called Textura Quadrata.

Picked up some lovely money from pre-nazi Germany, the Weimar Republic as it was called. It was all very cheap and not a good investment or anything. I picked it up because if the lovely examples of calligraphy.

Most of these are from 1920's around the same period in germany.

I passed out pretty hard last night with my notebook and pens still out on my bed. Rolled all over them last night :(

An attempt at writing my shortest poem in Copperplate

While i can see many of the imperfections in my writing I'm still not sure how I could train do to improve it. Suggestions always welcomed.

A mini-mom of minimum might.

Written in Blackletter Gothic Textura script from 14th century.

A lot of people liked the last post so after a bit of practice here is a slightly improved version that is a little cleaner and more consistent

So a new variation on the word "minimum" written such that it is the same right side up as it is upside down. It is intentionally very hard to read.

For shits and giggles an even harder to read version. of my last post. Same script but with the spacing removed just for fun.

Haven't done any gothic lettering in a while. Tried a new style i had an idea for just now. Thoughts?

Anyone out there want me to write a personalized letter and send it to them for s snail mail penpal, let me know. If i get a flood of requests ill pick just one or two.

Finished writing my second penpal letter to a new person in France. I think I already see my handwriting improving through this exercise I think I'll keep you to it. Also still digging this deep black ink. My monogram has improved too!
