Calligraphy Class!

Tonight I finished a 5 week calligraphy class at Millsaps College. I had so much fun! We spent the first 4 weeks learning Copperplate Calligraphy and one week on the Chancery Cursive Italic. I really enjoyed the Copperplate Calligraphy. It much prettier then the other we learned. It's going to take lots and lots of practice to get any good. I'm not very good yet, but I'm hoping with time, I will get better. My goal it to try and do my Christmas cards using my new talent. We'll see how it goes!! Anyways, here are a few pictures from my practicing.

Calligraphy Class!

Tonight I started a calligraphy class at Millsaps! It's part of the Community Enrichment Classes they offer every semester. It's a five week class, meeting once a week. This is a picture from day one. It's like Kindergarten all over again. At the beginning of each line is the letter and then you repeat it across the page. It's hard and tedious, but it was so much fun!
