WOYWW

WOYWW
(What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday)
Every Wednesday JulieDunnit hosts a gathering of crafters from all over the world to share what they are working on with a pic of our play area.  It's really fun to see all the different things people are working on from all over the world and I must say I've meet some very interesting people from Julie's site, Thanks Julie!!!!!!
 I'd like to thank all that stopped by my place and visiting!  I so enjoy reading your comments and encouragement!
I'm a little late posting this but maybe a few of you will still see it.
Last Friday I went to Sam's and saw this Calligraphy for beginners.... always wanted to try this and just never got around to it... this was the right price so I went for it. 

 I've been practicing and can tell I'm getting better but, Oh my do I  need the practice  for sure.  The top left was my frist page.... I just about gave up, but came back a few hours later and tried some more...and found if I get up and do something else and then come back I do better... So that's what I've been doing all week.
It came with a fountain pen but I can't get that to work as good as the flat felt pens I had from CM Years ago... so this week I'm going to find some real Calligraphy pens to try.... 
I'm going to try putting words together later this week... that should be interesting.........

I LOVE to read ALL Comments, so please leave one!!!!!
Thanks for stopping by again!
Hope you Enjoyed!!

That is something I never quite mastered. I tried a couple of times but just wound up biting my lower lip and never even making one word. Good luck!

I've got a calligraphy set our son and DIL bought me about four years ago, you've obviously had more success than I did, keep up the good work

I can see the progression. I've always found calligraphy to be harder than it looks! x

Good luck with the calligraphy. It is so beautiful. My aunty June could do it and tried to teach me many times. But i never had the patience to do the practice. You look of to a good start!

Calligraphy always looks so elegant and my writing always looks as though a mouse has run over the page! These practice sheets look so good though and I can definitely see your improvement - so good luck!
