penmanship inspiration



janine of uppercase in calgary posted about a penmanship site last week on her tuesday type post. the iampeth organization has scans of rare books on penmanship and calligraphy as well as sketchbooks. posted (at high quality) for inspiration! i'm liking the one called, 95 lessons in ornamental penmanship. (see you in about six months)!

Absolutely beautiful! I can't imagine how much practice it would take to be able to write in these stunning calligraphy styles. I wish I could write like that.

And I like the new site design!
