decorated L , a photo by long village lettering on Flickr. Just back from a wonderful conference in Wisconsin for penmen/women from around the world! One little exercise at a class. Loved this simple method for putting on real gold leaf! Thanks to Harvest Crittenden!

Calligraphy Envelope

Making progress . . . signed up for an exchange with the  International Association of Master Penman, Engrossers, and Teachers of Handwriting . . .  I have the outer envelopes addressed; now, I need to work on enclosures. Love the idea of writing formal copperplate on a diagonal.  I think this would be beautiful for a wedding invitation!  Even when the state does not fit on the line, the layout looks lovely split up.
