Around the world on a sheet of paper ... the most climate friendly kind of travel anyhow 😅. It was fun writing out all these places, some I’ve visited in the past, some I’ll probably never see in real life ... wishing you all a relaxed Sunday. Here it looks already like Spring 🌞! :: #calligraphy #calligraphie #kalligrafie #kalligraphie #caligrafia #calligraphyart #calligraphypractice #copperplate #englishroundhand #flourishes #flourished #flourishingpractice #englishroundhandscript #englischeschreibschrift #anglaise #inglesa #lightblue #calligraphygouache #gouache #drmartinsbleedproofwhite #flourishforum #federflugcalligraphy https://www.instagram.com/p/CLjt1FiAkLG/?igshid=tdyhgfzb1q8c

More practice and variations with the Ronde! I’ve also tested a bunch of nibs, before I wrote the Ronde first as a shaded script and then in a monolinear version which I find very cute too. I used a mix of Dr. Martin’s Bleed Proof White with gouache for a very light blue. It got me nicer hairlines on this black lined paper than the Ziller’s ink Periwinkle Blue (check my last post for an example of that pretty color). Swipe to the right to see some details! :: Btw if you don’t know what to write for practice, especially if you want to learn your capitals, writing lists of things is a time-honored method. In my book (in German and Japanese available) I’ve included alphabetical lists of flowers, cities, gemstones and colors as well some quotes for download. :: #calligraphy #kalligraphie #kalligrafie #caligrafia #calligrafriends #ronde #frenchronde #calligralove #learningcalligraphy #kalligrafielernen #historicalscripts #calligraphypractice #gouache #schminckegouache #calligraphygouache #drmartinsbleedproofwhite #flourishforum #federflugcalligraphy https://www.instagram.com/p/CLG0PyeA2Vw/?igshid=ij5fm65z6o54

I know that a return address stamp would save quite some time, but I sort of love writing it 🍁🌞☀️! #calligraphy #kalligrafie #handwriting #handschrift #spencerianinspired #spitzfeder #pointedpen #dontaskwhatnibplease #drmartinsbleedproofwhite #flourishforum #federflugcalligraphy

Long overdue letter to a very estimated pen pal, with an envelope improvised from Kraft paper, beautifully ornamented Italian decoration paper & Washi tape! :: Dieser Brief war schon lang überfällig, nun hab ich einen Umschlag aus verschiedenen Materialien improvisiert! #calligraphy #caligrafia #kalligrafie #spencerianinspired #handwriting #roundhand #cursive #whiteink #drmartinsbleedproofwhite #envelope #envelopecalligraphy #snailmail #brief #umschlag #flourishforum #federflugcalligraphy

I love writing with white, but on metallic paper even with Bleedproof White the hairlines get a bit fat! I tried McCaffery’s Ivory again after some time too, as I really like the off-white, but it’s less opaque than the Dr. Martin’s. Maybe I need to leave it open for some days, so that it gets a bit thicker. Has anyone tried that?
