Learning something new can be soothing in these weird times! I actually tried my hands at embroidery together with my kids. For your inspiration, here are some more Modern Kurrent practice sheets (that I made actually before everything went in lockdown). You can see many of the minuscules are based on zigzag-like forms, so a »u« and an »n« can only be told apart by context and a sort of reversed lying comma over the u. The majuscules are related with Fraktur forms (I also invented some, or sort of combined them with Roundhand versions, as I did with some of the minuscules where the historical versions are very confusing for modern eyes). More on this in my book (sorry, only in German at the moment), or for a classical 19th century pointed pen Kurrent check the book »Ornamental Calligraphy« by George J. Becker, it has a beautiful exemplar. If you have experience with Copperplate, you should easily learn this! — Hoping you’re all safe and healthy! :: #calligraphy #kalligrafie #kalligraphie #kurrent #kurrentscript #kurrentschrift #modernkurrent #pointedpen #spitzfeder #calligralove #flourishforum #federflugcalligraphy https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ZijVfKxAY/?igshid=16hyxjlauafcg
