"Mille Grazie" in Welsh for a dear friend. :-) Walnut and sumi inks, hand cut broad bamboo pen. Thanks to Manny @abcdsign for the lovely walnut ink! # The bamboo feels very stiff after lettering with a brush but it has its own charms! # #calligraphymasters #calligraphy #lettering #fraktur #italic #zapf #neudorffer #handlettering #blacknwhite_perfection #blackletter #gothic #alphabets #emptiness_is_a_design_pattern (at Galena Design Foundation) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo2VxcCl_Wt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=on35tw1d9d6c

Late night tiny writing. I'd love to teach a workshop on micro calligraphy. #tiny #writing Brause 0.5mm, zinc white gouache on "Crush" cherry cover stock https://www.paperpapers.com/favini.html #astrology #astrocalligraphy AstroCalligraphics.com #carljung #jung #calligraphymasters #calligraphy #lettering #fraktur #italic #zapf #neudorffer #handlettering #blacknwhite_perfection #blackletter #gothic #alphabets #emptiness_is_a_design_pattern (at Galena Design Foundation)

#gilding experiments somewhat more successful on the gum ammoniac today. Lots of breathing on the writing, lots of careful burnishing through glassine... Still not right, but at least it's sticking to the forms. #goldleaf #13thC_recipe #goldfever #gold #calligraphymasters #calligraphy #lettering #fraktur #italic #zapf #neudorffer #handlettering #blacknwhite_perfection #blackletter #gothic #alphabets #emptiness_is_a_design_pattern #MakeAMindfulMark #AstroCalligraphics #astrology AstroCalligraphics.com (at Galena Design Foundation)

Getting back to my brush letters on newsprint... I like this S, not based on any specific model, but an attempt to understand the underlying principle of construction.

The art of Maestro @yves_leterme # Very pleased indeed that spontaneous serendipity and good fortune will allow me to join the @chicagocalligraphycollective retreat at the end of April with this great scholar and teacher! #meanttobe # I love sleep-over parties! Raiding the fridge! Sneaking out in the wee hours to paint letters on things :-) # #calligraphymasters #calligraphy #lettering #fraktur #italic #zapf #neudorffer #handlettering #blacknwhite_perfection #blackletter #gothic #alphabets #emptiness_is_a_design_pattern (at Galena Design Foundation)

Quill in hand! Studying Medieval Letters! First day was learning to see negative spaces, and the visual rhythm of the manuscript writing... Making body-scale marks and scaling down... Also, reviewing Edward Johnston and his Seven Constants and the Three Principles of Formal Penmanship — sharpness, unity and freedom. # Second day, writing with the hand-cut quill, a variety of fine paper samples, Chinese ink, sharpening the pen-knife, and a virtual tour of some treasures of the British Library and beyond! # @britishlibrary #Anglo-Saxon Chronicle #harleyms2904 #lindisfarne # This workshop will be offered again in Chicago the weekend after Easter April 7-8. See details at @chicagocalligraphycollective web site under member-run classes. # Still a few places available! # #calligraphymasters #calligraphy #lettering #fraktur #italic #zapf #neudorffer #handlettering #blacknwhite_perfection #blackletter #gothic #alphabets #emptiness_is_a_design_pattern (at Lettersong Calligraphy Studio and Gallery)

I was mentioning how much I love seeing people's #sketchbooks... (of course with @jokeboudens it's hard to tell that it's not final art for a big client!) Here are two recent pages, freely drawn with the Micron pen... A bit off of my normal trail, which I'm happy about! #calligraphymasters #calligraphy #lettering #fraktur #italic #zapf #neudorffer #handlettering #blacknwhite_perfection #blackletter #gothic #alphabets #emptiness_is_a_design_pattern #MakeAMindfulMark #drawing #letters (at Galena Design Foundation)
