Hand Lettering - First Attempts!

Hello friends

First of all thank you for all the kind enquiries regarding Mum.

She has finished her course of treatment but

is a little under the weather.

I'm cooking a roast today to feed her up as she's lost a lot of

weight and really cannot afford to lose more.

She's been told to eat anything and everything - 

imagine that at this time of year! 

Earlier this week I mentioned I was starting something new -

brush/hand lettering.  

This is the book I purchased from Amazon basically because

 I liked the cover!  

I did also favour that it shows how to do the flowers and flourishes.

So here's my tiny bit of progress.

I posted the first picture on Instagram and one comment said

 I was very brave, I then thought 'oh no, it must be really bad!' 

I then switched to some lined paper and this helped for sure.

I found it hard to get that many swirly loops (technical term!) for the 'm'. 

Practice, practice, practice is definitely the key.

Right now I'm using one of the Sakura Micron pens.

It does feel nice but I'm investing in some Zig Brushable Pens,

good advice from a lovely lady at Spellbinders who also espied 

my efforts on Instagram!

So tiny steps with my new hobby but thought I would share.

I've had quite a few of you message me to say you are starting too.

We could have a a 'write-along'? 

Take care friends, it's weather for ducks out there at the 

moment so definitely time to stay indoors.
