Inky T O D - Ink Pen Paper And Handwriting Musings #3 - Whose Handwriting Do You Like The Most?

[lgsoltek]

I have to say that my my mother's grandfather had extraordinary handwriting. I don't have a sample of his usual writing, but he developed an architect's hand in the early 1900s, and I love to try to imitate his delightful Art Nouveau letters. Here is a sheet he drew (for class?) around 1907 or so:

You guessed right! Even with a photo with so much colour distortion!

Halloween, I adore the Jungle Volcano you sent - it has been so much fun - thank you for sharing!

My pleasure! There's more where that came from...

Thank you, chromantic! I consider that hand still very much a work in progress, but I'm encouraged to hear it's readable, since I am cultivating it primarily as a correspondence hand.

 

I see too many examples of lovely handwriting on this site to cite them all, but SMK and Bobje in this topic (which is just chock-full of beautiful writing, as is last year's version of the same topic) stand out to me as a couple of people with beautiful writing that also looks practical as an everyday hand.

This is it .... this is it for me. Oh my goodness, eyegasms going on over here. I want my own woman shop to mirror this!!!!!! I may just print and frame this for my creative room.

Oh, my. You have to see it close up and personal. I don't know of another ink that is anything close to Jungle Volcano!

I should not be hanging out with this group of enablers!!!

 

I just went through my inks to prep some samples for a friend. It was a good reminder that I do not need any others. But then there is this ...
