Years ago I took a course in college in Italic Handwriting. I am re-reading the book from that course: "The First Writing Book, Arrighi's Operina," by John Howard Benson, Yale University Press. (There is now a self-portrait of such).
A goal this year is to re-learn this formation of letters. And words. A book of affirmations.
What a wonderful thing in these days of texting. My daughter received such a writing set for Christmas and I'm working on Chinese calligraphy myself. There's nothing like that made by hand.
OH!
