This quote not only applies to lettering practice, but to every new skill across the board. We live in an age where many people want to instantly arrive at the same skill level as someone else without doing the practice that makes this happen. This is a friendly reminder that everything takes effort and time. Start today by putting some miles on that practice.
This piece is also a reminder to those in my spencerian class that the assignment of writing at least one alphabet necklace per day is the first step in proficiency.
Design wise this piece illustrates how to use a band of color to divide the space and also to create a block of color as a way of including off hand flourishing....for you pointed pen fanatics. I like to work this way because I simply do not do flourished birds and animals. It does add a bit of sparkle. And of course, the time honored color combination of red, black, and white works every time it's tried. Just in case you're wanting to whip out some paper and create something today, this should give you some food for thought.
