They came from our backyard.)

Calligraphy and Autumn...

Hi everyone!! We just got back from Church a little while ago. You can really tell the summer weather is turning into autumn!!

Today, Mom and I went to calligraphy class. We finished learning the rest of the alphabet today. The alphabet style we are learning is called "sharpened italic." Here's an example of it.

Calligraphy Lessons

Mom and I had our first calligraphy lesson yesterday. There's 13 in a class. We will be having one lesson a week for the next seven weeks. Jacquie, the teacher, taught us the basic italic skeleton lettering. It was very interesting!! For the first 3-4 weeks of the lessons we will use pencils instead of pens. Each week will get harder, and on the 8th week will be doing a special project. I'm really looking forward to the next lesson!!

This is one of my first attempts at forming the letters.
