I don't have the best penmanship, actually my writing is more like chicken scratch. I would give anything to write like this! Maybe I will take a calligraphy class when I get back from the honeymoon. But I'm skeptical my writing can be better, it is pretty bad ;)
Calligraphy has such beautiful forms and shapes, it is such an art, don't you think? I've been so inspired by it lately, I thought I'd post a little collection! Enjoy.

More calligraphy inspiration coming from a guest

20 hello's:
Calligraphy is oh so lovely! Makes me want to write slowly and pretty, but hmm... it just becomes messy! ;-)
When I finally move into my new condo I definitely want to work on my calligraphy!! I think script writing is beautiful! It really can add a wonderful embellishment to something! =)
Wow, these are all amazing. It makes me want to snail mail more people. Hmmm, I think I will. Thank you for the inspiration. :)
love this! major sophisticated, eye-candy here!!
I'm also a victim of horrible handwriting and I appreciate beautifully written words so much. I have tried but admitted defeat. I remember a teacher telling me what a wonderful student I was but then asked why I thought my handwriting was so poor. Don't know.
I work on my calligraphy on my spare time...lots of my friends, family, work...love my penmanship...always compliment how neat it is. But when I am in rush...forget it...even I can't read it.
Oh I know. We had to learn calligraphy as part of our curriculum in 8th grade. It was painstaking but really fun and a skill I have to this day.
my writing is absolutely horrible! it looks like a guys handwriting.. my husband's is sooo much better than mine! ...that's why i had him write more of the wedding thank you cards! :P
such an amazing art - thanks for sharing these! I have a book on Calligraphy, but have never used it - maybe it's time to dust it off ;-)
i love the letters addressed to Poe and Shakespeare! Beautiful! i love experimenting with different ways of forming letters.
The last one is by Betsy Dunlap. A very unique calligrapher.
i love all of these, especially the first one! the writing is so pretty & romatic. it makes me wish we all wrote letters to each other agian, like in the old days... it's much more special than an email... ha!
calligraphy is such a great art form. i love it.
i wish i had calligraphy skills.. i spy on calligraphy kits every time i visit barnes and nobles.
Calligraphy is beautiful. ♥ These photographs are incredibly inspiring! I would love to write this beautifully, and indeed I aspire to. Anything can be done with practice, I'm sure you can do it, no matter how "poor" you consider your penmanship. :)
Very nice!
Adore!!!! I am also a huge fan of caligraphy and would love to write like this!!! But we don't have that kind of offer around here... :( beautiful collection, thank you for sharing! Hugs, Twiggs
You are right, I will definitely have to take some calligraphy classes, too!!!
What a treat of a post! I can't get enough of all this creative calligraphy!
This really inspires me to try and write more beautifully when writing my letters!
