Interesting post! I’d love to improve my hand lettering for various craft projects as it seems to have devolved over the years. Being a “lefty” doesn’t help nor does getting older. I guess I’ll have to take some of your advice and practice more. When we were in Japan, we saw examples of beautiful calligraphy, especially from the Buddhist monks, That is really an art and way above my pay grade. Thanks for such an interesting post, Angie. Have a great weekend!
