luciabOkay, awittykitty outdid herself today.
I am prepping to do calligraphy on the new scroll. I've practiced the text a couple of times and I'm working on the spacing, using the A-R method (notice the hyphen) explained in the May 14 entry, and I'm pretty happy with the results.
I just pulled out a book my original mentor gave me. The book is Explicatio Formarum Litterarum: The Unfolding of Letterforms. I guess it's a book on paleography; it isn't just all calligraphy hands but includes timelines, with special sections on the ampersand and abbreviations, for example. Each page folds open to show several examples of different texts of that particular time period. I'm using the ampersand info this time. It's all way cool. I'll bet my apprentice will really enjoy it when she comes over this week. Heh.
