**Schönschreibmeister – A Calligraphy Master’s Album from the 16th Century**

“The manuscript appears to be a compilation of calligraphic examples by one of the originators of early fraktur scripts, Johann Neudörffer the Elder (1497-1563), to whom this album is dedicated._”

Apple Notes on iPad, writing with the pen, when it takes your handwriting and then re-inserts it every so slightly, but unnecessarily different. Definitely auto, but not refined. It can be switched off! In the tools palette, the … menu, look for the "Auto-refine Handwriting" switch. #iOS #handwriting #preference

“When I draw comics and graphic stories, I need my #handwriting for dialogue, captions, and text. Traditionally, cartoonists would do all this #lettering by hand, but a lot of us just turn our handwriting into a #font.”

#dailyhandwriting 23, Are you a cat person or a dog person?

I am a familiar person, and adore it when kindred spirits transcend species designation, regardless of fur, scales, or feathers.

So, I've written a little ode to familiars instead.

#dailyhandwriting 22, 10 green things.

Decided to go with minerals.

#acrylicpaintnib

rev. queen of pentacles
10 of cups
unwater of earth, manifestation of all stages of the cycle of water.

Following on the page from 18., some new colors have entered the mix.

My question now is, if acrylic paint is one step away from being awkward ink, is a nib therefore the most excellent small round brush? Is a nib the best painting tool for details? Will I make a second pen set reserved for oil paints?

'Alan Slattery, 67, took it upon himself to rob the Nationwide Building Society in Eastbourne, England, but the handwriting in his demand note was so bad that staff there could not decipher it and he left empty-handed.'

#DailyHandwriting 10, write down 10 varieties of flowers.


Funkiest Latin flower names I could think of. Additional suggestions very welcome.

#DailyHandwriting 9, What would you take for lunch in the park?

I snuck in the following more obscure words:

- Epicure: one with sensitive and discriminating tastes.
- Halcyon: Idyllic time.
- Harbinger: something that foreshadows a future event.
