Gothicized Italic practice Slowly and calmly is key. Any impatience screws up the stroke and one wonky stroke makes a wonky letter.

Gothicized Italic practice The S and D are so incredibly hard! I feel like they are my nemesis no matter the script. I especially to not like the long horizontal top part of the D. It is hard to keep my hand steady, pen angle fixed and line straight💦 Pen: @pilot_corporation Pilot Parallel Pen 3.8mm Ink: bister inks Paper: FC Dream 80g #gothicizeditalic #texturafraktur #gothicizeditaliccalligraphy #calligraphy #calligraphydrills #calligraphy practice #calligraphybeginner #walnutink #ゴシック体 #ゴシックカリグラフィー #イタリックカリグラフィー #カリグラフィー #カリグラフィー練習 #カリグラフィー初心者 #gothicizeditalicwithnina #texturafrakturwithnina
Gothicized Italic practice I started practicing caps. Not that miniscules are easy, but these caps are bigger, so I feel like little mistakes/wobblesare more noticeable. On the other hand, consistency is much more important in miniscules. I was gifted some bister inks this past weekend and tried them out for practice. Look at those beautiful rustic looking colors blending together! Makes practice colorful 😊 Pen: @pilot_corporation Pilot Parallel Pen 3.8mm Ink: bister inks Paper: FC Dream 80g #gothicizeditalic #texturafraktur #gothicizeditaliccalligraphy #calligraphy #calligraphydrills #calligraphy practice #calligraphybeginner #walnutink #ゴシック体 #ゴシックカリグラフィー #イタリックカリグラフィー #カリグラフィー #カリグラフィー練習 #カリグラフィー初心者 #gothicizeditalicwithnina #texturafrakturwithnina
Gothicized Italic with Nina! This was my homework submission for Nina’s critique. Notice the first two caps are a pen width too tall and I spelled my name wrong 😂 Lots of areas for improvement but not bad at all after less than a week of this script. Now that class is officially over, I’ll restart with the basic strokes and drills to build consistency!

Gothicized Italic with Nina! Some caps class work. Apparently these are Fraktur style caps, but I am not versed enough in broad edge scripts to be able to tell. The longer strokes are harder to make, but get easier the more I do them. I’m going to need a lot more practice before these letters actually look good, but not bad at all for a first try.

Snippets of class notes. It’s almost a wrap for Fraktur & Flourishing lessons with @thegentlepenman. We still one more Q&A session this Thursday and one more set of homework assignments. Confession: I only teach Fraktur so that we can flourish the capitals. That’s really what I’m here for 😂. #keepinitreal #justkidding #butnotreally #frakturandflourishwithnina #texturafrakturwithnina #thegentlepenman #fraktur #blackletter #gothiccalligraphy #blacklettercalligraphy
Here we go! The 4th and final Fraktur & Flourish lesson for @thegentlepenman. We’ve spent the last 3 weeks learning basic Gothic Textura minuscules, Fraktur minuscules, and Fraktur capitals. It’s a lot to cover in just 3 weeks, but the class has kept up well with unwavering enthusiasm! Tonight, we will learn some basic ways to embellish and flourish our capitals 🥳. I’m pretty sure everyone signed up for the class just for the flourishing part 🤣😏. #iseeyou #justkidding See you all in a few hours! #frakturandflourishwithnina #texturafrakturwithnina #gothictextura #fraktur #blackletter #blacklettercalligraphy #frakturcalligraphy #broadedgecalligraphy #beboldwithbroadedge

Sharing a B that I wrote this morning with my buddy Janet @michiko.craft during our monthly live Casual Calligraphy Chat here on Instagram. We touched up on the topic of perfectionism and how crippling it can be to never feel like your work is good enough to share/post and the voluntary pressures we take upon ourselves to create amazing things regularly to “keep up”with our peers and colleagues. Thank you for the support this morning 💕. #perfectionistanonymous #writeforfun #frakturandflourishwithnina #texturafrakturwithnina #gothictextura #fraktur #blackletter #flourish #flourishes #flourishing #pilotparallelpen

🏡 Decor Project No. 2 Making a wall calendar with the numerous pieces of paper that the movers used for packing. I only had enough paper for January to September😜 It seemed a little wasteful throwing away all those paper so I decided to save some for some paper projects. In the end, I could have saved more cos the cleaner wanted some to clean the windows and I didn’t have enough paper for her🤭 Also channeling my inner child for traditional Chinese Calligraphy. I used to take lessons for Chinese Calligraphy paintings when I was a child. I don’t recall why though.

Here comes to the slow progress of my final project for the Flights of Fancy Master Class with Heather @heathervictoria1 @thegentlepenman This is an ambitious idea for me as the verse is much longer than other works that I normally do. ➡️Swipe left to see my short video for the painting process of the birdies at the corners. 🐦 🦜 ❤️ 📖 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Corinthians 13:4-7 哥林多前書 13:4-7 愛是恆久忍耐；又有恩慈；愛是不嫉妒；愛是不自誇，不張狂， 不做害羞的事，不求自己的益處，不輕易發怒，不計算人的惡， 不喜歡不義，只喜歡真理； 凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐， #masterclassflightsoffancy2023 #flightsoffancy #heatherheld #heathervictoriaheld #thegentlepenman #modernscript #moderncalligraphy #pointedpencalligraphy #dippencalligraphy #fraktur #blackletter #texturafrakturwithnina #gothicizeditalic #wedgebrushflorals #wedgewithjen #thecalligraphyhub #calligraphyaddict #calligraphycommunity #calligraphymasters #keepwriting #penmanship #watercolorartist #hkcalligraphy #hkcalligrapher #metalliclettering #metallicwatercolor #flourishing #カリグラフィー #水彩画

I am so glad to know that the belated birthday card to my dearest calligra-friend Tico finally arrived safely...sorry that it was nearly one month late 😛🙈 This inhabited letter piece was inspired by Tico's adorable cats Teddy and Luna, and of course my teacher Heather during the master class journey. I was unable to draw a cat well 🙊 so I tried to draw the back view of a cat sitting on the letter T. Hope you do not mind dear.🥰 There is one and a half month to go, but I am so excited to meet everyone in person finally in the IAMPETH conference this year! @tico.calligramotion @heathervictoria1 @thegentlepenman #masterclassflightsoffancy2023 #heathervictoriaheld #heatherheld #thegentlepenman #alphabetgarden #alphabetchallenge #36daysoftype #floralwatercolor #watercolorartist #watercolorlettering #lettering #letteringart #letteringartist #fraktur #broadedgecalligraphy #blackletter #pointedpencalligraphy #texturafrakturwithnina #moderncalligraphy #modernscript #iampeth #snailmail #keepwriting #calligraphyaddict #calligraphycommunity #thecalligraphyhub #hkcalligrapher #hkcalligraphy #カリグラフィー #書道好きな人と繋がりたい
Hello, May！ ‘’May your troubles be less and your blessings be more, and nothing but happiness come through your door.‘’ Swipe to the left to see the videos for the making of this piece😛🫣 As I often receive enquiries about my works and tools i am using, so here I am trying to share the information with you. If you would like to see more videos like this, please feel free to let me know and leave some comments. I will make some when I have time😅 Forgive me as I am really unprofessional at taking videos with limited tools and bad lighting 🥹🙈 Also as you can see, I am not confident in myself and always thinking about spacing, letter forms etc. every time when I am writing each stroke😅. However, it is also a good chance for me to review my writing at a different perspective 😬 #hellomay #fraktur #texturafrakturwithnina #frakturcalligraphy #blackletter #gothic #broadedgecalligraphy #moderncalligraphy #modernscript #metalliclettering #metallicwatercolor @thecreativekinds #learncalligraphy #keepwriting #calligraphyaddict #calligraphymasterschallenges #thecalligraphyhub #calligraphycommunity #flourishing #offhandflourishing #theflourishclub #fearlessflourishing #hkcalligrapher #hkcalligraphy #calligraphyarts #lettering #letteringart #ilovecalligraphy #カリグラフィー #書道好きな人と繋がりたい

On a personal note, I’ve been quite busy house hunting for our permanent home (we are in a rental house at the moment). It’s exciting to peek through potential homes. Im also slowly working on this other project I’ve started a while ago and plan to finish it up tonight. So stay tune for it. Another gilding project!

Envelope made and sent!! Too bad I couldn’t capture the glittering outlines but it was gorgeous hehe Learning Blackletter expanded the horizon for addressing to guys. I love it.

Anywayyyyyy, here is the “After” project after taking Nina’s Fraktur & Flourish class @anintran #frakturandflourishwithnina #gentlepenman @thegentlepenman This class was one of the best class I’ve taken!!! I highly recommend it if you ever come across it!! I sent this one out to my dear friend’s hubby who recently got a new great job. It was such a great project to work on. I had a ton of fun. I will share the envelope and the card I made with this piece later! I am doodling a lot as you know but I am itching to switch the gear and practice Fraktur after I finish the project I am working on right now (yes another project 🙌🏼🙌🏼🤓).

Hello everyone! I promise this is the last post of this series (for now)!! Here is what the whole thing I put together. My snail mail projects always takes seriously long time and when I finish it, I want to document the progress and celebrate for a little bit. I would love to create and share it with others. Make friends smile and that’s all I am here for. I am hoping to share the “after” the Fraktur & Flourish class by Nina soon. I completed the project and just waiting for the recipient to receive it. 😊 I hope you are having a great weekend! (Luna definitely learned the cool pose from Teddy.

(Edited & reposting: sorry for those who commented on the previous version of this post!) This envelope was made before I took Nina’s Fraktur & Flourish class last weekend because I was super hyped about it. I just had to try it! And it was so much fun to Flourish even though I had no idea what to do. Just winging it is sometimes very rewarding haha! I loooooved using Blackletter to address name then pairs with my version of upright copperplate. I’ve been loving upright copperplate to address envelope too. Do you have your favorite script to address envelopes?! I am working on “after” blackletter Flourish piece at the moment so I can share how properly learned Flourish looks like. Stay tuned!! Envelope made for the birthday card exchange hosted by @anniejamiesondesigns and for the very best @m.m._manna (Walking into this office to find Teddy laying on my desk after lunch… I gave in and let them be on the window side of my desk as it get me sunlight.

Still going with the #dailyquotejournalproject Just continuing to have fun. The 1st/2nd photos are Fraktur and 3rd/4th ones are Gothicized Italic. Can you tell the difference?! I love both script equally!! I took the Fraktur & Flourish class over the past weekend and I just can’t stop writing Fraktur now. I have long way to go but I will just have fun and learn along the way. I started broad edge script to take a break from pointed pen scripts as I tend to get too serious with pointed pen. Broad Edge practice has been so much fun 🤩 and now I kinda dig it! Feels like this year will have lots of Blackletter learning. No worries if you are here for my copperplate, I will get back to it at some point. I haven’t forgotten how much I love copperplate. (5th photo is Luna sleeping by herself. When Teddy isn’t sleeping next to her, I am made to realize how tiny she is. She was super tiny kitten and almost died while she was tiny baby. I’m so happy she is thriving with us.) #gothicizeditalicwithnina #gothicizeditalic #texturafrakturwithnina #frakturandflourishwithnina #fraktureflourishwithnina #Fraktur #textura #doodleborders #dailyquotejournalproject #broadedgecalligraphy #broadedge #broadedgepencalligraphy #broadedgescript #gothic #gothicletter #balckletter #broadpen #gothicscripts #broadpencalligraphy #gothiccursive #alphabet #beginnercalligraphy #learnbroadedge #learnblackletter #growandglow #fallinlovewiththeprocess #dowhatfeelsgood #practicemakesprogress #calligratherapy #pilotparallelpen
I’m excited to attend my first Letters California Style (@societyforcalligraphy) conference as a student in Janet Takahashi’s (@janettakahashi) “Letter of Whimsey and the Art of Finding Creativity” class this Friday through Monday, February 17-20, 2023. In the past, I have taught “Spencerian Capitals Variations”, a mini class, for Letters 2018 and a “Pointed Pen Flourishes Unraveled” class for Letters 2020, but this will be my first time attending as student and I’m all giddy to be learning among friends and colleagues, and to be surrounded by amazing teachers for 4 days! I hope to do some live sessions and share lots of stories while I am there.

Here I made block writing for Fraktur and Textura to record where I am with them after Day 01 of the class I am taking. Fraktur & Flourish by Nina hosted by Challigraphy of Pittsburgh guild Fraktur is hard! I am learning to twist the pen to write Fraktur which I have never tried before. This is fun but my fingers are dead for tonight. Can’t want for tomorrow’s class. Majuscule and Flourishing!!! 😍🤩🤓💕🙌🏼 (Luna supervising me for a photo shoot and sleeping at the same time. Multi-tasking at its best.) #texturafrakturwithnina #frakturandflourishwithnina #fraktureflourishwithnina @anintran @calligraphypittsburgh #Fraktur #textura #broadedgecalligraphy #broadedge #broadedgepencalligraphy #broadedgescript #gothic #gothicletter #balckletter #broadpen #gothicscripts #broadpencalligraphy #gothiccursive #alphabet #beginnercalligraphy #learnbroadedge #learnblackletter #growandglow #fallinlovewiththeprocess #dowhatfeelsgood #practicemakesprogress #calligratherapy #PilotParallelPen

“When I met you I found me” A lot many times meeting the right person makes everything right. More than external things it handshakes a real person in you. I’m lucky to find that person in my life. #whenimetyouifoundme #texturafrakturwithnina #blackletter #fraktur #gothiccalligraphy #blacklettercalligraphy #broadedgecalligraphy #pilotparallelpen #calligraphylettering #broadedgecalligraphy
There is no better word than sorry, when you really mean it. But has no value when it’s overused, and no matter how beautiful it’s articulated. #texturafrakturwithnina #blackletter #fraktur #gothiccalligraphy #blacklettercalligraphy #broadedgecalligraphy #pilotparallelpen

And just like that one month of 2023 is over. Did you feel that it went by too fast or was it slow for you? For me it was pretty fast, usually Jan goes by very slow but not this time. I thought this was a good quote for mid week motivation as well as to welcome new month 💙❤️💙 . . .

Happy birthday to Yukimi Annand @yukimi_annand, my dear teacher and mentor. 💐💕✨
Although I am in the middle of teaching an Introduction to Copperplate class with @thegentlepenman, I am squeezing in a little bit of Fraktur flourish studies from “George Bickham’s Penmanship Made Easy” book each day to prepare for my upcoming Fraktur & Flourish workshop with @calligraphypittsburgh on February 11-12, 2023. 📌 Register by February 3, 2023.

A little bit of time spent to study the Blackletter style of Rudolf Koch this month (inspired by Andrea Wunderlich @wunderliche_welt). #31daysofcalligraphypractice #rudolfkoch #wilhelmklingsporgotisch #wilhelmklingsporschrift #texturafrakturwithnina #gothicscript #blackletter #pilotparallelpen
Sometimes, when the paper is not suitable for ink, I find the courage to “play” and let go of expectations and perfection. I have an irrational fear writing of “good” paper and messing it up 😮💨. #thestruggleisreal #texturafrakturwithnina #gothicizeditalicwithnina #fraktur #gothicizeditalic #broadedgecalligraphy #broadedge #broadpen #pilotparallelpen #blackletter #gothicletters #flourishesunraveled
Inspired to use Rudolph Koch’s Wilhelm Klingspor Gotisch Blackletter typeface as my exemplar for day 10 of #31daysofcalligraphypractice. #texturafrakturwithnina #wilhelmklingsporschrift #rudolfkoch #blackletter #gothicscript #broadedgecalligraphy #calligraphy #flourishes #flourishesunraveled #pilotparallelpen #broadedge #erasetoosoonclub
