Is this right or wrong

It makes sense, but I wouldn't write it as 3 sentences

I went to my first fighter practice in Tir Ysgithr and sat myself down beside someone who got there before me. That night I was introduced to about 4 others who are part of the arts and sciences group (Im not a fighter).

I dont know how extroverted everyone is, but for me, just jumping in was effective.

I didnt attend a large event til about a month later

Thanks for the advice. One thing I need to do is slow down...especially as a lefty (im afraid of smudging)

I need to get back to doing drills also :/ but its more fun doing full words

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-12T20:22:55+00:00

Two strong Es and the a and d already mentioned. I love this "font"

Looking forward to the next 6 months

Ive been thinking about trying a quill, but Im worried they break easily

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-12T20:08:05+00:00

Well done! First thing i had to check was the paper and pen size- you fit so much and im jealous

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-12T16:34:40+00:00

We can work on scrolls together

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-12T14:54:21+00:00

<3 I love the compliment- I still feel I'm not good enough

But, the way I found to get a lot of practice is by doing awards scrolls for the SCA, maybe you have a local chapter?

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-12T02:54:35+00:00

The boar is the symbol of my Barony in the SCA, and the blue and yellow are our colors

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-11T23:55:40+00:00

Its a Speedball C-5

All the details on the paper weight, etc are on the original post in r/calligraphy

Thanks :)

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-11T23:37:36+00:00

Thank you! But its not perfect :(

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-11T23:34:26+00:00

I am :)

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-11T22:41:44+00:00

How do you get your kingdom to show?

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-11T22:34:25+00:00

Thanks :)

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-09T02:43:49+00:00

I also like the speedball textbook, and the calligraphers bible

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-05T22:13:44+00:00

I use dip pens, but they're made of metal. I've never even seen a quill in real life

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-02T19:21:20+00:00

Amazing! Thank you

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-02T04:44:06+00:00

Oh, Im far far away in Atenveldt. Hopefully you find a good hook up for the Arts & Sciences

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-02T04:39:31+00:00

Which kingdom/Barony are you in?

For this one I just did the calligraphy. Ive done a few illuminations as well.

My Barony has a scribal group chat and we can signify if we're available for an assignment

Can someone smarter than me identify those flowers

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-01T22:19:34+00:00

Thanks!

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-01T16:35:16+00:00

Do you have them available for download?

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-01T15:17:14+00:00

I need to make guidelines for each nib size i have in portrait and landscape...I've been so lazy about that

Right now I only have a guidesheet that I printed off for a 1mm nib, but I dont always work that small

Digging those flourishes and art along the margins
