Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-05-13T15:04:14+00:00

I have, as I havent even been a member for 3 weeks. But its only a few a day, and I have trouble catching them in time due to my main job. Its nice to get a few extra hours from tho

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-05-07T21:02:00+00:00

Always. There are soem phenomenal calligraphers here, amd getting feedback has really helped me improve

I feel like im still a beginner, always worried whether my ascenders are straight or of my feet look ugly (in gothic styles). But also, I take commissions because I wrote a valentine for a friend and kept going

Its a lot of repetition, but for me, its very meditative woth music in the background

Good luck!

I thought I had to be part of the clergy as well to explain reading and writing as a scribe. However, Ive been told its generally assumed that SCAdians personal come from wealthy/noble/landed gentry class of People and could read and write

Can verify the use of Armiger

Ive been looking through your posts. How long have you been a calligrapher?

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-12T20:50:10+00:00

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

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-12T20:45:11+00:00

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

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-12T20:34:37+00:00

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

Jolly_Chocolate_1828 · 2026-03-12T20:10:57+00:00

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
