    I picked out the letters of my sister’s name to stand out on this card. I would like to have the letters look more elegant. I think this will come with practice.

    Again – same problem with uneven lines. I think I may have to go slower. I enjoyed trying out colored pencil in this one.

    This was fun to do (even though it’s very hard to read the text!) Again the ink pooled quite a bit. I wonder am I rinsing the nib enough.

    This was just drawn using a regular pen. I wish I’d placed the flowers in a different position and somehow everything looks a bit “boxy”.

    This was “faux” calligraphy. It’s hard to get the lines to flow – so it looks very uneven. Good fun to experiment with colors though.

    This was my first attempt. Still such a lot to learn.

    It was hard to stop the ink pooling and the strokes are certainly wobbly and uneven.
