My Sorry Attempt At A Fine Art

For want of having to do something different, I decided to make this a picture post. "Picture?", you ask. Why, yes of course! Well, to be honest, I had a couple of topics to blog about, but I couldn't get around to actually writing them. So, while I wait for inspiration to hit, allow me to share what else I've been dabbling in.

Calligraphy.

Let me just say that I am not great at this! Just started a couple months ago as a means to cope with various .... 'problems'. I love writing prose and poetry. But calligraphy is writing... in style. There's something soothing about watching ink flow in curves and waves on paper. Of course, you'll need proper calligraphy pens to achieve the desired effects, which I don't. Just regular sketch pens for now. 

(Oh! Shout out to the people who've encouraged me to keep blogging. Thanks for reminding me how lazy I've become! Just give me time, guys! Sheesh.... LOL)

Well, without further ado, the pictures! I could have scanned these sheets, but I don't have a scanner and I'm too cheap to pay for such. So these were just taken by a smartphone.

This one was a practice sheet...




Took it a couple of notches down...









Aaaand back to cluttering....



I was inspired to do this after listening to a wonderful cover sung by some very special people...



Oh, look. Colour.



Again, inspired by another brilliantly written song...




So there you have it. My sorry attempt at a fine art.
If you are interested to see some REAL calligraphy, I strongly recommend you to check out this dude :
