Broad edge calligraphy is what started all of this, it wasn't until two years after I started broad edge that I got my first dip pen and tried scripts like copperplate and spencerian, and it took another year until I learned how to use it. I remember like it was yesterday my first broad edge pen coming in the mail, a pilot parallel 6mm; I was 14, and still probably have my first notebook laying around somewhere.
How far I've gotten still amazes me sometimes, broad edgeis still my favorite style, gothic fonts to be more specific and Cloister Black to be the most specific. It's the only style I find relaxing, anything with a brush pen or dip pen is often stressful because of how little room for error there is, a single wrong or crooked line and your entire piece is ruined, I've scrapped more pices than I care to discuss because of this, this piece doesn't actually exist anymore, on the very last stroke ink blotted onto the paper so I ripped up the page and threw is in the garbage because errors like that are unacceptable, but luckily I managed to take a picture before I got ad enough to rip it up.
Regardless, here is my rather short but still alluring calligraphy collection involving words and letters.
