....my grandma made me take calligraphy lessons as a kid..... and I still have awful handwriting... I cannot think of any situation where I would not print... I still even refer to it as cursive writing... and the mere sound of those words coming out of my mouth makes me sound like a kid pretending to be a grrown up....
...Grammy, on the other hand, has beautiful penmanship.... and still owns many quills, fountian pens, bottles of ink, sheets of parchment, nibs, nubs and all that crap used to make the aesthetics of words live up to the potential of their meaning...
that's why I think she would love Betsy Dunlap. A caliigraphic artist, she puts a modern age in a classic art, that both me and grammy can enjoy....
