Anyone need something pen-and-ink to focus on? Join my calligraphy guild's next workshop!

Wonderful instructor Judy Detrick will be teaching us a Dutch Masters script. It's a lightly gothic/somewhat secretary hand with tons of potential for wild flourishing and creative adaptation.

It's Tuesday mornings (Pacific) starting *today*, BUT recordings are available for SIX MONTHS!!

Details: portlandsocietyforcalligraphy.

Handmade book open to a two-page spread. Light brown kraft-color paper with flourished Dutch hand in black ink, with green and white illuminated detail on the capital at the start. Brown thread stitching in the center, with the off-white textured paper cover visible around the edges.

J.C. de Widt, untitled example of original micrography, 10.63 × 12.75 in, Amsterdam, 1780.⁠
⁠
Our last post showed the largest letters in the upcoming 10 × 10 for 10 exhibition. This item contains the smallest letters—by far. Micrography (or microcalligraphy) is the art of creating images using tiny writing. This kind of calligram has a long religious history based on the devout observation of the second commandment against images.

Image of a goat, a young nursing goat, on a hilly landscape. A house and shepherd are seen in the distance. Birds and clouds are in the sky. Everything in the image is made with tiny letters.

Tolkien's manuscript.

This is from another area of Tolkien's mind: calendars.
He was pretty obsessed with making calendars for his Middle-earth. He wrote a big appendix to "The Lord of the Rings" about it, and wrote a great deal about the calendars before settling on the text as printed in Appendix D of "The Lord of the Rings".

I also feel like making a Font of Tolkien's own pen writing. What do you think?
