This week I have been having a go at some calligraphic flourishes with my dip pen. Specifically mandalas, or circular flourishes. Not only are they pretty fun to do, but they allow you to repeat the same strokes over and over so they're great for practicing basic shapes!
These are my attempts;
I prefer the top one, whereas hubby lies the bottom one. Isn't it always that way?
Want to see what real ones look like? Check out these beauties by wonderful calligrapher Jane Farr.
I have also ordered some different colored inks to have a go with, so watch this space!
