Pamela Moresby
I did this some time ago. I have been fascinated in old ancient writing and this is my attempt at old english calligraphy
So copied the Lords prayer in latin out of a library book.
I used actual calligraphy markers, nothing too hard.
I know you can just choose a script on computers today. My husband used to climb up ladders and do shop signs, or windows. I often used to go out and help him.

Beautiful work, very well done!
Thanks Lapka, its fun to try.
It’s lovely. I have some skill in lettering and drafting but haven’t tried Calligraphy.
In this way of art I absolutely know nothing dear friend
Thanks so much Lado glad you like it, I learned from the library books
It was very interesting dear Pamela
Ancient caligraphy is cool Pamela though I could not understand a word there.
It’s written in Latin MohanBabu, thanks. If it helps I did not study Latin either.
Thanks Pamela for sharing this information. It always helps to learn new things.
Super post. Calligraphy must be very interesting. I like different types of writing, but I have not tried yet
Thanks Vidocka, it is interesting to try new things. Warwick my husband taught me some simple lettering too. In the past, women in New Zealand were promoted to do ticket writing for shops. Men did sign writing . That is until computers came in .
Very interesting ideas you always have and I like it.
Its always fun to try new things, I learned from the library. I will put some more posts about calligraphy again .Thanks Elenka
Thanks Tasartcraft, glad you like the calligraphy
Nicely done Pam, I have never tried the before.
Thanks Carol, glad you like it, I got a few calligraphy books from our local library and taught myself.
This is amazing Pam, I love the effort and result! Calligraphy is always interesting. I love reading old English writers in their original prose and writing.
Thanks so much Doc, glad you like the Calligraphy
Other styles of writing words are very effective in getting the message out.
Thanks I do try all sorts of styles of writing
That is good to know that all styles of writing are effective in your writings.
Very nice work. My wife used to be a calligrapher. Unfortunately she came down with CFS which has progressed to the point where she can no longer do it.
Nice to have the skills, but sorry about the CFS . Thanks Gary
