True Hope is Swift and Flies with Swallows

Sometimes I think Hope is all there is:

Live Love Laugh

I hope you like these inspiring words which caught my eye a few days ago.

They inspired me to put calligraphy pen to paper.

The following is a piece of Calligraphy 
which I am working on at the moment:

Calligraphy:To Live

I have been inspired by the difficult times we live in to collect appropriate phrases to use as calligraphy projects::

 

BEGIN IT



I hope you like this piece of calligraphy inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Goethe was a noted German writer, artist, and politician. Many of his poems were set to music by the great European composers including Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and Mahler during the 19th century.

Calligraphy executed on A3 Cartridge Paper,

using Manuscript Scroll No 6 Nib, Black Ink.  

Crayola pencils were used to add the colour.

My Calligraphy

Greetings again from my blog. I have just added one of my favourite pieces of calligraphy. I created this in 1996 and presented, on behalf of my class, the original to my one of my lecturer's in LIT, Limerick. He was going onto greener fields. This is a copy which got a little damaged. However I still like it.
This week I'm afraid I'm off work after straining/spraining my right shoulder. I'm told by my doctor it should take about a week for things to come right. Maybe I'll find time to do some more calligraphy. I find it very therapeutic and of course I get great satisfaction from it.
