Show & Share:
**Kristi Lyons had a Monty Python saying lettered in Uncial on Pergamon Paper, complete with an illuminated Versal! She shared her first draft with us.
Evening Presentation:
**TJ showed us another hand, using the A2 nib in position 2. Position 2 creates a diamond shape when the foot of the nib is placed on the paper. By keeping the nib oriented so the right-hand edge is facing north, one can create a hand that resembles Gothic/Black Letter with very little effort. It isn’t a popular alphabet, so the examples are hard to find even on line.
