Calligraphy

I freely admit that I have the most horrible handwriting. I blame it on the fact that with computers, we rarely pick up a pen and paper like we used to. Regardless, I've made it a goal of mine to learn calligraphy. Yep...I can hardly believe it myself. Can my hands really learn to actually make beautiful writing? The jury is out so far, but I keep telling myself practice makes perfect. I'm learning a very traditional calligraphy hand, but I'm hoping when I feel comfortable I will put my own little twist on it. Here are some images of calligraphy I am crazy about these days....
