Many many practice pages were done in an attempt to master each letter before I took a crack at writing this out. Feels good to have a proper copperplate style.

Very nice, getsome
^----very nice!!!
Man I wish my regular writing looked that nice, well done
It looks good Chef but you're correct, high end paper would be the crowning touch on an already nice hand.
I'll be honest, I haven't even thought about cursive in over 5 years, and haven't written it in even longer. I would say that I actually handwrite <100 characters a week, and it's mostly scratching the name of the person calling me on the pad next to my keyboard (which is in the picture). So I gave it a go.....good lord my hand cramps up fast now! The paper is a grocery store legal pad that my wife didn't want because she didn't realize it was gridded. The pen is an old Rotring 600 with a Parker gel insert.
Pretty good hand for someone who doesn't write regularly.
This is my first time on the Nib. Very interesting/fun thread. I used to do calligraphy years ago, but I can't even remember the last time I wrote anything. Oh, wait a minute, I wrote something just about ten minutes ago. You guys make me want to take up pen again. Here's my sample. Enjoy.
Didn't know that. Just discovered this one. I don't know if I can handle another AD after RAD and SBAD.You know, we have a calligraphy thread here?
I'll have to look it up.The Calligraphy Thread
Heres a link for you Jim, Nice Handwriting btw, would love to see what you could do with an italic, or a dip pen, something with flex !

I can attest to the fact that italics can really snazz up your writing.
on edit: adding a pic. With good handwriting, line variation will be even better. The first is a standard medium, second is a medium italic.

Owen, pretty soon some may consider this "stalking" 
Well, James was probably tiring of being included in my quick brown fox samplesOwen, pretty soon some may consider this "stalking"
Good point, that poor Canadian needs a break!

Yeah, and he might be in trouble for shooting that fox.
I'm just happy he doesn't have the power to change avatars and titles. We would all be in trouble then.........LOL
Thanks, James. Right now all my pens are packed away. We are getting ready to move to North Cackalacky next month. If I can find them, I may give the italic a try again.
I knew he would.
