I love copperplate engrossing. In the years (2009) since I was introduced to this beautiful form of writing, I have worked to perfect what I do. I'm not where I want to be, but I'll keep practicing and one day I will be. In the meantime, feel free to leave feedback on what you see.. A fresh perspective is always welcome. Thank you

In progress
I've spent the last couple of days working on corner motifs with the skinniest quilling paper I've ever seen. I decided to go with a pearl paper as I thought the colors would be softer than regular quilling paper. It is softer color-wise but difficult to work with if you aren't very dexterous. Needless to say I've struggled a bit. However, I like the way the basic pieces are coming out. I'm treating this like I do pen flourishing. Get the basic lines down, then add to those with gradually decreasing lines. I'll begin assembling these tomorrow after I cut the paper and put my stamp on the back. Better to begin the final stages when you're fresh as a daisy no? And speaking of daisies...or black-eyed Susans as the case may be....stay tuned for the next post.
