I know. It is nearly Easter, but I forgot to upload a picture of my Christmas envelopes for 2025. This might be my last set of calligraphy Christmas cards because I struggle to write with my pointed nibs now. I think it’s my eyes – they’ve become more long-sighted over the years making my writing position awkward and ineffective. Plus, I can’t see what I’m doing anymore! Not even varifocals help. Ack. And after a session of calligraphy I am grumpier than a fried Orchid on a dusty windowsill – not relaxed, or happy with anything I’ve written. So, I think that’s enough with it.
Hopefully in a couple of hours this post will restore Mr Devine’s blog to normality.
Wonky Words 
I sold all my pens! But I feel I should do something with my fingers.

Dinah – My penholders are the cheap ones. I think I might do better with Italic calligraphy as it’s more akin to my natural handwriting. The funny angles with pointed pen calligraphy are not helpful – writing up the page rather than across!
I will make more collages – I know what you mean about needing something to do with your fingers! I might also revert to painting – I used to enjoy that. And of course there is the posh camera to master!! Ack. I am not getting on well with this ageing malarky!

It IS a malarkey-ish stage, isn’t it?
