Calligraphy

Up and down as it overlooks the open book freefalling so but where to go? Embellish each page, one by one where words will run, of written swerves, artistic curves By quill that writes an artful verse I now rehearse but cannot free calligraphy ____________________ For Nette's Minute Contest By Carrie Richards 10/25/12

Oh, I soooo get this. I used to do calligraphy! The 'exactness' that the calligrapher tries to obtain, correct slant, right pressure, my hand lifting at JUST the right moment... constraint! And yet the flow of the ink, the FEEL of the paper under the nib does seem freeing. And yet EVERY calligrapher knows that (like poetry) nothing penned for art is every completely free. AWESOME. Faves for me. LOL...forgot to congratulate you. I was so blown away. Hugs, Cyndi
