After taking a few books out of the library, I have become hooked on the challenge of fine hand lettering. I have chosen to focus solely on Uncial and Half Uncial alphabets. I took the letters from both and use a mix of the two that appeal to me most. If I use the letter A from the Uncial Alphabet, I will consistently apply it through the piece. I do mix letters styles from both alphabets though. The most useful book I have bought so far has been Calligrahpy, A course in Hand Lettering by Maryanne Grebenstein.
As I work on future pieces I will attempt to remember to photograph them and post them as I move through the stages to completion.
