1. Amazing! And you kept your promise :)

Fell in love with calligraphy years ago when it was suggested I take it up because of awful penmanship. Since then I've been able to read my own handwriting :D

2. If you're interested in reading about the production here's the interview with the

director Vanessa Marzaroli to find out how it was created.

The calligraphy style is called Spencerian Script, of course I had to Wiki it to find out more about it. There used to be schools just for this style of writing, before the typewriter became popular.

I love calligraphy as well, although I haven't played around with it much, I think I have some pens around here somewhere :D

3. Thanks MM. That was a treat to read.

I've loved that Spencerian Script. I think I came as close as I could to finding something similar while choosing fonts for my site. I used it for the name because I think that how I should write.

Yup, still got my pens from over 20 years ago gathering dust.

Here's something for you: If you haven't seen it already, and I think you'd really enjoy it, please see "Paradise Found:Islamic Art" that features so much incredible calligraphic art and geometry. I'm sure it'll come on again (I think it was the Ovation Channel).

Or see it on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL4QpirJcYk - I think this covers all 120minutes of it!
