welcome

Hello all, my name is Dave and I practice in all sorts of calligraphy but my main interests lie in Copperplate and Bird Flourishing. This interest seems to be quite rare, so I am hoping to promote this beautiful script to all who may be interested in this subject.
If you practice in flourishing it would be great to hear from you. There are so few books on the subject and I would like to find out more.




This envelope was made using Canson Mi-Teinte paper. Making an envelope gives you more scope to use whatever paper and colour you wish. The Copperplate script was done using Dr Martins PH White bleedproof. The bird flourish was done with gouache paint.
