Spencerian Rest Day
I didn’t get much time today with all the busy-ness that the relaxed – pun intended – lockdown rules brought to focus on writing an alphabet. But I did have time to practice some ovals and shades and a few words.

I’m going to have to put in a few more days of work into these ovals and shades

Spencerian O
Spencerian N
The ovals are getting more fluid with each day’s practice. On the second half of the alphabet now!
Spencerian M
