Just Yummy...

I've slowly been getting back into calligraphy over the past few years. I learned a style of italic when I was a kid and have messed around with it off and on forever. Lately I've been taking a Zen-like class in it and developing my own style, which, no surprise here, has some obvious design bits in common with my metalwork. As if I didn't already have so much on my plate, I've discovered how many calligraphers with beautiful websites there are out there!

Check out this calligraphy in sand by Andrew van der Merwe. Talk about a lesson in impermanence!

How about this image from Malik Anas?

I don't know whether to jump over to my drawing table and get busy or just sit here and be overwhelmed!
