  1. Wow, all beautiful I like that bunny best! Here the day got off to a bad start - no electricity, no heating, no internet, no phone. And it's cold. And no electricity meant no coffee. And the trams and buses are on strike again, hell's bells, what a friggin' day!Electricity is back on, and internet, but no heating, and it's cold! Hope your day is better, Valerie

    1. Es tut mir lied. (I think that says I'm sorry). You need to go get a nice, hot cappuccino. Maybe when you get back the heat will be on.

  3. Oh my goodness, dear CJ. You have blown me away with not just the calligraphy, but also the incredibly different styles you chose each day. I also love how you interpret some of the prompts, too. I don't have a favorite, because once I see one I love it, the the next one becomes my favorite. I love them all. Your art is incredible.

  12. These all look great. I chuckled at the radio one: it made me think of me (and Teddy) zipping along the country roads, enjoying the Fall feel to everything. That bunny is the type of calligraphy drawing I had asked you about awhile ago (and of course, I can't remember what the name of that style is, which you had told me back then).

    1. Himself and I sing along to the Oldies (50s, 60s) He's a great bass man.

      The swirly writing is a pointed pen style called Copperplate or English Roundhand. Like the writing done on the Declaration of Independence though that was done with a pointed quill and not a steel pen. The strokes of the bunny are actually practice strokes to get thick and thin lines by applying pressure.
