Flourish book!

I recently came across this book in some posts and when I did some research online found out that it was out of print and over $800 on Amazon.com!!!  Then I found this site:
https://picasaweb.google.com/tipstricks1/CalligraphyFlourishingANewApproachToAnAncientArtBillHildebrandt#

Don't try and sell it, but for personal use...you can learn a lot here!

Enjoy,
Li

Thank you!

I just wanted to thank everyone who came out to my 2 classes (Introduction to Calligraphy & Illumination and Accessibility Hour with Li) on Saturday at the Southern Region Scriptorium & Heraldic Symposium!  It had been a while since I taught and it was fun to see everyone!  Remember, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me!

And just in review here were some cool links to check out (on the third handout I gave everyone in the C&I class).
