At a manuscript gathering last night at Standford—a Korean manuscript was shared. The whole thing was written/drawn in shell gold—even the guide lines. It was the most beautiful and shiny shell gold I have seen. It has convinced me I need to sit down and grind my shell even more! Guess I know my weekend tv watching activity.

The photos do not do it justice! The shell gold was so good it almost looked like flat gold leaf.

I’m not entirely pleased with this (spacing issues, inconsistent line thickness) but I suppose the only way to get better at brushing tiny characters on bamboo is to brush more tiny characters on more bamboo #calligraphy #chinese

Four bamboo strips with the first 144 Chinese characters of Three Character Classic (a name that really undersells the length) hand-brushed

I can’t believe I’ve been to busy to boast about my new office artwork by @welshpixie which I acquired on Mastodon! I framed it last weekend and it has been adorning my office since Monday morning! #ReproducibiliTea #MastodonArt #Calligraphy

Framed calligraphy artwork with the phrase: where there is tea, there is hope in green lettering and an elaborate colourful border featuring small teacup and teapots.

The frame picture on a shelf next to a 70s style teapot and a card with the watercolour artwork.

Three shelves with the middle one featuring the artwork. The other shelves have some books, other cards, a selection of teas and office equipment.

言霊 (koto-dama) “word-spirit”

Koto-dama 言霊 is a traditional belief that mystical powers dwell in words and names.

Just like martial arts practitioners giving out a shout when they make a strike (“ki-ai!” - literally “meeting of spirit”) it is believed that sounds can affect our body, mind and soul.

For Sale for £30GBP, includes worldwide postage. DM me to buy one - I have 10 available!

My hand holding up a print of illuminated 'Punch Nazis'. The text is in blackletter calligraphy, and it's surrounded by an ornate frame of scrollwork and repeating patterns drawn in black ink and shaded to look like 3D engraving.

Angled view from the left showing the detail, and the texture and little imperfections (like spots of ink) left on the paper in the print (intentionally).

I've got five 10x8 inch prints of this coming.

£20 GBP each, includes worldwide postage, DM me to reserve one!

Calligraphed in carolingian script in black ink, Dune's Litany Against Fear, with an illuminated first 'I' with a thick black letter filled with white scrollwork, and the whole text framed on the top and left with a border of black ink line art acanthus scrolls shaded to look like they're engraved.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Bit of Carolingian to start the day

Dune's Litany Against Fear calligraphed in black ink, Carolingian script. The first letter I is pencilled ready to illuminate, and there's a pencilled space for a border across the top and down the left.

Some Japanese aesthetic principles which are important to Japanese calligraphy are:

不均整 (Fukinsei) "Asymmetry or irregularity"
渋味 (Shibumi) "Understated elegance"
幽玄 (yūgen) “subtlety” or “suggestion”
静寂 (Seijaku) "Tranquility" or an "energized calm"

Anybody seen the calligraphy scene in Hero (2002)?

This quote is from Firefly; Inara says it to someone that's giving birth, as a way deal with the pain. I always think about it whenever I'm in pain, or sick, or having a bad day.

Calligraphed in blackletter script in green ink, with fancy swirling majuscules;

'This is just a Moment in time. Step Aside, and let it happen.'

It's on textured white paper and my hand is holding it up against a white wall, in soft sunlight.

A little morning calligraphy. Haven't even had breakfast yet XD

Reduced to £40 GBP, including worldwide postage, if anyone wants it. It's on A4 size paper.

Calligraphed in black ink blackletter script, with an ornate bigger first letter 'I' in shimmering purple-red ink;

'I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.'

There are curling vines and leaves extending outwards across the top and down the left.

Close up showing the shimmering ink in the letter 'I'.

The beautiful calligraphy art of a quote I love which I commissioned from the wonderful @welshpixie finally arrived, and I've got it mounted above my workstation!

(Unframed photos are @welshpixie's, because I was too excited to get it framed and displayed to take pics.)
