6.5k now. Suzanne does beautiful work. I'm just beginning and only have a Manuscript pen, not a beautiful offset like that one...If you don't mind me asking, how do you price work like this. I hope to one day do work like this for a living.. along with watercolor cards... think those two make a good combo.

[@SF-yh2ot]

People don’t know how HARD it is to write calligraphy that slow and steady. When I do calligraphy, I have to do it fast so the line aren’t squiggly. This lady is so skilled and talented to be able to write like that, not to mention her font is sooo elegant!!😍

[@JonHop1]

It came completely naturally to me.. I thought it was so easy and a lot of people thought I was crazy or some savant at calligraphy, but I think my background in Graffiti and art just allowed me to have a really steady hand, but also a great understand of letters and feel for how to use the ink/paint.. Spray paint is in some ways similar to Calligraphy. With the angling of the can and the spray and the quick changes in pacing and movements to achieve a thinner or thicker line.

Back in the mid 1960s all primary children use to write with an ink pen, I remember we had an ink well at the end of the desk and being left handed my writing was always smudged and I would be told off and the pen would be placed in my right hand. They didn't succeed as I'm still left handed. Come late 60s early seventies thank goodness for biro pens but I do admire this copper plate work.

[@LindenMagnolia]

Do you ever have a hard time going back and forth from say writing out a check to doing a fancy envelope? Your handwriting is exquisite!

[@peterdevries2699]

The pen IS mightier than the sword, especially when wielded by Suzanne Cunningham!! I'm a left-handed beginner staring at 200 blank A-7 envelopes which I need to transform into Cunningham-esque works of art. I'm certain I want to use Copperplate but was wondering if you have documentation on the specific alphabet used in your video.

I purchased an antique book from Spain some years ago and the parcel was addressed in calligraphic writing and tied with string and sealing wax. You should have seen the postman's eyes when he delivered it - said he never saw anything like that in 40 years!

[@karhukivi]

@Suzanne Marie Magdalene It was 30 years ago, and another EU country, not the USA. Incidentally, the Spanish postal services would not allow scotch tape, parcels had to have brown paper wrapping and string. The reason (I asked) was so the postal people could open a package if they wanted to know what was inside, and they would re-seal it with scotch tape!

Lovely, Suzanne! No sooner had I seen “Com” in the address line, I knew it would be Commonwealth Avenue in Boston. I live in a suburb of Boston and have traveled on “Comm-Av” many times. BTW...your script is beautiful. Mine is not nearly as precise due to neuropathy in my fingers nowadays. Yet I was blessed to have been taught “Spencerian Script” over 50 years ago by the late George Hilliard, a gentleman who had worked in a bank his entire adult life and did all the ledger entries using this script. Can you imagine what that must have been like? What Mr. Hilliard taught me was essentially what you’ve demonstrated in this video, but with a little less flourish.
