The art of calligraphy is a pleasant and calming way to fill in a few hours. It is an art that gives it rewards through patience.
All scripts have a different cadence when writing. Italian Cursive is a mellow, relaxing flow to it, whereas Blackletter, or Gothic is very much a staccato, heavy, stop-start feel.

A few examples below from my practice sheets.
A couple of examples of a Copperplate style writing. This script uses a tricky little pen with an 'elbow' in it to achieve the severe slant. Very classical.
Blackletter, used when vellum or paper was in short supply. Calligraphers were able to fit a lot of text on the page.
Italic chancery cursive would be one of the most used and beautiful of the calligraphic hands.
A variation of roundhand/uncial. More an experiment than anything. However I do like the results and will look to develop this hand further.
Calligraphy, it's all about practice...
Examples of wedding invitations.
