i don't know what style of lettering this is. my apologies to the traditionalists. long stemmed *something* would be a good name for it. i get as many ideas for lettering off fonts as out of lettering books. this was probably inspired by a font.
Ernst Schneidler legend? Jacqueline Svaren has a pen-written version of it in her book *Written Letters.* One would almost think you'd chosen it on purpose just to see if anyone would notice you were doing a Schneider in Schneidler.
You're very welcome:-) And here I was so sure you were going to say, "You guessed it - you win the Blue Legend Badge!" Of course, now I will never feel certain of my spelling when I send Kathy a letter, but she doesn't at all seem to mind the variations.
Okay, then here's what we should do: if anyone hanging out on this blog needs traditionalist spelling, just leave it to me. And, since I haven't mastered non-traditionalist naming and spelling yet, but greatly admire it, I will defer to you and Jean in all those matters.
btw, j 'n j glen epstein taught a similar back-leaning legend it is cool with long curves at the baseline and fun to write similarly, i think cheryl jacobsen has a bothic cursive she uses anyone know what bothic is?
