A fun note from a friend who has taken calligraphy and has also had some problems with her hand - had some surgery, I think. A couple readers have been having some health problems that make it hard to do traditional calligraphy. I am starting a new label called quick and perfect. It will be for ideas that can be done quickly and no matter what shape your hand/arm/whole body is in, you can probably execute something satisfactory. It might even be better than satisfactory.
Big loopy letters, no cap, edge to edge using a bold marker.
Then, small address with a finer tip pen or marker. Figure out a place to put in a small detail from the stamp.
Voila.
A perfect envelope.
I think quick and perfect sounds so much better than the expression *quick and dirty.* It is really nice to have some go-to styles and designs for those times when you are rushed or convalescing.
THIS IS QUICK AND PERFECT. THANKS FOR SHARING IT. KATHIE
