April's craft is Learn Calligraphy.

Calligraphy is a skill that marries touch, pressure, movement, unity and beauty together. It is the art of creating fluid symbols by hand and arranging them in harmony and rhythm. Sure, you might end the day with ink splattered fingers but once you find your rhythm, beautiful things will happen!

I actually have some experience with calligraphy, but it's been years since I've done it. It does takes some getting used to, and if you're left-handed it's even trickier to master.

I haven't completed this project yet, so I have no final project pics for you. I think this will fun to get back into and have a few things in mind that I might create. I'll probably write some children song lyrics, frame them, and put them up in the boys' rooms.
