Practicing Calligraphy

You've created the perfect hand stamped card, the design fits the person perfectly but when it comes time to write on the inside, your handwriting is sloppy.

One way to prevent sloppy handwriting is to practice writing calligraphy. This book was recommended by Kristina Werner in her blog and so I tried it for myself. I've been doing it for about 3 months now and the object isn't to imitate this author's handwriting but to learn how to develop the letters so that you improve your own handwriting and it becomes your own.
