This is so graceful and beautiful... I really love the border that kind of swirls out of the text, but it seems to do so very naturally. Caught my eye immediately.

Beautifully executed. The ligatures are nice though the the fine lines aren't quite smooth. They look a little brittle. Other than that, I think it is a delightful piece. Keep up the good work.

I know what you mean, I have de same problem. Sometimes, It don't know what I can do with calligraphy... so I do anything else.
Don't worry, don't give up. There is always something to learn or to try.

Wow, this is gorgeous!! Is that made with a broad nib or a copperplate one (like, the one that is thin and then expands if you press on it, dont know its name)?
Is the text in French? What does it mean?

It's a copperplate nib, a thin one.
It's in french, from Cyrano de Bergerac. (english version [link] )
" But sing,
Dream, laugh, go lightly, solitary, free,
With eyes that look straight forward--fearless voice!
To cock your beaver just the way you choose,--
For 'yes' or 'no' show fight, or turn a rhyme!
--To work without one thought of gain or fame,
To realize that journey to the moon!
Never to pen a line that has not sprung
Straight from the heart within. Embracing then
Modesty, say to oneself, 'Good my friend,
Be thou content with flowers,--fruit,--nay, leaves,
But pluck them from no garden but thine own!'"

I love the decorations on the side!

Je n'arrive pas à trouver pourquoi, mais j'aime beaucoup moins que d'habitude... il y a quelque chose qui me dérange.

Il y a eu beaucoup de perte par le scan... ça rend pas grand chose. En vrai, ça a légèrement une meilleure tête. Après, bon, on peut pas non plus tout aimer.

c'est une très belle page j'aime franchement le style par contre je ne déchiffre pas tout le texte : je ne suis pas habitué a lire la cursive mais j'aime beaucoup son tracé et les jeux de plumes.

Le scan perd beaucoup... mais couvre les endroits où j'ai gratté le papier. C'est long à secher & du coup, j'ai fait quelques bourdes. Note aussi que comme c'est dure à lire, je corrige pas les fautes d'orthographes.
Ce que j'aime dans cette écriture ce sont les hampes qui descendent sur plusieurs lignes, c'est rare.

this work of art in writing just made me swallow the gum i was chewing. this is completely amazing. i don't know how you keep your hand so steady through those extra-long descenders. i couldn't do it, that's for sure. reminds me of some serious formal court-hand. you have your own distinct style, that's for sure.
if you don't mind my asking: what kind of nib did you use for this? did you use a fountain pen for this? if not, you must have had to do some heavy-duty loading of ink on the dip pen or quill.

Hé hé, I use a ruler to draw the descender.
I'd rather do it without, but it's not terrible... This scipt is flemish & cursive. I don't why but I really love the cursive.
I use a quill, a sharp one. I don't have a fountain pen, I use gouache & water, loading the quill each two or tree words.
