Pretty waves back with a big grindd Hey! You can come join me if you want. We used to know how to do a little tiny bit of calligraphy bodily when we were in elementary school, a grand total of one letter, and we never had the proper pens. Our wife knows it, I think, at least some, so I figured I'd ask her to teach me. I'm sure it could be done with a raised drawing board, which is a thing that does exist. It's basically metal mesh stretched in an 8 1/2 by 11 wood frame. When you draw on a sheet of paper put in the frame, the mesh causes the picture to come out raised on the other side. It's pretty cool and actually really inexpensive to buy. It also doesn't require any special instruments. Just a pen or pencil and any paper thicker than standard notebook paper will do nicely. But yeah, I'm kinda crafty in my own right, and think learning a new way to write would be fun, even if I'd have to do it upside-down so that it'd come out right on the drawing board. Hmmm. That might require some thought. Oh! That reminds me! ininbounces out and comes back with a yummy plate of chocolate chunk cookies for the food table, and a large tub of assorted jerky, all separated out and labeled with the kind of meat and whether it's hot, mild, sweet etcddinin
