Now that we are in a new house, in a new city and a new state, I will start learning a new hand in calligraphy. Here is a photo of the pens I use to write Spencerian Script. The two pens on the far right were ones that I commissioned Bill Lilly to make. The wood was removed from the White House during renovations in 1950 and under the pens is a small brass
plaque that came with the length of wood. My Mom bought the wood for $1.00.
My new course of study is Foundational hand with Monica Dengo
