Ornamental Penmanship - Houston calligraphy

Ornamental penmanship is the art form that sprang from Spencerian writing in the late 1800s to early 1900s. This was where we began to see phenomenal penmanship trumping each other in their correspondence with seeing who could be the most extravagant in their writing.

You can take lessons in ornamental penmanship and learn the art of how to script these letters in different fonts. You can even make a business out of it. It's my favorite writing form. Here's a quick example by yours truly and a practice sheet.  The "O" was my favorite part.
