![[Portfolio 2011] Jabberwocky](/content/images/size/w600/2019/09/jabber_square.jpg)
Book with Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky. 8x8 inch. Hard cover. Hand bound. Stonehenge white and black paper, gouache. This was the final project for my first semester of calligraphy at CMU. 2011
The goal of the project was to explore different modifications to a simple Roman minuscule hand.
This is my favorite page because it is written backwards.
![[Portfolio 2009] Poem](/content/images/size/w600/2019/09/IMG_2261-2-square.jpg)
I really wanted to get into a calligraphy class, and I wrote this angsty teenager poem in a "fancy" hand to impress the teacher, so that she may let me in the class. Of course, I had sent it via e-mail, which I didn't realize she never checked, so it took 2 more years before I ended up in her class. 2009

The assignment for my French class was to write a story using passé simple, and I decided to write out in a "fancy" hand on a nice piece of paper. This was before I had any formal training. 11x8.5 inches. 2008
