What an amazing series of prompts, each of which could be explored for weeks+ instead of days. The resources offered are like getting a two for one; so generous and much appreciated. Thank you.
Another book/artist to consider for your final list of examples, is the amazing caligrapher Denise Lach (Calligraphy, a book of contemporary inspiration). ?
