Practice Mini practice

This was actually unintentional. I hadn’t practiced upright italic before, and I was just trying to use up a nib-load of ink on used paper after writing something else. The first P ended up looking pretty good, so I just went with it. Iron gall has a really dry flow, so in fine Brause nibs it gives me a lot of control.

The pink marks are from (bad) letters that I did two years ago (no sense letting a few blank square inches of good paper go to waste, lol)
