Thank you to @littlehollowcustoms for the care package! Back in September Logan and Em sent me a care package with pen clips to try out and a couple of surprise blanks! This is a long overdue Thank You Cadeau for these fine folks and wonderful pen makers. I will be mailing this art to them along with a couple other goodies. This is also my #Thankyou4Cadels challenge day 7. Cadels, or Cadeaux, in French, which means “Gifts,” are a beautiful historical form of decorative capital letters. I am writing at least one Cadel per day until Thanksgiving break and what better way to use these Cadels, or Gifts, as gifts!

Happy Halloween! This freehand Cadel S and gothicized italic minuscules are based on historical exemplars from Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta by master penman, Georg Bocskay. Cadels are also known as Cadeau/Cadeaux in French, meaning, “Gift,” and I have loved them since the first time I have seen them. Therefore, I am starting a #thankyou4cadels challenge and practicing writing a #cadel everyday until #Thanksgiving break. #happyhalloween #WriteOn -Leonardo #broadedge #calligraphy #blackletter #gothic #gotica #lettering #art #pilotparallelpen #nahvalur #narwhal #frankenpen #custompen #blackmagicpens #midori #paper #diamine #enchanted #ocean #ink #shadow #wizard

Writing a decorative capital D! This freehand Cadel D is based on a historical exemplar from Les premieres Euvres de Jacques Devaulx, pillote en la marine on the BnF Gallica website, and as seen in Vivian Mungall's book, Cadels. Cadels are also known as Cadeau/Cadeaux in French, meaning, "Gift," and I have loved them since the first time I have seen them. Therefore, I am starting a #thankyou4cadels challenge and practicing writing a #cadel everyday until #Thanksgiving break. #WriteOn -Leonardo #broadedge #calligraphy #blackletter #gothic #gotica #lettering #art #pilotparallelpen #nahvalur #narwhal #frankenpen #custompen #blackmagicpens #midori #paper #diamine #enchanted #ocean #ink
