About this book

Fifteen short proverbs from the King James Version — trust in the Lord, a friend loveth at all times, a soft answer turneth away wrath, keep thy heart with all diligence. Short lines make good calligraphy practice, and these are short enough to finish in one sitting. Each proverb gets its own spread: the verse in small print, two key words, one phrase, then every line in traceable script on four-line guides with a blank line beneath. Strokes, lowercase and capitals come first. Good for a graduation card, a study wall, or a quiet half hour.

What you will write

15 passages , KJV and public domain. Each one gets key words, a phrase, and then the whole passage line by line.
