Palmer Method


I was still intrigued with the Palmer Method of handwriting so I turned it into ICAD card.  It was a fun card to create and one of my favorites.  I mix blue and green acrylic paint together to get the right color for a school chalkboard and gave the index card a good coating of paint.  I used my white quite marking pencil to write the letters..  And the cool part was...my letters actually look half way decent. Except for that upper case "F".  That one doesn't look quite write.  for the rest of the card I just printed some images from the internet and voila!

I did realize that I learned the Palmer method in school. I just don't remember it being called that.  I remember making those exact shapes while practicing in class.  I still use most of those letter forms, but I write a few, like the upper case "F" and "Q".  This week I've been trying to slow down when I'm writing at home and work and see if I can get some improvement.
