This is the third page in my "Hymns That Last" journal.  "Come, Ye Thankful People, Come" was written by Henry Alford in 1844.  This entry was a challenge.  I mixed my walnut ink too thin, the paper fibers gave me fits - and misspellings galore.

Calligraphy Flourish Friday - Hymn Journal Page 2

This is the second page in my "Hymns That Last" journal.  (I just love the translucent pages preceding the writing pages!)  

 The second hymn is "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" by Edward Perronet.  You can see my original post about this journal, including a link to the list of the 27 Hymns That Last by CLICKING HERE.

 The texture of the pages is a little tricky for my nib (Zebra G) and walnut ink, but I am determined to complete the journal with all 27 hymns. 

I have a favor to ask...

A dear friend may have the opportunity to travel to Perth, Australia in the next few weeks.  If any of you can provide helpful insights into the Perth area (or within a few hours drive of Perth)....sights, parks, restaurants, beaches, etc., then I would appreciate hearing from you.  You may leave a comment here or email me. My email address is listed below my blog's banner.  Thank you very much!!!

Go forth and flourish!

Calligraphy Flourish Friday - Hymns That Last

I started a new journal recently.

My daughter gave me this beautiful journal which she had purchased while studying in Florence. I wanted to do something special with it.

After reading HERE about hymns that endure, I decided to fill the pages with these hymns. This is my title page.

Each writing page of the journal is preceded with a lovely, translucent page.

 The first page I filled with the lyrics of Abide with Me by Henry F. Lyte (1847).
