FOREVER – 永 – yǒng – Chinese character: forever, always, perpetual. This character is formed by adding a dot and a horizontal line to the character 水 for water. Water on this planet is not made anew, it is forever, it cycles and cycles through our bodies, the bodies of all creatures and through the vast ecosystem that makes up our planet. Biologically, water is as close to forever as we experience. Calligraphy by S. J. Thomas www.palmstone.com

I did this piece of calligraphy for a book title. The tool is a ruling pen, which I absolutely love. I use it as if it is half way between a pen and a brush. The result is a wonderful ability to flow between thin and thick lines. Of course it does take practice to get the control needed to produce lettering this even. Calligraphy by S. J.

Willing is not enough; we must do” and in Persian: تنها دانستن کافى نيست .مهم نيست شما چقدر ميدونيد .مهم اينکه چقدر از دانسته هاتون رو تبديل به اقدام ميکنيد.
