This is something that I've been doing in the evenings as I'm relaxing. I'm not spending a lot of time on it, but I can see some progress already. I'm teaching myself Spencerian Script. I'm hoping that when I add a greeting to the inside of a blank or homemade card, my penmanship will be elegant enough to make even a humble, hand-crafted card look special.
Right now, I'm working on 2 specific phrases: Happy Birthday and Happy Easter, both very apropos for the season. The beauty in this script is really in the capital letters, so I am focusing on those for now. Anyway, this is one of the many skills that you can teach yourself for absolutely free (or the cost of a tablet of paper and a pen), using the internet. I know that there are lots and lots of DIY home improvement resources online, too. There are so many things that I have discovered how to fix using the web. Later this spring, I'll be replacing the gasket for our refrigerator door. Yep, saw instructions for that online, too. But, I think I'm enjoying learning the script more than home improvement stuff. It's just more fun to me.
What fun, free skills have you taught yourself using the internet?
