Some Fun with Words

I've been playing around with text and calligraphy in my (small amount of) free time lately. It mostly stemmed from doodles on the side of my notes but I thought they were interesting enough to post here.

These first two deal with Sütterlin script. Sütterlin was the cursive script in Germany for some time and was taught in schools around the 1920-1940s. It's sort of crazy to look at since the letters, compared to the cursive taught in American schools, are sometimes illegible to me. I spent one page just writing in Sütterlin and then spent the other page trying to merge the two styles.

In terms of completed pieces I came up with these little fun things...
