Calligraphy - first attempts

I'm so terrible at this! Not sure I'm getting any better - actually, I think the attempts are getting worse, but I sure am enjoying myself so I'll probably continue creating these wonderful/terrible little scraps. Didn't plan them out, and used an ink pen, so... yeah, no do-overs here. Might start using pencil to plan the page out a bit better. It's hard to determine where the curly bits go - that and I obviously need to take a look at some reference material. I mean, do I even know what a capital "S" looks like?

"God, be merciful to me, a sinner!" Luke 18:13 - calligraphy - JFleming 2016
Attempt number one... was looking at something from here earlier in the day that obviously inspired this.
"Set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth." Colossians 3:2 - calligraphy verse - JFleming 2016
Attempt number 2
"Let anyone who thinks he stands, take heed lest he fall." 1 Corinthians 10:12 - calligraphy verse - JFleming 2016
Last attempt... looked ok till "stands"... lots of room for improvement here, huh?

Stitching Project: Bear

Found a pattern for a simple bear on pinterst - decided to do one of them yesterday evening. It didn't take long and I think it turned out ok. What do you think? I'm not crazy about the shape of the arms - am going to make those a little different next time. I enjoyed doing it so much that I think I'm going to re-purpose those millions of old shirts into cute little plush dolls I can send with our church members when they go on various mission trips. And I should have enough left to put into an Operation Christmas Child box or two this fall.
