Calligraphy today, woke up early to practice before I got in

Spent much of the day re writing these lines from the song ‘Bella Ciao’, an old communist folk song from Italy. The lines translate as;

‘This is the flower of the Partisan,

Dead for our freedom.’

Spent a long time working on ‘o’ forms but managed to get them worked out by the end of the day. Rushed the last draft and stupidly wrote ‘Libertá’ from the a so I didn’t run out of room but then destroyed the rest of the spacing as I was working from the wrong way. Wasn’t thinking.
