Cursive Writing

I found the type of cursive I was taught as a kid. I am including it below as an image.

So now when I practice with a fountain pen, I try to make my letters look like this.

Also, I noticed when I used the DIY ink in my copper pen, it flowed too fast. So I added some gum of arabic to DIY ink and it slowed the speed to the page. This is still an experiment.

Warning
 Nov 2019 update: After further research, gum of arabic works for dipping pens, but can clog fountain pen nibs. Don’t use this. Use glycerin to thicken ink instead. Fortunately I got a tiny container of gum of arabic, so I won’t waste much when I pitch it in the trash.
