This is the most complex one I’ve done so far, and I almost ran out of material (single straightened coathanger), so ~8 letters max. Coathanger is surprisingly difficult to bend into such intricate shapes. It took me around 2½ hours to do with two different types of pliers plus hand bending.
I literally freehanded this though, no predrawn pattern or anything, just following as close as I can to my own freehand cursive writing. I’m thinking about making a bit of a side job out of it, like $5 a letter…
What you folks think?
Edit: I made a point to weight balance it at the tip of the T for hanging on the wall or wherever.
Edit 2: Criticize me as necessary, my cursive is still slightly rusty…
Uhh, citation needed? There’s tons of (beautiful) artistic cursive that’s probably completely illegible to people who only learned printing. And then to accuse OP of being prescriptive and in the same breath prescribing a completely arbitrary requirement that cursive mimic printed script.
No citation needed for my opinion.
There are good and bad cursive fonts. If you want to write in fonts that people need to learn how to read, go ahead. Just don’t get butt hurt when people read it as Cowteny.
I’ve offered some advice which OP is under no obligation to read or act upon. Reading the other comments here, they are showing frustration that people aren’t constructive enough so hopefully it is well received.
My advice to you, which you are also not obligated to act on, is to chill.
Yes, you have offered some useful advice 👍
The way I was taught cursive writing is basically this…

So, my natural cursive writing leans towards that, but yeah I should at least attempt to better distinguish certain letters wherever I can.
Indeed, I might slightly try to tweak a couple/few letters to better distinguish them, but I’m also gonna stick close to my OG handwriting, unless presented with a specific style.
By the way, the tip of the T is weight balanced as a pinning/hanging point. That’s not easy yo…
