Idea for learning calligraphers

Okay one last thing before I forget. A good way to recycle practice sheets of calligraphy, especially layout paper, is to use it as gift wrap! This way it's pretty even if it's full of mistakes. Even the paper you warm up on or scratch your nib on to check for blots can look cool reused this way. Better, more interesting and a lot cheaper than storebought wrapping paper.
