Alright, so. Just a quick extra blog post. My mom actually ended up me a brush pen as a surprise, but I'm sticking with what I said earlier and not using it for the project. I also found some Chinese from when my grandfather was teaching me over winter break last year.
The Brush Pen:
Like I said earlier, I think I will just use the brush pen for fun. However, it looks really cool so I wanted to show you guys!!

| I was just trying to get the feel of the thin upstroke and thick down stroke here so I did the alphabet and a few random words that came to mind. Shoutout to Emma Hubbs for the honeygrow. |

| I wrote this on a card for my friend's Court of Honor, just wanted to share because I like the exclamation point |
Chinese:
Again, like I said earlier, I found a sheet in my room from when my grandfather was teaching me some basic Chinese two years ago.
My rendition of the characters is pretty awful, I apologize. It's pretty difficult since I have practically 0 experience and I wasn't able to watch someone do it perform I imitated it.
 |
| Yes, my characters are absolutely horrific but ya know. And yes, that does say egg and cake. Fun fact: I know how to call someone a big dumb egg. Thumbs up for Chinese insults. |
In all seriousness though, my dad calls his dad "ba" and I call my grandfather (this is the modified for a English-speaking child version) "gong-gong" which means father's father. I also call my grandmother (also modified) "po-po" (but doesn't sound like po-po as in the police).
Yup, so there was a little insight into my heritage. Fun times, fun times.
Bye for now!
