Learning Calligraphy: Part 1
3:50:00 PMI really love all things creative and crafty…as of late, I have been obsessed with beautiful stationary, typography prints, addressed letters, etc. One day I decided, why can't I learn how to make this stuff too? Ergo, why this blog post is about learning calligraphy.
I am certainly no pro, I have been practicing and practicing and I am determined to successfully learn calligraphy at the end of this blog series. Instead of me "teaching" you (that makes no sense if I don't even know myself) I want you to learn with me! I have spent endless hours googling "how to's" and trying to find other blogs that have a series like this…I have come up a little shorthanded (except for this awesome blog). There aren't too many blogs, articles, how to's that go into specific detail about how to be a "super-fantastic" calligraphy writer so we are kind of wingin' this.
The first thing you need to do is place the nib in your pen holder and dip the pen in ink. You only need enough ink to fill the hole in the nib.

Holy cow! Where were when I got married!? You so could have practiced your work on my invitations haha! Have you thought about turning your calligraphy into a font once you are happy with it?
ReplyDeleteThat would have been so fun!! I haven't thought about that at all…but I am glad I have super smart blog friends because that is the best idea!!!
