Happy Anniversary to us! 💕✨ Eight years of marriage and a lifetime to go. I know I always share this photo, but can you blame me? It's our favorite. ☺️ #piecesbts #notcalligraphyrelated #butmrpiecesrelated

Would your kids be able to read these names? My kiddos giggled at first when they saw their friends' names, but I was so proud they were able to read most of them! They struggled the most with letter E (and so did I writing it 😆). We're calling it "silly writing" for now. Gonna work on changing that real soon. #littlecalligraphersintraining #startthemyoung #savecursive

I don't always do custom work... But when I do, it's for my kids' preschool! 🎓 Custom work almost always stresses me out, especially as a perfectionist. I hate sharing this about myself, but if you can learn something from my setbacks, that would be a win in my book! . Here are three things I did to prepare and lessen the stress: 1▪️ Practice writing out all names first 2▪️ Use a pencil + ruler to lightly add lines and sketch out each name. 3▪️ As I write with a brush pen, do NOT focus on following the pencil marks exactly, but rather use them as a guide. You want to maintain the flow of your pen to keep it natural and consistent. 4▪️ Erase the pencil marks! . Let me know if this is helpful, or if you have any questions! I'd love to share this process in depth one day. . These will be turned into graduation caps. I know. 😭😭😭 Kindergarten, here we come! #doubletrouble #timeflies #schoolreallybegins . Pen: Pigma Professional Brush MB Paper: Poster board cut into squares (not the smoothest, but it worked!) Eraser: Tombow Mono & Mono Zero

When did you first have an interest in calligraphy? What drew you to it? For me, it was 2014 when I saw a friend share something here on Instagram and I thought two things. First, holy moly that's amazing and I didn't know you could do that! And second, I think I could totally do that! 🤗 . So I searched for classes, signed up for one locally, and I even left a hang out with some girlfriends to attend the class. They teased me about taking a calligraphy class (isn't it some ancient thing?) and while they went off to the mall, I headed to class to learn all about brush pens. 🙌 . Yeah, I'm so glad I didn't change my mind that day and choose the shopping over what would become practically my life! 🙏 Fast forward five years (what?!) and I'm still just as fascinated, excited, and intrigued. How about you? Please share something about your journey below.
