Grab a brush pen & write a letter. ✍🏻 . It can be difficult to know how or what to practice when you first get started with a new hobby. If you are new to brush calligraphy, grab a pen and practice those letters. . I think it’s important to practice the whole alphabet regularly for these reasons: • You’ll want to have a strategy for each letter because, at some point, they will all come up. You can’t avoid your least favorite letters forever! • You want to get your alphabet looking cohesive. Make sure all of your letters form one complete alphabet when they are set together! • It challenges you to think creatively and shows you where you need more practice. Practicing all of the letters will show you which ones you need to focus in on and tighten up! . But, really, I just like the colorful look of a complete alphabet and would love to see yours. If you write out your alphabet, snap a picture and tag me! . Do you practice the full alphabet like this? What would be your best advice for someone who is just starting out?
Admire someone else’s creativity without questioning your own. 🎨 . Her success does not mean your failure. Her creativity does not take away from your own. There is enough room for everyone! . I wrote a little blog post about the different seasons I’ve gone through as a calligrapher. How it all started and where it’s gone through until now. It may resonate with you, it may not, but it was on my heart so I decided to share. The link is in my profile! . My blog is a place where I share practical tips like the different kids of pens I recommend, but I am also wanting to share real things I’m learning as well. So, be ready to see more of that every once in a while. 💛
Books, books, books • back in stock! 📚 . It’s been a while since I’ve posted and there are so many reasons for that, BUT the best news I have for you is the fact that my Brush Lettering Guide is back in stock! . This is an easy way to give yourself the little push you need to try out brush calligraphy. This book is meant to help you with all the information that you need to get started right away! ✨ . I originally calligraphy learned through a lot of trial & error. I messed up all of my brand new pens and I wanted to help other people avoid that. That’s why I created this book! . So, if you’re looking for a little extra help in some DIY handwritten cards, this books is for you! Follow the link in my profile to grab one today! ✨ . PS. Everyone starts out as a beginner with a little bit of frustration & some squiggly lines- don’t let that be the reason that holds you back from continuing! ☺️ . 📷: @stephanie.elainekauffman 🌿 Go follow her!
Do something that makes you oh so happy. ✨ . Yesterday my husband surprised me with a trip to the @museumoficecream for my 25th birthday! I’ve been wanting to go there for a long time and it was so. much. fun. . I loved getting to see a bunch of adults playing and having fun like they are kids again. My favorite room was the rainbow room (first picture) because I loved the colorful, striped walls. 🌈 . If you’ve been running dry on creativity and inspiration, I want to challenge you to go somewhere new! Look for inspiration in color, design, and even in other people. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the Museum of Ice Cream, but I definitely do recommend it! 💛✨
Our words really do matter. ✨ . I’ve been a little MIA because the school year started and I’ve been focusing all of my energy on starting off the year strong with my students. My first graders this year are so fun & loving! I’m really excited for the year. . Something I discuss a lot with my students is the effect their words can have on others. They get to decide whether they will be bucket fillers or bucket dippers. In other words, they get to choose whether they will make others feel better or worse. . But, I feel like I need the message just as much as they do. Every day. I have to really think and be careful about my words. Am I speaking kindness and life into others? Or am I always complaining, grumbling, or arguing? I get to decide! I get to choose whether I bring joy & comfort to others or if I’m going to drain them! . Let’s be more careful with our words. Speak joy to others! Tell them the good you see in their life. Share in your joy and excitement- not just your frustrations. We can do this together! 💛
You can never have too many pens. 🤩✨ . I just got these @artline_usa supreme brush markers in the mail and I love them already! 😍 Swipe 👉🏻 to see a video of them in action! . Has anyone else tried these pens? Or would anybody want to win a pack of these? 😏 I just might be able to make that wish come true.✨ Let me know in the comments! 👇🏻
