My latest obsession: Calligraphy

Working in an art and craft shop I have easy access to all the tools I need. 🙂
My first purchase was a marker style “Calligraphy” pen. Failed miserably…
I wanted to get those beautiful contrasting line thicknesses. Super fat and super thin and I just couldn’t get that from the marker. They are great if you just want to make your writting look nicer for something special but to get the really fancey calligraphy stuff going they are not that flash…
I was going to move from there onto a fountain pen style pen. Just when I was about to buy one of them I had a flick through a calligraphy book and some how it convinced me to just straight into the nib and ink. And I am soooooo glad I did! It is incredible! I still have a lot more to learn (and I need to get a left handed nib…) but I am so exited about this new little adventure! If I come across any amazing tips I will post them as a tip of the day for sure. 🙂

Check out these breath taking Calligraphy pieces. So so in love… 🙂
