The last week has been the week of calligraphy/hand lettering for me! It’s so fun to start getting into this more – learning and practicing, and practicing some more. I just got the Nikko G nib and feel in love from the first stroke. haha cheese, I know. ;) But seriously, it’s a great nib! It’s stiff enough to make those thin lines easy, but flexible enough to give a nice thick stroke. (Aaaand I got some pretty sweet gold ink today that I am SO excited to start playing with!!) I decided to start something I’m calling #adrawingaday – I’m going to hand letter something every day of the work week. I’m hoping it’ll be great practice, plus a good way to get my creative juices flowing before I really start my day! (Below – the first of this series of “drawings.” Cause I mean it is like drawing, right? You’re just drawing words, that’s all.)
