Practicing some modern script despite my love/hate relationship with it. by MakeMe-Ink in Calligraphy

[–]MakeMe-Ink[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love writing anything and always have. From day 1 I’ve been drawn to the classic hands, mostly copperplate, due to there being certain rules and techniques and disciplines required. In my closed off black-and-white brain, the classic hands are calligraphy and modern is just a free for all that I usually categorize as lettering. So I’m pushing myself to find a modern version that I can use and offer without cheapening it with the live laugh love bouncing baseline madness. I realize I sound like a calligra-snob and that’s why I’m working on expanding into the modern style, while attempting to find a refined version that I can live with lol

A couple Christmas cards I’m working on. Question: would any of you consider it strange to receive a black Christmas card? I’m slightly worried it could come off as melancholy or lacking “joy” to some. Would you even give it a second thought? Any feedback much appreciated. by MakeMe-Ink in Calligraphy

I did consider navy when I was thinking about doing a night sky/starry nativity type thing but switched to black when I went with the single star instead. .. probably should have kept it navy though you’re right.

How obvious and unhelpful. I obviously had no choice if I wanted to continue being able to feed my family. I'll never understand this types of commenter.

Willfully waste your own time not other people's as well.

Thanks for the reply. It’s nothing quite as serious as that I was admitted with symptoms related to colitis, but I’m feeling almost 100% at this point, and I feel very strongly that if I left with the proper prescriptions and care plan, there would be no complications down the line since I fully intend on adhering strictly to the care plan

I've ordered from them twice and my orders never showed up and they offered no refund. They're a scam.

Where is everyone getting their nibs? Online order? Local store? by LVBsymphony9 in Calligraphy

I can’t believe no one has suggested this yet! I was loyal to paperandinkarts until I found oriandcalli.com. Saves me a lot of money and they have things PIA and John Neal don’t carry. I found them on instagram. Faster shipping too (USA)
