I have been practicing calligraphy for over two years now. It is such a beautiful hobby I couldn’t help but want to\u00a0learn how to do it myself. It is a classic story really,\u00a0that all started with a boy and a girl falling in love.<\/p>\n
It all started after I got engaged and started planning the wedding. After picking a date, the invitations were the next priority. After spending weeks browsing through invitations the only thing I knew was that I wanted the envelope to be so beautiful that it immediately set the tone for the wedding with beautiful hand addressed calligraphy and vintage stamps.<\/p>\n
Being a do-it-yourself kind of gal I set out to learn calligraphy. I had done some old school calligraphy when I was much younger. You know, the kind with the flat marker that requires you to turn the marker a certain way to get the right kind of line but I wanted beautiful modern calligraphy and I knew nothing about it. I didn’t even know what kind of supplies I needed.<\/p>\n
