(Try to disregard those gorgeous shoes.)
I can’t remember the last time I picked up a pen and dipped the nib in ink. I miss it, and as my due date gets closer and closer, I’m keenly aware that it will be that much longer before I’m able to do so. I emailed a local calligrapher about lessons or classes, but she nudged me toward Italic or Gothic calligraphy classes. I’m not at all interested in that. Spencerian or Copperplate or some modern calligraphy style is what I want to practice.
I had almost given up when I found this online course at i still love calligraphy. I really want to take it. It’s a month-long course, so I need to get on it if I’m going to. I’ve been mulling it over for a week and a half. It feels so indulgent…Should I just do it? I should just do it, right?
Do it, do it!!!!
What we do and do not do is determined by our heart. Good read, for obvious and various reasons.
Good day,

Do it!
Do it now, you will not have time later.
I’m doing it.
I’m so glad to hear that you’ll be doing it! I look forward to seeing your work in the gallery!
I’m excited to see that you’ll be taking the course! I’m looking forward to seeing your progress in the gallery.
Thanks, Melissa. I’m excited! I’m just waiting on my supplies!
New reader here – local in Graduate Hospital! I’m thinking about taking this class online – how was it? do you recommend? I’d like to see if this class would teach me enough about modern calligraphy to address all of my wedding invitations. Would love to hear from you!
Hi Bri,
I didn’t get a lot out of the course. I already knew the basics, though. I would recommend buying this book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0486409511/ref=redir_mdp_mobile
I used it to learn calligraphy so that I could address my wedding invitations. They turned out great!
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Best,
Stephanie
