I was recently commissioned to design three greeting cards based on my “Be Brave” piece (you can commission something too by visiting my etsy shop or emailing me at wordsandwares@gmail.com, I’m fine with either). I had a lot of fun doing these and the calligraphy on “Grateful” is some of my best yet in terms of balance.
Also, I’ve thought of going ahead and making cards with this design to sell in my etsy store (I retained the copyright for these). Any thoughts? Takers? Do people still use greeting cards? I used to correspond via snail mail with frequency but I simply do not have the time currently. Also my actual handwriting is incredibly hard to read. I’ll demonstrate how to write a letter for my kids and they’ll scrunch up their face, tilt their head, and tell me “but that’s not how it looks! Don’t you know how to write?!?” Anyways.
Materials used (affiliate links are included, I go through a lot of art supplies!):
Strathmore Mixed Media Paper (I go through tons of this stuff)
Faber-Castell PITT Artist Pens
Dr%20Martins Bombay India Ink 1 Oz Black
And my calligraphy pen; I have a Speedball holder and I used a Speedball C3 nib.
Happy Tuesday!
