A card a day...

Starting Monday June 6 I am going to start a personal campaign "A card a Day!" For at least 30 days I want to make at least 1 card per day. Simple to elaborate depending on the day I am sure. I want to stock up my Etsy store and really get my feet wet. I have been doing research on new techniques for a few weeks now and I have a wonderful callig friend MAUREEN!!! Who has passed along some wonderful materials so I am really stoked about jumping in. If I could stop working outside the home for a bit then maybe I could get more done :)

State Fair is a definite on the agenda this year... (I have said that for the last 5 but each year I get closer and closer) Baby steps.

Sample request

I have posted new samples of my work... if there is ever a time someone wants to see something in particular you can leave a comment or send me a private email at calligraphywithtlc@gmail.com and I would be happy to mock up something for you.

New Samples

Advertising!

I am so super excited that I couldn't wait to tell everyone... I am finally taking the leap to advertise with Perfect Wedding Guide. I am so motivated to get energy pumped back into my Calligraphy business. I miss it!!  I had to step away for a bit to concerntrate more on school but I am back!! No... I am not giving up on school but rearranging other things in my life to make room for what makes ME more happy and that is my art (of course second to my wonderful family :)

Super Stoked and have new work finished just waiting to be photographed so stay tuned...

Vintage Letterpress

I am in love with this art form. It amazes me how over 100 years ago they were able to come up with such a sophisticated way of making posters and printed art. I am so happy to see it is still alive somewhere n the world.

Rusted Nib

Being so busy and forgetting to clean my nib right after I used it look what happens :(  This is a Brause nib which is a very good high quality nib. Shame Shame on me...

April ATC

Boy I really needed MY creative outlet today.  It has been a little hard training myself to be a different kind of artist. OK "little" is a HUGE understatement. But regardless I have to do it to succeed in my ultimate goal.

So today for a littel bit anyway I put the school work to the side and I made my ATCs that were suppose to be shipped out May 1... sorry Ladies!  Punctuality has not been my strong suite when it comes to "fun stuff" so many things I have to meet so I have to put my fun on the back burner. There is a photographer that I found on facebook

I could certainly go broke on this Photography, absolutely stunning.  But I had to guge it up a bit for the ATC :)
