My First Calligraphy Wedding Sign

Hey babes! As promised I wanted to share with you my calligraphy journey. I’ve only taken up this hobby over the last seven to eight months and let me tell you it’s a lot of work and requires even more patience. 

I took a beginner’s calligraphy class at a local distillery which was more of a social hour rather than a skills class. However, it sparked my interest and has lead me down a beautiful journey. The class provided some helpful tools and resources like my first Tombow pen, some practice sheets and a notebook that we wrote our names on.

After the class, I was determined to practice what I had learned. I started with basic strokes, then moved onto short words and eventually to writing short sentences. The key to learning calligraphy is practice, practice, practice. Your hand will hurt a lot and everything will blur together but eventually, you’ll start to see progress.

I moved on from writing with pen and paper to writing on small chalkboard signs for family parties. I gradually moved to writing larger pieces like my front door which has been a lot of fun to change with the seasons.

I finally worked up enough courage to do something as important as a wedding sign. I’m only a beginner but with more practice and dedication I plan to improve my skills and hopefully have more projects to share with you babes in the future.
