As I child I loved to write. There was just something about having a big fat No. 2 pencil in my hand and a thick pad of lined paper. I loved to practice writing my alphabet like the school books showed but what really intrigued me was making my letters fancy. It seems at a young age I found a love for hand lettering.
Over the years I would hand letter a card or the address on an envelope but I had really gotten away from practicing what I loved. So recently I picked up the pencil again and started scripting.
Making gift tags is something I really enjoy and here are a few I’ve made.
Getting back into the art of hand lettering is like riding a bike. You don’t ever lose the skill but it takes a minute to remember the techniques and to strengthen your body to enjoy the ride. Boy is my right hand sore.
I feel like I’m back in the saddle again with my hand lettering so look forward to me sharing a few more projects with you throughout the year.
Cheers to a great weekend and embracing the things that bring you joy.
