hello everyone. just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.
my name is kelly and i live in tulsa oklahoma with my husband and our daughter who is currently a junior in college. {
don't ask me how that happened...i have no idea. }
i am relatively new to the art of calligraphy although i have an sincere love of words and text. as a photographer, i love adding beautiful text to my photographs. so many times i have found myself pulling my hair out in photoshop trying to get my words to look just right. i just sit there thinking, "if i could just write this myself it would be so much easier". so that's what sort of led me into trying my hand at calligraphy. although i am discovering calligraphy isn't exactly easy.
but i love it. i actually love practicing...it's sort of meditative if that makes any sense.
been a member here for a little over a week and have had a chance to read a few of the topics and practice a couple of the pointed pen lessons. finally after a week of practice, i was able to produce a half-way decent alphabet...although to me it still looks like an 87 year-old woman who drank 12 cups of coffee made it.
anyway, thank you to erica and everyone here for so generously sharing your art and your knowledge. looking forward to learning from you all.
blessings, kelly
