Hello from Austin, Texas!
« on: April 27, 2015, 11:30:17 AM »
Hello!

I am Samantha of Wondrous Whimsy, I am a self taught calligrapher (copperplate, modern) for about 3 years. I started my wedding business about a year and a half ago and have been figuring things out on my own ever since! I am so excited to be a member of the Flourish Forum, because I have been longing to connect with other calligraphers and small business owners! I cannot wait to get to know yall and to share insight and experience and most importantly ask for help!

I have a background in graphic design and fine art, so stepping out into calligraphy full time was a wonderful extension of this, and a great way to do what I love for a living.

Excited to be here! ;D
Samantha

Hi, Samantha!  There are a ton of us Texans here at FF!  Welcome!  I'm up in the Panhandle & we have several members in Houston & Dallas!  We need to have a Texas meet-up!

I watch the Capitol Scribes' website.  It looks like they offer some good workshops!  I wish I lived closer & could participate!
