Hi everyone! My name is Naomi and I live in The Netherlands. I have always been fond of handwriting, drawing and collecting notebooks. Whenever I am at the stationery or art supplies store, you'd have to pull me away if you want to get home in time for dinner. It's a shame that it's quite hard to find supplies for (pointed pen) calligraphy, though.
Last year I came across some flex fountain pens and I was sold immediately. They have opened the door to learning calligraphy, I might say. I have started learning calligraphy in January. It is so relaxing and soothing! Copperplate and Spencerian seem to be my preference so far (love the flourishes and neatness), but I am curious what else this calligraphy world has to offer! It has been a long time since I've been so excited about learning something new. My boyfriend even became interested in studying Fraktur, hehe.
The calligraphy and lettering community on Instagram have been truly inspiring and have led me here. Thank you, Erica, for letting me enter this forum! I look forward to learning more about calligraphy, meeting great people and get inspired.
-Naomi
