Hello everyone!
« on: April 21, 2021, 05:15:19 AM »
Hello Everyone!

I am Metta from Indonesia. I just started learning calligraphy last March. It helps me to cope with stress and my anxiety.
I took a basic calligraphy course a few days ago, and super pumped to learn more, especially about majuscule and flourishing.
I found this forum interesting, and i think this forum could help much for a newbie like me.
My goal in calligraphy is to be able create beautiful greeting cards for my family and friends. Special touch on a gift could be more meaningfull.

Hi Metta,
Welcome to Flourish! Glad you found us and have been enjoying your calligraphy journey. What a great goal to use your calligraphy to send greetings to friends and family. This is an excellent way to practice and gain skill while creating something to give to others, rather than just practicing letters and words over and over! Have a look at some of our tutorials and let us know if you have any questions. Have fun!  :)
Warm Regards,
Erica

Metta,

Welcome to the forum!  Your family and friends will really enjoy receiving your cards when the time comes. Don't be surprised if they eventually insist on them over store-bought, like my mother does! ;)

Emjoy!
