Hi I’m Henriette, I go by ‘vlatorn’ (pronounced fla-torn) since there’s only two of us in the world, the other being my 4,5 year old daughter Norma.
I’m 36 and live in Denmark, small country with about 6 mil inhabitants, and we speak our language ‘Danish’ which have three extra letters: Ææ Øø and Åå
Those can be hard to find exemplars for let me tell you!
I’ve always been creative - painting, drawing, and always wanted to make sure my type was just so.
I started lettering in November ‘16 when I received a tombow dual set, with the intent of coloring with my daughter, but lettering sucked me in haha!
I joined IG and soon took part in a load of challenges and loved the community it brought with it.
In January ‘17 I got my first pointed pen and since I’ve been in love trying my best at modern calligraphy. The possibilities and challenges are endless and so are the ink-stains on my hand since I’m a lefty! (Go team smudge)
I simply love making calligraphy and the community that surrounds it. And I’m so happy to become a member of Flourish. I hope to find a lot of friendships, resources and hopefully to give back where ever I can. I love to help.
If you feel so inclined my IG is:
