Hi Everyone!
« on: January 11, 2018, 10:42:45 PM »
Thanks Erica for the acceptance, I'm so happy to be part of this talented, supportive community!

A little about me...
I'm from Vancouver, BC  Canada

I've always prided myself on having good handwriting. It wasn't until December 2016 when I had more time that I picked up informal brush lettering with markers, watercolours then digitally. Then I started seeing more pointed pen, calligraphy on my IG feed and was immediately intrigued and intimidated (my good handwriting was no match for calligraphy).

In October 2017, I picked up the 'basic' Calligraphy supplies from a local art store, bought books, watched YT videos and took an online Copperplate course and now I am completely hooked! I know I still have a long way to go, but finding this community forum of like minded people who share the same love and interest is uplifting that I'm not alone in my Calligraphy journey. I look forward to learning and sharing with you! Any tips, critiques or comments are always welcome.
