Making and Keeping Connections while Traveling the World
Making and Keeping Connections while Traveling the World
My brother and his daughter have birthdays in early February. I created these adorable birthday cards for them, and Jackson helped me with the scoring tool, so that we could fold them easily and get the in the mail.
I created both cards in Adobe Illustrator, using a template I had set up previously. It is for a 5X7 card, with fold and cut lines. I also bought these cute watercolor woodland animal designs from Creative Market.
I’ve signed up for Calligraphy Lessons!
I’ve only had one session so far. This style is called Copperplate Calligraphy. I’ve learned the basic shapes that make up the letters and a few of the lower case letters.
It really reminds me of the cursive writing that I learned while in school. So far, the exception is the letter P. In calligraphy, we don’t close the loop at the top.
The instructor came to the house. She brought the pen, nib, ink, paper. Really everything I need to get started. Now it is up to me to practice daily. My next lesson is in February, and I want to be ready for what comes next!
