Time lapse video of making anniversary gift artwor Time lapse video of making anniversary gift artwork! There’s nothing more satisfying than filling in black and white illustrations with watercolor. If you attempt artwork like this, though, allllways make sure you’re using waterproof ink. It’s a nasty surprise when you’ve spent a lot of time drawing, only to find that the ink bleeds when it comes in contact with watercolor! (I use Ziller Soot Black ink for all of my ink + watercolor projects. For artwork that I want to be archival, I always use @greenleafblue watercolors!)

For a detailed tutorial that shows you how to make something like this, visit the link in my profile! This particular artwork was created for someone’s anniversary — but it would make a great holiday gift for any couple as well. 🎄

@nicong.co just wrote the *coolest* holiday-themed @nicong.co just wrote the *coolest* holiday-themed tutorial for the TPK Blog (🤗 link in profile!!). In it, he shows us how to make fabulous gold lettering on black cardstock that’s enhanced by a bright white ornament motif. 🎄 I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t send you straight to your desk for some artistic fun this weekend! Thanks so much to Nico for another awesome creation (and detailed instructions over how to make it)!

This is the perfect #throwbackthursday reel becaus This is the perfect #throwbackthursday reel because I’m still glowing 🌟  from this compliment a couple of years after I received it (thanks again, @toni.blackmore)! It resonates because I know exactly what Toni is saying: it’s such an amazing feeling when you discover content that makes you feel happy, cozy, at ease, and inspired.

The easiest way to get your TPK hygge fix is to peruse the Blog (link in profile). That acts as a launching point to discover tutorials, free worksheets, and useful information. People also love the video courses on the site — what can I say? My Kansas drawl is, evidently, both soothing and informative. Anyway, pick what makes you feel good, and ENJOY! It’s all there for you. 🤗

Using Rousy iron gall ink (link in profile!) to wr Using Rousy iron gall ink (link in profile!) to write Simon Rous’s address in wild but crazy cool Cocktail Casual Style calligraphy. (Note that the price of iron gall ink will increase from $11.75 to $14.75 on November 21st due to supply cost increases.)

I, personally, love this calligraphy style. It’s not suitable for *any* occasion, sure, but it’s got an edgy elegance to it. It’s not everyone’s jam, though! One email subscriber unsubscribed with a huff when I released this style worksheet. I can’t remember what exactly he said, but it was something along the lines of “modern calligraphers need to stop nonsense like this!” 🤷‍♀️

You might not love calligraphy that’s wild and messy, and that’s okay. Stick to the styles that you like! Recognize, too, however, that it’s so important to *PLAY* and have fun. If your calligraphy creation is all serious, all the time, it’s easy to burn out. For me, playing means giving myself the grace to abandon some of the rules and just have a good time making flourishes and bouncy letters. That might mean something different for you. 

To learn how to write in this calligraphy style, Google “Cocktail Casual Calligraphy The Postman’s Knock”.

My “warming up” page! Your warm-up calligraphy My “warming up” page! Your warm-up calligraphy doesn’t have to look fancy, but it does need to include lots of motion, loops, and flourishes to get your hand nimble and ready to write. I strongly encourage you to get out a pointed pen-friendly scrap piece of paper before every writing session and go to town with writing whatever words (and loops) come to mind! 

What happens if you don’t warm up, you ask? Maybe nothing too remarkable. But, for me, I notice that my letters tend to be shaky and the pen is much less likely to do exactly what I want it to do. It’s important to get into the groove and really be ready to write with that steady hand and good posture!

#repost from Sleepy Bee Studio: I recently discovered @thepostmansknock and Lindsey Bugbee’s beautiful filigree leaf envelope design which I thought would be perfect for the autumnal designs I’m adding to the letters going out to all of the upcoming A/W23 workshop attendees 🍂 I love envelope art, I think getting a letter is lovely in itself but one that’s had as much work put into the envelope as the letter is something that’s very special.
