Fabulous Fairytale Calligraphy Drills! — You can click here to find TPK’s latest (and absolutely enchanting) calligraphy drills packet.

These artistic calligraphy drills fire up your creativity and keep your calligraphy creation fun and fresh!

My memory of making these drills is about as foggy as a dark and stormy night at a haunted mansion. The drills sheet was my creative outlet after becoming a mother in mid-September, and those early new-parent days can be pretty intense!

In 2016, George Style hand lettering came on the TPK scene … and I’ve used it constantly ever since. There’s just something about those stylized letters!
