If you’re looking for a weekend challenge, I’ve got the perfect thing! Choose your favorite city/town/area, and use it as inspiration for an illustrated watercolor map. In this post, I’ll walk you through the process!
Paper belly bands (a.k.a. “sashes”) are a cost-effective, easy way to add elegance to any paper project! Whether you are DIYing your wedding invitations, compiling a unique snail mail package, or preparing paper goods for a store display, you’ll enjoy these three simple tutorials.
If ever you want to make a dinner party extra special, try calligraphing a menu for each attendee. Trust me, your guests will feel like they’re at a five-star restaurant getting the royal treatment!

You may have seen the title of this blog post and thought, “Well, that doesn’t apply to me!” Trust me, my friend: if you are learning calligraphy, someday it will. Just as surely as Luke Skywalker faced off against Darth Vader {and we all saw it coming}, you will one day find yourself presented with a stack of envelopes and some addresses. Luckily, this blog post will act as your Obi-Wan Kenobi, and you will triumph.
