Today, I’ve got two special treats for you! First, you can download a free pointed pen worksheet that will show you how to make an intricate calligraphy medallion. Second, enjoy the detailed video demonstration that I prepared to go along with it. Happy creating!
Calligraphy medallions are stunning works of art that are the result of graceful strokes and careful repetition. When you make a calligraphy medallion, you improve your technical skills and ability to use a pointed pen. You also learn how to make everything look balanced and develop spatial judgment abilities. While these benefits are appealing, the best part about making calligraphy medallions is seeing the intricate result of all your hard work! Today, I’ll show you how to make the “Foxtrot” medallion from TPK’s Dancing Pen Calligraphy Medallions Worksheet.
You can find the “Foxtrot” Calligraphy Medallion Pointed Pen Worksheet by clicking here. This three-page PDF worksheet is a sample from TPK’s Dancing Pen Calligraphy Medallions Worksheet! I suspect that once you make this medallion, you’ll catch the calligraphy medallion “bug”. You’ll find yourself compelled to keep making more and more of them!
I made a ~4 minute video demonstration to go along with this free worksheet. In it, I’ll walk you through the creation process with step-by-step instructions. (Note that much of the video has been accelerated. You can expect the “Foxtrot” medallion to take anywhere from 20-45 minutes to create, depending on your skill level and the materials you use.
If you enjoy making today’s calligraphy medallion, I encourage you to explore the calligraphy medallion rabbit hole! Both the Dancing Pens and Birds & Botanicals Calligraphy Medallion Worksheets offer delightful and challenging exercises.
