Try Something New: Calligraphy

I've always wanted to try calligraphy... ever since I was a little girl, beautiful handwriting has always caught my eye.

I found myself slacking on getting into God's word and found that I was just reading without pulling anything from the passages. So, I decided to spice it up a bit. I went to Hobby Lobby (My favorite store EVER) and bought a simple Strathmore Drawing Notepad and two beginner calligraphy/artist pens. I bought Faber-Castell PITT Artist Pens. I bought one medium sized black pen and one brush and only spent around $15 including the notepad.

This is how my take on Bible calligraphy turned out.

I still have tons of learning to do on the correct calligraphy strokes, but hey, I had fun and I was able to take a verse and meditate on it as I was making it into something I think is pretty!

Happy Calligraphy-ing!
