Because I'm Not Busy Enough...

Sometimes I stumble across images like the ones below, and I think about how much I would love to take a calligraphy class one day, so that I too could write as beautifully as this...

Don't worry, I'm well aware that a lot of these are stamps and letterpress... but wouldn't it be nice, regardless? I'm not pushing myself on the perfection thing, I actually just think it would be really fun. You know if I could write like this, you would ALL want a Christmas card from me this year, wouldn't you?

Have you ever thought of taking, or actually taken a Calligraphy class? Anyone in Toronto know of anywhere I could do something like this? I bet a one day workshop would be more up my alley than taking on more classes!

  1. I took calligraphy in high school and fell in love! I did all the addressing of my wedding envelopes, which took forever, but it looked great! Nothing like the samples above though (I love the second picture the best!). Unfortunately I don't know of any classes, but often I find the right pen/marker works. Just buy a calligraphy pen and start practicing! You'll get the hang of it!
