So, it's occurred to me that WP inks (i.e.: me!) has been so busy with Calligraphy jobs (Yay!) since the fall that it has caused this Blog to be Backlogged! And, yes, I know that the image above is totally from a fav photo shoot (yes, those have been sprinkled in the mix lately too!) of mine but it implies the playfulness that I've been able to exude in some recent Calligraphy jobs. I must say, playfulness and "full-reign" has provided equal confidence thats resulted in some fun-looking, handmade graphics! I'm just so thrilled to be doing what I love and making it pretty!
On top of coercing my wonderful husband (stress on the wonder that he complies with my details and delicate demands!) to be inches away from the finish line that is the creation of the new face of WPinks.com, I've taken up a Calligraphy Class. Weekly I find myself sitting in a classroom in Jupiter, Florida- giggling like a young school girl with my classmates and ogling at the blackboard with an open eye for tutelage. I must share with you a story from tonight:
Instructor: We're going to enlarge our writing to a small poster. Create a "No ___" poster. Much like "No smoking" (envision a big, red circle with a red slash through it).
Muffled Class Reactions: ...Draw something too??...like what? Say no to drugs??...uhh...
Instructor: Be creative!
Erica's Mind: Okay, I can do creative but I'm in no mood to draw...hmm..
Erica's Poster: "Say no to Bland!"
Guess what? I didn't have to draw anything~ creative solution? I think so! Perhaps John the Instructior didn't deem it creative, but all of the female minds of the room deemed it in good humor. I believe clever was the adjective. I was so please that with my anti-bland notion that I created a subtitle of "The Movement". I'll have to take a snap of it and share so that this writing isn't so bland without images! In the meantime, below are some of the Calligraphy jobs that I've been working on recently. Enjoy!
