Yes, it’s April 1, but you will get absolutely no spring-related content from me. It’s all #gameofthrones from now through May, so buckle up ❄️🔥👑⚔️ [From Sansa V, A Storm of Swords, as she flees after Joffrey’s wedding.

Ziller Cranberry ink. It isn’t at all what I expected but I kind of love the way hairlines dry very light red and swells are almost black. Can’t wait to see what it looks like on good paper instead of practice/warmup sheets! . . . #calligraphy #moyagraphy #postyourpractice #warmups #copperplate #gillott303 #learncalligraphy #lovemyjob #thepartingglass #zillerink #cranberry #melbourne #melbourneart #handwriting #handlettering #losttrades #traditionalcalligraphy

HALF MAN! ⚔️ I’m feeling so rusty, y'all. This winter season took most of my free time, and every time I pick up a pen it feels weird. I’m gently challenging myself to post something every day, because in order to post something I actually have to MAKE something, even if I’m less-than-pleased with it. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwPyiR3H5d3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d693cpbjqkqh

This week's #homwork had me in my feels. I suffer from terrible imposter syndrome because I spend too much time comparing myself to strangers on the internet and too little time just making stuff that makes me happy. In the calligraphy/lettering community it's easy to get wrapped up in the money making side if things, because it feels like everyone and their mama has thousands of followers and makes bank on Etsy and custom work (which I'm sure they don't, really). It's like you're not a "real maker" unless it's your "side hustle" 🙄 Thing is, I DO want to sell at craft and trade shows, as well as online, but the fear of failure or not being good enough keeps me from trying. So... Why NOT me? Why NOT now? #toomanyfeels #alittlerusty #postyourpractice #impostersyndrome #handlettering #handlettered #brushpen #tombowfudenosuke #randomgridnotebookfromswitzerland #tombow

I'm not happy with today's homework drills. Under and over curves need to be more curved, ovals need to be smoother, and the tight turns needs to be tighter on some and not so pointed on others. On the up side, I did like using my Visconti fountain pen though! - Pen: Visconti Homo Sapiens Dark Ages Ink: Pilot Iroshizuku Yu-Yake Tomoe River paper - #calligraphy #spencerian #drills #homework #postyourpractice #spencerianwithmasterpenman #visconti #homosapiens #darkages #pilotpens #iroshizuku #yu-yake
