Hello Again! Today on Reading Wednesday (even though it’s Thursday \ud83d\ude09 ) I’ll be sharing something a little different: Calligraphy Made Easy<\/em>. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

One of my goals this new year is to work on getting a little better with some of my hobbies\/skills. Calligraphy is one of those things I enjoy doing, but I’m not too confident that I can do well. I figured some of you might be in the same boat. So, I thought I’d share a book that’s good for practice and art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was gifted this book, Calligraphy Made Easy<\/em>, a few years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here, as you can see, the different strokes are demonstrated by the illustrations on the far left. On the right you can see letters that I made. On the right hand page is more space for practice. There are several other pages explaining different techniques, flourishes, and styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Towards the back of the book are projects such as this. I liked the look of this illustration, so I decided to copy it as closely as I could. Of course, you could put whatever phrase that you like. As with the practice exercises, the book version is on the left, and mine is on the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once these pages are finished, they would make very pretty pictures for the wall, or perhaps slipped into the front of a binder, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Well, this is the last one I’ll share for now. \ud83d\ude09 I thought this one was pretty, so I just copied it as best as I could. Even just flipping through this book again is inspiring me to start a calligraphy project… Any suggestions as to what I should make?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and here<\/a> you can see a project I did with regular handwriting. Not everything has to be fancy to look nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to find Calligraphy Made Easy:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’ll leave a link to the book here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that’s all for now! I hope you enjoyed this post! ~ Emily<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
