When I was in 6th grade, I had a friend with the most splendid handwriting. I've never forgotten her beautiful script and early in the pandemic, I took a class on hand lettering in an effort to have my own kind of lovely handwriting. I enjoyed the class and then life returned to some kind of normal and I - mostly - forgot about hand lettering. A few weeks ago, I read an article on fonts and thought about hand lettering and since then I’ve basically been obsessed. I’ve written notes, made endless book marks (some of which I sneak into my library books when I return them), I practice for hours in my sketchbook. It’s absolutely delightful. I like to send hand-written notes and I pride myself on having nice handwriting so it’s no surprise that I love hand lettering. I’m even toying with hosting an after school club for middle school kids come the Fall. We’ll see if that materializes. In the meantime, if you need a hand-lettered item, I’m your gal.
