practice makes perfect!
this is probably the greatest lesson i learned tonight at the 14th street paper source intro to calligraphy class taught by christina grace. with eight of us huddled around a high-top in the back of the store, christina taught us some of the basics of traditional vs informal calligraphy, and we spent the next two hours practicing our strokes.
we also learned how to use heat embossing powder and envelope liners, which i fell in love with! the liners really make the envelope pop when you open them, and there is something magical when you see the powder transform into the raised sparkly impression.
at the end of the night, with the rest of the girls, i bought my own set :D
