Poetry Journal: The calligraphy

Dear Lovestar,

Eve’s beginner calligraphy: Poetry Journal.  These Half Good words were some of my favorite 😍

I have been complaining about my calligraphy on this blog, which is unlikely.

Not because my calligraphy is excellent but because I understand that being a beginner is the learning and growth phase.

Today, I want to show you my progression in the art of calligraphy.

Notice the shakey hand of a beginner… This was my own design.

Calligraphy Tips:

I got books to learn and inspire my children (my homeschooling tactic is I learn what I want my kids to learn, and as they watch me, they get motivated and choose to learn also).

We also got the right tools for calligraphy

I have been learning from the books

This way of writing letter C I had seen in the past but it was my first try. Learned this weekend from a book.
I love the letter B!
How many ways can a poet write Love? That is a post I’ll share in the future.
The spiky Love was my favorite. My daughters felt it was too embellished, though
I copied the calligraphy of this poem. Not my favorite, but it was great practice.
Hearts letters: I have been working on my heart letters forever, and these are of my own design. My second daughter has started to draw heart letters and has started doing the lovely swirl flourishes that I have always done.
The calligraphy of a poet includes heart flourishes
B is one of my favorite letters
First time with this style of lettering. Or was it really because I remember this style from before. I know my dad did lettering like this…
Is calligraphy like meditation? At least for me it was. It was extremely healing.

Yes, this has been my eclipse gift! Thank you, universe! I’ll never forget this gift!

I’ll be showing you more of my poetry journal this week, including the poetry.

With Love and Light,

Eve, the poet calligrapher.
