  • The Poetry Journal: Tailpieces, Calligraphy Art

    Dear Lovestar,

    Let’s bring tailpieces back!

    What is a tailpiece? It’s the decorative design under a poem (or any literature). Sometimes they are very fancy and complex, sometimes they’re very cute, sometimes they look ornate like a baroque church.

    As a lover of literature and classic literature, tailpieces were on every book I remember. They made a really big impression on me, and since then, I always do a simple tailpiece when I write by hand.

    I use the tailpiece as a sign that the poem (or any other handwriting) is a finished piece. If I do a poem without a tailpiece, it means it’s incomplete, or I want to work on it more.

    Tailpieces on my poetry journal

    My tailpieces compliment my cursive, and I use the same flourishes. My tailpiece themes are swirls, hearts, dots, and flowers. I like to design one on the spot and don’t like to copy them. I like unique ones.

    Infinity sign with swirl
    Swirls with dots
    Flower with swirls

    Asymmetrical swirls

    Digital tailpieces

    I realized that since tailpieces are such a big part of my literary experience, I should use them in my blogging, ebooks, and articles, too. I am going to create a library of them. These digital ones I just created on the Sketchbook app.

    Do you still see tailpieces in books?

  • Poetry Journal: The Most Romantic Poems

    Dear Lovestar,

    On my new-ish poetry journal, all the poems are my own.

    I only chose the best of my poems! Not all made the cut!

    I wrote new poems for the journal also.

    I edited my quote to say because we’re on it. I previously shared it saying because you’re in it.
    Love Transfer
    Time Capsule: excerpt of personalized Valentine’s card poem.
    Divine Love
    This lovely 😍 creation, once finished, will go on my poetry journal
    Breakfast in bed with my most challenging calligraphy yet
    Sun go down. With my signature swirl calligraphy: my own letter designs
    Half Good. My favorite calligraphy, and I’m wondering? Do I add the sexy drawing… no, I want my poetry journal to be PG13…
    Naked Soul. I dressed this fashion illustration in my clothes and jewels.

    Read about this adorable outfit in my exclusive Sex with Scorpio blog.

    Hint: This outfit is part of my 9 piece mermaid lingerie collection. Read on the app and follow that blog, which is part of my poetry collection:

    In my heart. This is my usual cursive before I started calligraphy practice. It’s far from perfect
    I honor you quote

    What are your thoughts?

    Has my calligraphy improved since I shared the hack jobs I did while writing letters at 2 AM? 😆 🤣 😂 

    With love and light,

    Eve, inspired and happy 😊 😃 😀

  • 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.
