One thing I have learned since entering adult life is that having a hobby or two is crucial to maintain sanity. Photography is really one that my husband got me into and it is something we enjoy doing together. Lately we have done several photo sessions for friends and something I like to do is add a personal calligraphy sign.

For this session I used a piece of wood my husband had cut and stained for me. I purchased several white markers to see what I liked most. Honestly, I recommend the chalk over the sharpie, only because the chalk you can remove if you massively mess up.

In my wrapping paper container, I had some kraft paper that worked perfect to practice on. Played with a few fonts and ended up going very simple with a modern style. I prefer Spencerian or Copperplate, but for this sign I wanted to look more modern.

Really enjoyed making this! Hoping I inspired you to make one for yourself or even a friend.

Warmly,

Lauren
