Give your invitations a formal and yet very personal touch of elegance!
Gold & Silver Calligraphy Markers
Calligraphy, the art of beautiful writing, is a fun and easy way to make a very special and lasting impression. Use the ancient art form on your wedding and party invitations, scrapbook pages, holiday greeting cards and other projects -- to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
All you need to get started is a calligraphy pen and a piece of paper.
Tip #1: Use professional calligraphy pens and ink.
Tip #2: Start by practicing an uncial alphabet.
You can download an online calligraphy lesson for an uncial alphabet at studioarts.net and get started right away. When you practice making the alphabet, get a feel for the strokes and curves of each letter. Try to keep your letters straight and all the same size. Once you feel comfortable using the pen and making the letters, you can learn fancier and more complicated alphabets.
There are many resources to help you, including websites about calligraphy. Amazon.com has a bunch of fantastic books about calligraphy. Plus, check your local area for calligraphy courses and instructors, if you’d like one-on-one instruction.
Take your time. Keep your hand steady. Be patient. Have fun!
