This is exactly the kind of card I would choose for myself. Juliana and I must be kindred spirits - at least we are when it comes to mail.
I keep forgetting to ask Juliana if she has taken calligraphy classes, gone to workshops or conferences - or takes online classes. If she is self-taught, I'm impressed.
Below is the card from Phillip - and I love it so much. Phillip goes waaaay back with the exchange and it is well established that on the sense-of-humor scale - we click.
I didn't post the envelope since it was not an exchange envelope - but, he did sign up for the January exchange so I am looking forward to seeing what he sent. Anyone with a lot of time to kill could do a search for [Phillip] or [Finnbadger] and find all kinds of good stuff.
The photo was taken a long time ago, maybe around 2016-2017. And a card was sent to the shop where the scene was set :)
ReplyDeleteThis one is great :D
DeleteThat makes it even better - that it is an original design, including the caption. Thanks for letting us know.
ReplyDeleteMy eighth grade art teacher had us do a unit on calligraphy (many years ago!) and I was smitten. After that it's just been practice and quite possibly buying every calligraphy book known to man. I haven't had a chance to take any other classes. Maybe one day...
ReplyDeleteWe've been meaning to use this as a Christmas card for a long time, finally got around to it.
