Special event calligrapher. I'm here to share my work, celebrate yours, and connect with my fellow/sister creatives. Not against taking part in a little healthy political chaos. See my work at www.Lettering.ink
Well said!

Hair spray (Tresemme Super Hold Level 4) is the secret to lettering on this delicate rice paper! Without it, the ink would bleed and feather and become mostly a blob.✌️😎

"Rustic" is the new couture - hand lettering in custom matched ink (um actually, it's gouache), on a sturdy, handmade paper. I'm loving how these simplest of elements create an upscale vibe.
