One of my new year’s resolutions is to learn Spencerian script. I bought some lesson books and started the practice, and promptly found other ways to occupy my time, like accumulating tear-sheets. Since many tear-sheets are taken from Martha Stewart Weddings, eventually I come full circle to wishing that my handwriting were better.
A favorite calligrapher of mine is Rebecca Trawick of Bluebird Studios. What I admire about her style is its uniqueness. She just has really cool handwriting! Check out her styles here, and if you’d like to see more from Rebecca, visit her blog. (Her cursive-style lettering sample is superb!) I’m going to have to get back to my lesson books, or at least spend some time developing my very own handwriting style.
