Making a Name-Only Calligraphy Envelope

[@manujagupta5466]

I have recently started studying Formal Copperplate from the book by Eleanor Winters. I also watch Paul Antonio's videos. The difference between your teaching and theirs is that you tell us that it's perfectly fine to be imperfect and that the flourishing needn't be one continuous stroke.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Most definitely! I am a big believer that calligraphy is for anyone and there is no sense in being perfect! Tons of beauty can be found in the imperfections and flaws or our work!

[@lorileineroorbit]

I have learned sooo much from Lindsay over the years. The KZbin videos are an added plus, thank you for doing them! 💕

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

My pleasure! They are really great for connecting with those who follow TPK and me! Thank you! 😊

[@kathleengodfrey7069]

I love how this tutorial showcases the style and script of the calligraphy itself

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

I agree! It really is a neat technique! I encourage you to try it out!

[@xelgaporos2974]

I love the way you take your time to correct and balance the letter's and name. A very helpful video, thank you.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

I am so glad that you enjoy! Thank you for watching!

[@TheSillygirl64]

Your tutorial are so easy to watch and to learn from. I look forward to each and every one of them.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Thank you! I am so appreciative of that!

[@CindyHedstrom]

You make this look so easy. This is a craft I’ve always wanted to learn. Now that I have retired I have time to practice. Your designs are absolutely beautiful.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Thank you so much! I encourage you to try it out!

[@laurashehan1405]

As a newby, you sure make this look easy. Calligraphy is something I always wanted to learn, but I find being left handed always has issues. But, I don’t let it get me down…I just preserver and you are certainly a mentor of the art and what I strive you accomplish down the road. Your designs are absolutely beautiful.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Thank you so much! I am sure being left handed poses quite the challenge, good for you to continuing to try and learn!

[@diannegarrett852]

I have also just retired and look forward to spending much more time on this art. Everything you do is so very beautiful as is everything you do on The Postmans Knock. Thnak you!!!

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

That is so great to hear! I hope that you have a great time along your journey! Thank you for supporting!

[@bhavikapatel2674]

It's rare that I put the full address on envelopes (all of yours are GORGEOUS!!) so the name really counts! I always want to find new ways of embellishing and this is perfect - thanks Lindsey. Can't wait for your book!! :)

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Thank you! I too am so excited for the book! I hope that you try this out and love the technique!

[@aprilmcgrath3936]

It's so helpful to be walked through your process here. Your resources are wonderful. Thank you.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

I am so glad that they are helpful for you! I wish you the best of luck with future projects!

[@dariawilber2213]

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Thank you so much!

[@nadiaandres5511]

I love the “Jorge Luis” one!. So beautiful!!

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Thank you so much!

[@celticpeasant9753]

I love your videos and learn so much from them. It makes me feel so much better about my own calligraphy to see you go back and correct the lines too (I thought I was 'cheating' when I did that - lol). Thank you so much for this. 💕🌹

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

I am so glad that you enjoy! Yes! It is such a process and everyone has a unique way of doing calligraphy! Don't be afraid to make mistakes! Good luck!

[@stacyfurrey3245]

I don’t often have time to watch your videos, but this is super encouraging ❤

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

I am glad to hear that it is! Thank you for watching! 😊

[@jenniferross7341]

Doing names on envelopes is actually how I got started & practiced!!

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

No way! How great! I am so happy that you are enjoying!

[@sherrywoods4630]

It was interesting to see your entire process and what/how you decide on a design. I am also heartened to see all of the starts and stops. I felt like something less because I do that and go over bits that need fixing. I see that is part of the process and it’s fine to do so. Thank you!

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Totally! Everyone's process is different! Do not get discouraged! Thank you for enjoying!

[@barbaraleonard81]

You sure take the intimidation out Of the process! Thank you so much for the ticket to fly!

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Everyone can do it! I hope to make calligraphy feel a little more approachable to everyone! It is my pleasure!

[@RM-rt2zq]

[@Gabriela-ki8ml]

I want those flourishes, wish I had the time to practice only that till I get it mostly like this.

Try and practice in your everyday writing! So glad that you enjoy! Thank you!

Composition rulers are SO useful! I am glad you are enjoying thus far! 😊
