Like my gocco purchase last year, I made another impulse buy a couple of months ago ~ a set of calligraphy nibs which I planned to use to conjure up amazing (so I thought) pieces of lettering with. I’m reminded of the calligraphy set (sitting in the corner gathering dust) because a friend of mine who is getting married  plans on lettering her own invitations and envelopes has enlisted my help. Considering how I’m still bumbling along with my calligraphy pens, the most I can offer her is moral support and some links to look at:

a modern twist at Bluebird Studios, playful lettering by Tracy Joe Calligraphy, traditional writing by Grace Connell Designs, and some more technical stuff like  flourishes and symbols and what to write on the invitations.
