(Some of my Favorite) Calligraphers and Hand-Letterers on Instagram

Hi everyone, Mae-Mae here. Wow, it's been such a long time! I don't really have anything to say, but I will do a one month update of bullet journaling in about a week. But along with bullet journaling, this month I've also gotten into an obsession with hand-lettering and modern calligraphy. It is so much fun, and I feel like anyone could get good at it, even if you aren't naturally gifted with amazing art skills or beautiful handwriting. In this month, I've found a lot and followed a lot of hand-letterers/calligraphers on Instagram. You can see the full list of accounts I follow on the Our Journey in Journals Instagram page, but in this post, I'll just be doing a quick highlight/round-up of a couple of these amazing people.

Pretty Prints and Paper

#inspiredbyindetail for today is canvas. This was a gift my husband and I made for @dailybaileyb on her wedding day - Mr PPP painted the silhouette of their beloved puppy Dallas, and I lettered this verse from their processional song. He used acrylic paint on the canvas to paint the outline, and I mixed up #gouache for the first time! I initially used too much water but I figured it out, went over some spots twice. Love how it turned out! 💕 #jchungwrites

Lettering League is similar to a challenge in that it has a theme each week (this week it's "hustle"). People respond to the prompt, and the account reposts said posts. It's a fun way to find a bunch of different inspiration for your own lettering.

I hope you guys enjoyed this fun little round-up! I'm also very sorry for the lack of posts on this blog.

Who are you some of your favorite calligraphers on Instagram that I didn't mention here?
