I do not write on my pages and I will never do! It just wrecks everything! I said a few times before … My writing is wonky, not consistent and just simply ugly!
But a few weeks ago I bought a book called “The Art of Whimsical Lettering” By Joanne Sharpe.
At first I thought why do I need this book, I can always check nice ways of writing on the internet if I ever (or rather never) feel the urge to write on my pages in my journal.
But … Smell of a new book, the shiny cover, pretty colours, and the gorgeousness of letters inside made me buy it. I think now this book is bit like a brave pill once you open it – you forget all your lettering failures from the past and your hands just start itching to write on something! To try those methods and patterns! So I am brave this time! Check my journal page guys and don’t criticise me to much 🙂 ( as I still do)
And buy the book it’s awesome!
