One of the tasks on my 101 in 1001 list is to take a calligraphy lesson. Since that's not exactly in the cards right now, I was absolutely thrilled to stumble upon this tutorial for "faux calligraphy" from Jones Design Company via Pinterest.

I played around with different scripts and I have to say I love the way they turned out! In fact I'm afraid I've created a monster ;) Of course it's not as good as the real deal but it'll definitely tide me over... and give me a reason to keep practicing!

pinterest has the best stuff ... I think we can all agree on that!
I think it looks fantastic! I am definitely going to check that tutorial out!
Gorgeous - that is also on my 'bucket list'. What is it that draws us to that beautiful lettering? The lines... the swirls... the freedom that the penmanship represents? Thank you so much for sharing... have a marvelous day.
Absolutely love it!!! Looks real to me :)
How fun is this?! You are very good at it- I think mine would look like a 1st grader tried to do it! :)

I love the way these look..Bravo. Come on by my blog and let me know how you feel about the fashion trend of mullet hems.
That is so beautiful! I love pinterest! I could spend all day on there! I love pretty handwriting! I love practicing my handwriting and finding a new script. My boyfriend thinks it is pure foolishness though...he might be right. I think very few people older than 12 practice their handwriting!
Isn't that tutorial the best? I wrote my to-do list using her tips this weekend, and was unusually productive :) Happy Monday!
I saw that and wanted to try it. I really like my handwriting so I want to find a way to make it look more like calligraphy. I can't wait to try it out. yours is beautiful!
