Making time to Connect with Letters

Thanks for popping by my site here so we can share our lettering enthusiasm together!

In this blog, I would like to share some tips and encouragement for doing calligraphy and letter writing.

One thing I love doing with calligraphy is connecting with friends and loved ones by way of handwritten letters with fancy envelopes. In my school days, I would always craft letters to keep in contact with friends and we would keep up an ongoing exchange, handing each other letters day after day.

Nowadays people tend to do our work on so many screens, with additional screens for socializing, and more for playing and relaxing. One way that we can really make a memorable impression on others is by sending them a personal letter in the classic way - in pen on paper, perhaps through the mail.

It's easy to imagine the joy of receiving a letter or card from someone we care about. Getting a handwritten note makes me feel so special!

Unfortunately, it’s all too easy to end up busy with one project or another and find it difficult to make the time to put pen to paper - or when there is time, to be stuck with a very foreboding blank page. But, sometimes that's just what we need to slow down and take a moment to relax and refresh ourselves by writing out our ideas in longform.

I feel it’s important to again embrace this additional art form and means of communication to make a memorable connection by having a smile delivered to mailboxes of those we care about.

I’m hoping to start a snail mail revival! Let me know if you'd like to be a part of it!
