Notecards
Inspired by The World Needs More Love Letters, I set out to the bookstore and bought a bunch of plain 6″ x 4″ notecards. I also wanted to get a calligraphy set but alas, they didn’t have it. I miss National Bookstore SO MUCH.
Armed with my Pilot Hi-Tecpoint V5, I tried some fake calligraphy.
The default word
Started with simple ones to see how it felt writing on the notecard. It seemed to work well with my pen. So, yay!
From the wonderful Neil Gaiman
I had to throw out a bunch because I wasn’t satisfied with the uneven weights of the shading. I wish I had a proper pen.
For J and C
I was getting sick of my cursives so I experimented a bit. I am very happy with how these ones turned out.
For JAm
I am planning to do more and mailing them out to my friends. So if you have a quote or a line of a song that you really like, drop me a note so I can make one for you!
Just wanted to share — I wouldn’t say it’s my fave line, but there’s one Ed Sheeran line that keeps popping in my head when you asked me this. It’s from Drunk:
“To tell you the truth i hate what didn’t kill me, it never made me stronger.”
That’s not exactly a positive line though… and i think your notecards should only spread positivity. It’s a love letter of sorts after all. Hehehe!
