How it’s made: Manifestation Mantra… 💙

First, I design my mantra ideas in pencil and go over them with a fineliner pen ✏️

Next, I insert my card into a mount and pencil the mantra on, so I know where the letters should go and where my boundaries are 🖼️

I load up my calligraphy pen with my ink of choice. This is Finetec Coliro watercolour in Sapphire 💙 Nib is Brause’s Blue Pumpkin 💙

Time to ink it in and enjoy the flow of those thick, juicy downstrokes. It’s such a mindful practice 💘

Call me nostalgic… but this was a project that felt significant. Because, these are the first wedding envelopes I’ve hand-lettered in a decade. ✨

I don’t usually take on projects like these (and I don’t advertise wedding calligraphy as one of my services), but this was a project for myself as much as it was for the lovely couple who contacted me. 👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️

There were 80 envelopes in total! So it was quite labour-intensive 💌💌💌 But I enjoyed the process thoroughly: getting back to the practice of calligraphy and spending some “me time” where I just switched off.

If you’re curious about my methods, check out my blog post called Calligraphy for Envelopes ✨💌✨

And if you’re interested in learning the easiest method there is, known as faux calligraphy - grab my free PDF. Just comment “faux” and I’ll send it right to you!

You all have been so encouraging in your feedback 🥹✨

In my survey, I have been asking you:
- Whether you have been or intend to learn calligraphy at one of my workshops, and
- Whether or not you would benefit from some online learning

And, from what I’m reading, many of you have an appetite for learning online 💡

There are definitely two groups emerging:
💻 Those who would like to learn online to make my classes more accessible (travel to Galway and weekday classes are an issue for some)
👩‍🎓 Those who do better with in-person coaching in a classroom setting

So, I’m coming up with some flexible options that I hope will embrace both styles of learning.
More to come soon ☺️

And if you haven’t yet entered the survey, you can hit the link in bio called Help me help you 🫶In doing so, you could be in with a chance to win an original piece of calligraphy art from me 💌

Also, to those of you who have entered, your additional words of support mean so much to me 🥹 GRMMA! 💗

It’s the scoop you’ve been waiting for! 🧐

My latest blog post goes into detail about how I created all the calligraphy elements for my wedding 10 years ago. 💍💒

Some pieces were large, some were small, some took hours and hours of practice, and others I did with ease!

In the blog, I share my methods, the level of effort required, and an honest critique of the results. 🫣 Be warned: I didn’t love all of them but maybe I’m being overly critical!

👰🏻‍♀️ So, if you’re a bride planning your wedding or you are just interested in calligraphy in general, grab a cuppa and give it a read. You never know, there might be something useful in there for you. The link is in my bio!

Le grá,
Louise 🩵

I’m working on new designs for calligraphy art and manifestation mantras like these give me such a boost 🌸

Especially when they’re written in pretty ink and positioned in a nice frame 🖼️

Now, please share your favourite manifestation mantras, because I’m curious… ✨😉 Drop a comment below ⬇️

Le grá (with love),

P.S. All responders to my survey will be put into a draw to win calligraphy art in metallic ink, which will be mounted and ready for framing. 💙

To win one, just go to the link in my bio and tap ‘Help me help you 🫶’

After 15th April, Calligraphy Workshops are taking a break… to recalibrate 🔧

I adore teaching workshops, but I am not sure that they are serving you, the ones who want to learn calligraphy. ✍️

🫠 For starters, they are in Galway - where many of you are not.

🗺️ They give you a start with calligraphy, but no follow-up plan.

🥱 I host them on a week night - anyone else working too hard to stay awake on week nights?

Look, they aren’t all bad. 💙 Plenty of you have shown up to my workshops full of excitement and enthusiasm and we have had a great time. But, I know I can do better. And for this, I need your help…

So, If you could do me one favour today, please pop to the link in my bio and click “Help me help you
