Hello!

My Etsy shop has only been open since March this year and I've really enjoyed creating a variety of Art to stock it up so far.
I have loved learning new skills and revisiting dormant ones, one of which is my love of Hand Written quotes and lyrics.
So far I have just a handful of these in the shop but I'm looking to do more. I have also happily created a few Custom Orders including A4 prints of children's names and Customising a print for Father's Day.

Here is a little example of what I do if you'd like to have a look ;)

Hi all, I'm Danielle and like most of you, totally new to this! I've always loved hand lettering as a kid, but only recently started to take it seriously. Still a long way to go, but I decided to start selling my work as I'm beginning to struggle for storage of it! ;)
I'm also on Instagram @daniellestarrr, and I have a shop here under starrmiecreates :)

Hi there! My name's Catherine and I started my etsy shop 'My Quilligraphy' about 6 months ago after my wedding. For my wedding I learnt modern calligraphy and did all my signs, place names, seating plans etc. I got lots of great feedback so decided to start a shop to share my love of calligraphy for weddings, events and home decor! Still in the early phases of my shop and definitely need to get better at taking pics!
My favourite piece in my shop has to be my 'let the fun be-gin' black board sign :)

Hiii, my name is Ruth and I fiiiiinally started my Etsy shop after about a year of putting it off. I have been lettering for almost 4 years on and off but have really got into since I've helped letter signs and mirrors for a few weddings. I've been working on digital prints for the last 4 months having been asked to create bespoke pieces. I decided to create some prints to sell that I would buy + display on my walls, and I'm so pleased with how they have turned out. I feel like such an etsy n0ob so I'll take all the help I can get. Check out my pieces at: https://t.co/glotrbvjh3 or I can usually be found on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cawligraphy/ xoxo

[StacysDigitalDesigns]

Hi. My name is Stacy. I'm new to this group. I've been lettering since August 2017. I've been on Etsy for a few months, but I'm just starting to research how to increase traffic to be more successfull.

[StevenBLettering]

Hello, everyone! My name is Steven Baughman. I live in Colorado Springs and I have found that I love calligraphy. I especially love copperplate calligraphy. I would love to eventually find a way to live off my art. I am self taught and I have only been doing calligraphy since August 2017. I am interested in learning the modern calligraphy style, but it is something that I can't quite wrap my mind around at the moment. I think it would be neat to do wedding calligraphy, I have done Save the Dates and Invitations for a couple at my church and I really enjoy addressing envelopes. It really helps when one has a good work flow.

If any of you get a chance, please feel free to check out my shop or my IG, @stevenblettering and critique the business out of me! I am always looking to improve and because I haven't been at this very long, I have a lot of room for improvement.

Take care everyone!

My name is Nicole. I'm a Colorado Native who is actually just diving into this etsy shop thing. I've been doodling and writing since I was a kid. Since January 1st I've been doing a daily draw and calligraphy challenge. I have always had an affinity for writing and type font. So I finally took a class in October (after years of "not finding the time"), and as predicted I fell in love with it. I'm still practicing daily. I'm hoping to make a little side hustle and to share my little inky heart, perhaps inspire a few people. Any advice to sell, share, etc., would be greatly appreciated! Happy to be a part of the group! :) I've named my little shop Inkyheartstudio. I tend to draw at home in the kitchen, in our creative room or at a local bar with a beer.

[Former_Member]

Hi everyone! I'm Victoria and from Columbus, Ohio. I've been hand-lettering for the last five years or so, and finally have gotten around to opening my Etsy shop. I love modern calligraphy and love practicing it as well as making it my job!

My instagram is @honeyandmoonlightofficial for my shop, and is @murflegirl for my personal. I'm always open to making new lettering friends! <3

[PineandRoseDesignCo]

Hi I'm Jenafer from New Jersey! I have been actively practicing calligraphy since June 2017. I tried to jump into calligraphy many times over the past 15 years or so and I finally found a great online course last summer. I am now recently getting into the more traditional styles of calligraphy to help improve my skills. I am working on Copperplate right now and would like to start learning Spencerian when I have a good handle on Copperplate.

I started Winter Rose Calligraphy in February and am working on some content for my shop here on Etsy and hope to make this a full time job someday.

I went to school for Graphic Design and Photography. I would like to eventually grow to designing calligraphy focused wedding invitation suites. I love design as much as Calligraphy and would love to incorporate the two.

My Instagram is @winterrosecalligraphy.

I am excited to learn and share ideas here!

[customletteringbyash]

Hello! My name is Ashlyn, and I recently joined Etsy to sell hand-lettered products! I'm 15, about to turn 16 years old, and I absolutely love modern calligraphy! I live in Spring, Texas, and I love Jesus! I plan on selling hand-lettered wedding details, greeting cards, hand-lettered wood with scripture, and so much more! I'm still figuring this whole Etsy thing out, but I'm getting there! I love photography, and all things artsy! I joined Etsy hoping this business will be the perfect "summer job" that I can also continue while completing my junior and senior years in highschool! I just want to pursue a creative hobby, and use this gift that God has given me to bring glory to Him in everything I make! Please feel free to follow me on instagram, @ashlynreneeee!

[Lorysworld]

Hello everybody! My name is Loredana, I'm Italian, but I live in Germany. I've always loved calligraphy and started then with hand lettering about one year ago. For joke, I started selling my art works in a German market place for handcraft and the success came unexpected! As this platform is going to close in one month, I opened a new shop at Etsy a couple of weeks ago. I mostly paint on porcelain/ceramic, but also on paper and wood (mostly customized works).
You can have a look at my products in the shop (and maybe leave a "heart" if you like them?). I only sell in German at the moment, so the shop is in German... Thank you. I'm glad to join this team!
