Hi!
I just opened my shop Blois Designs. I live in Hong Kong/ China but come from New Zealand. I've been hand lettering since last April, and decided to challenge myself to open a store. I'm learning lots as well as having lots of fun too! I'm excited to be part of such a great community :)

Hi,
I have been hand lettering for a while now and really specialise in book quotes from the classics.

I just like to start with a piece of paper and a pen and see where I end up. Sometimes it turns out great and sometimes not so great.

It's nice to find a team with like minded creatives.

Hi there! I opened up my shop in early January, and combine Calligraphy and Watercolor to create custom art and wedding + special event details. I love creating one-of-a-kind pieces for clients, and am looking into providing downloadable prints to build the business and maximize production time. Would love to chat with anyone that has insight on reproducing their own art!

[TheArtisanAbodeShop]

Hi everybody! I'm Brooklyn and I found my passion for lettering last October. Since then, I have grown my business through social media and word of mouth. I just recently began doing art festivals and I am in the process of getting my work into my first brick-and-mortar store, so I am pumped about that! It was also just recently that I started to focus on my Etsy shop so hopefully this will be a success too! I am based out of Franklin, TN. which is an adorable city located just 20 miles or so south of Nashville. Here is a piece I just put in the shop!

[TheStickyPantry]

Hello!
My name is Lauren Akers and my little corner of Etsy is @wildakers - where I sell hand lettered quotes and phrases. I also have ventured into making prints of my watercolor pieces lately. I have been hand lettering since 2013 after graduating with a degree in graphic design, and have fallen IN LOVE with creating and dreaming up new pieces ever since. Hand writing is so personal, unique, and fun! Excited to be a part of this community and cheer each other on!

Find me on instagram too! @wild_akers

Hi, I'm Nadine and I'm based in London, UK.

Have been lettering, mainly calligraphy for 6 months now and am just considering starting an Etsy shop to play around with on the side of the day job. Literally haven't got a clue what I'm doing but it's all good fun finding out! Any tips would be greatly appreciated...

My instagram is @startsandscript - feel free to have a quick look if you get a minute xx

Hi all!

I just opened my shop, which features hand-lettered quotes centered on mindfulness, meditation, and contemplative practices.

I've found that expressing my creativity through art helps me feel more centered, focused, and at peace... and I can only hope that the pieces I'm producing can have the same effect on others!

Here's a series of quotes I have been working on. I hope to expand my work to include other mediums that serve as quiet, yet powerful reminders to others to enjoy the present moment!

Thanks,

Holly

Hi Everyone!

I'm brand new to Etsy & still trying to learn to navigate this marketplace. I've been doing calligraphy for almost 1 year and have been considering the business side of it. By opening this shop I've expanded my services to include foiled hand lettered quotes for wall art/decor, party banners, decor, & photo booth props, & I am still trying to add to my shop as well.


See all my other work on IG! @lettering__bee

[4LeafLove]

Hi! I'm Ashley and I just started my Etsy shop in June. I've always loved inspirational quotes and wanted to share what inspires me with others. I also am very lucky and can easily spot 4 leaf clovers and wind up giving them to others because I find them so often...so I paired this two ideas to come up with my shop 4 Leaf Love. I handwrite a quote and pair it with a 4 leaf clover in a frame!

Hi, my name is Ada. I have been learning Calligraphy for the past year and just found the courage to start trying to sell some of my work so I have more room to continue to create. I hate the idea of just throwing something I created away. My favorite piece so far is Loyalty. I do all of my own artwork and was surprised at how well I was able to draw the hand. All the poems are Ada Originals as well.

[Former_Member]

Hi! I'm Caroline :) I live in Paris and I'm a schoolteacher. I'm french as you can guess, so sorry for my english!
I opened my Etsy shop recently and wanted to join this group as I'm still a learning calligraphy artist. The story is that I used to follow great calligraphers on instagram and some day I just gave it a go... and loved it!

I opened my Etsy shop because I wanted to share my creations on lettering/calligraphy, mostly for brides-to-be looking for personalized decorations. I'm myself preparing my wedding for october so... I know where to get my inspiration for the boutique ;)

I'm glad I found this team! I was looking for support and lettering friends... I'm gonna look for you all on instagram. My insta is @inlovelybonesblog , feel free to check it out :)

Hello Calligrafriends! I am really excited to be here and I would love to meet some of you so we can share stories and support each other.

[MelanieJaneStudio]

Hello! I am a hand letterer, illustrator, and designer based in Arlington, MA. I've been teaching myself design for about a year now, and I just launched my lettering and design etsy shop yesterday!! I'm so excited to get this side hustle rolling because it's been on my to-do list for a couple years now. I have a day job that pays the bills, but I would rather be making and lettering instead. Hopefully this is the beginning to getting there!
