I have long wanted to calligraph something by @wilderpoetry but have struggled to do it justice until now. The poetry on this account speaks to my soul on an incredible level. I interpret this line as not being an exclusive one, but inclusive, for the word 'peculiar' is subjective, is it not? And so I do not walk (or swim) only with my fellow mermaids, but with the faeries, dwarves, humans and all creatures of this Earth — because the quirks and habits we possess that make us so different and strange from one another are precisely what we have in common with each other. . . . #calligraphy #calligraphysg #calligraphyuk #wilderpoetry #poetry #poetrycommunity #pointedpencalligraphy #handwritten #copperplate #copperplatecalligraphy

So today I thought I'd leave a little something anonymously in a library book for a fellow reader! I've been wanting to do this ever since I arrived in the UK. I do hope it makes whoever who finds this happy. And this is weird but I felt so sneaky doing it! I totally like jumped when the librarian walked past me 😝 #bookstagram #calligraphy #instabooks #bookquote #calligraphyuk #calligraphysg #copperplate #library #norwich #norwichuk #tolkien #lotr #lordoftherings #returnoftheking (at Norwich Millennium Library)

Happy New Year! 🎉😊 For those who enjoy my calligraphy, I will be doing more of that over at @sirenscripts on Instagram from now on. I finally found the courage to do it, which is kind of linked to my resolution for this year 😊 The 2015 live-action Disney Cinderella remake left a lasting impression on me, and even now I still believe this: That kindness without the courage to display it renders it useless, while courage without kindness is even worse and extremely dangerous. Two seemingly simple values/concepts, yet vastly overlooked. And of course, when there is kindness, there is goodness, and when there is goodness, there is magic. ✨

Italian Hand always gives me a crick in the neck... and (un)fortunately my love for it is a kind of madness too 😉 #calligraphy #italianhand #pointedpencalligraphy #straightholder #calligraphysg #calligraphyuk #handlettered #friedrichnietzsche #quote #calligraphyquote #thedailytype #madness #calligraphylettering #calligraphy_lettering #calligraphydaily #calligraphypractice

This is like a galaxy tunnel, but full of aurora borealis 🌌 (I think the thumbnail actually looks much cooler though 😂) Really wanna go back and shoot here! #norwich #norwichuk #norwichafinecity #uk #christmas #christmaslights (at Norwich City Centre)

"Everything takes time. Bees have to move very fast to stay still." 🐝 ― David Foster Wallace, author Am rather happy with this shot, although I do think my shutter could've been a teensy bit faster. #mothernature #bee #naturephotography #sherlsroadtoNUA #flowerphotography #flowersofinstagram (at Norwich City Council)

I know that 'change is the only constant' and all that jazz, but this is something Madonna once said that I feel inclined to spit back out at the world ― as a reminder, as a source of comfort, no matter how small ― in light of EVERYTHING that has happened this past month, and before I lose my faith in humanity. #calligraphy #calligraphysg #pointedpencalligraphy #madonna #madonnaquotes

Painted this jellyfish by following @maskd_j’s cool YouTube tutorial 😄 As a beginner it was super helpful!

Here are some jelly facts:

1. Jellyfish can clone themselves if cut in two

2. Some jellies are immortal

Jellies also bear a striking resemblance to plastic bags underwater ― the latter which are commonly mistaken for food by sea turtles, dolphins and whales. Let’s all take responsibility for our trash. 💪🏻 #watercolor #watercolour #jellyfish #jellyfishart #art #watercolorpainting #primamarketing #watercolorconfections #oceanart #seaanimals #seajelly
