it's spring break, and my roommates all went home, so i brought out the white foam boards for a photography session. didn't want to look weird while my roommates were here lol 😅

anyways, i got myself a foil quill during the holiday season and only started using it like last month. my bujo is so pretty now! literally can't stop looking at it 😍

i also crammed in some monthly spreads because i rarely take pictures while my roommates are home. so this is all I got for the past 3 months

Custom order for a special client. In praise of motherhood!💗I love the Nikko G nib for copperplate calligraphy; it makes forming letters so easy. The pen just glides across the page so smoothly! 💗

I made a Christmas card for a friend :)

Members of the Harry Potter Alliance at UC Davis (@thedavisalliance) sent cards to each other during Thanksgiving, and I sent mine out on finals week, about 3 weeks later.  I included some small samples of washi tape to make up for the really late mail, though.

Thanks @moonshinestudies for the tag again!  I always wanted to do a handwriting tag, and uh, I may have gone a bit overboard hehe

I’m not satisfied with my Copperplate calligraphy though.  I only started learning it last summer and I don’t practice often enough. And yes, I know my critical designer side is showing haha

Also, some unsolicited handwriting-related fun facts about myself: I’m a lefty, and I was given a penmanship award in kindergarten!  I’ve always had major issues with perfection and writing speed though.  I write extremely slow!

Tagging: I don’t know anyone who hasn’t done this.  I’ll just tag anyone who wants to do this lol
