My in-laws fled the horrific wildfire in Paradise, California Thursday morning. We’re so grateful they’re safe. Last night we got confirmation and saw photos of their home burned to the ground. This is how I feel. . . .

Callivember 2018: 2. Practice. As a classical pianist, I became familiar with the process of practice long before I applied it to calligraphy. It works for either art form: you get out of it what you put into it. Each piece of work represents many hours of practice. . .

Callivember 2018: 1. Hustle. I’ve always heard my parents say this word three times in rapid succession, so that’s how I wrote it.

I think it’s important to acknowledge each person’s experience, especially in times of pain and sorrow.

I’ve spending any spare moments reading lately, but I did take time today to make a plaited loaf and knotted rolls. I’m only just learning how to do it, so I decided to put the plaiting diagram in my Bullet Journal for future reference. #plaitedbread #braidedbread #diagram #plait #braid #bread #challah #challahbraid #bulletjournal #bujo #bulletjournalcollection #bujocollection #notes #pilotmetropolitan #noodlersblack #platinumdeskpen #platinumcarbonblack #koiwatercolors #leuchtturm1917 #wendywander7 https://www.instagram.com/p/BpJaLz3jExU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zvk8pnlw87o0

“Use what talent you possess.” Usually I look up each quote to verify it’s all in order before I write, but I forgot to this time and missed a great first phrase.

One of the challenges I faced when learning Italic handwriting was learning to write Italic letters with a monoline pen after more than 30 years of using only broad edge for Italic calligraphy. It was like patting my head while rubbing my stomach for awhile, but I’ve come to appreciate Italic letterforms from any nib.

As a calligrapher and as a musician, practice is a very familiar process to me, but it has made a difference for me to understand how practice functions and what the goal is.

It’s the first week of school, and my son is sick. It feels strange to know families around us are diving into new experiences while we cuddle at home amongst the tissue boxes, but it’s what he needs right now. It won’t last long.

I recently added color coding to my trackers, and I was inspired by @buujooo to add pain levels to this Sleep & Steps tracker to see if there’s any correlation over time. I use a Tombow Dual Brush Pen for the pain level and Staedtler Triplus Fineliners to plot the sleep and steps points. I used a Noodler’s Konrad with a 1.1 mm stub nib for the header and a Pilot Metropolitan with a fine nib for the tracker writing, both using Rohrer & Klingner Alt-Goldgrün ink, in a Leuchtturm1917 notebook. #bulletjournal #bulletjournaltracker #bujo #bujotracker #tracker #tombowdualbrushpens #staedtlertriplusfineliner #leuchtturm1917 #chroniclife #spoonie #wendywander7 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnIqR5nlOwn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=189xd50ft7how
