Confession: My Handwriting is Horrible!
I’ve always wanted beautiful handwriting, and used the fact that I’m left handed as an excuse for my chicken scratching.
When Close to My Heart partnered with Melissa Esplin to create a lettering system, I decided it was time to actually try to improve my handwriting.
I Need a Plan
I ordered the lettering system and brush pens as soon as they became available. The instruction book has five chapters, so I have decided to take my time and work through each chapter slowly.
The first chapter focuses on upper case print which I thought would be easy. It turns out I have even been holding my pen/pencil all wrong.
It’s taking a lot of focus for me to break some bad habits!
Flip Through of the System
I hope you enjoy the video I made of the new system, and the discussion of my plans to improve my lettering.
Improving Little by Little
I have really tried to use uppercase print this entire month, even if I’m just writing a short note. The hardest part has been slowing down and taking my time.
I’m loving the brush pens and instructions so far! I’m looking forward to seeing my handwriting improve over the next several months, and sharing my progress with you all.
