Testing New Supplies for Calligraphers, Journalers & Creatives!

art supplies blog post-2.jpg

One of the fun parts of any creative hobby is trying out new supplies! I don’t believe that every product is for EVERY person, so I want to help you shop confidently when it comes to art, journaling and handlettering supplies.



DON’T BUY ALL THE PENS

I’m a pretty firm believer that you don’t need the most fancy, expensive brush pens to create beautiful handlettering. I think that technique & practice are some of the very most crucial parts of growing in your art and lettering journey. You probably won’t see me telling you that you MUST have to have any certain product, but you may see me doing calligraphy with my kids Crayola markers.

However, testing out new products is so fun and finding new favorites is a treat! I want to share a few things that I’ve tested out recently, mostly from Amazon, to let you decide for yourself if you think they’re something you’d love or something you can pass on.

If you’re still working on that technique part of handlettering, make sure you join my FREE 7 day handlettering course. In this small but mighty mini-course, I’ll teach you my best tips & tricks for creating beautiful handlettering… even with your kids Crayola markers!
