April 17, 2020 – Irreverent quotes that are
spot-on
I dabble
in all sorts of things; one is calligraphy – off and on over the years.
Last
year I took calligraphy classes in Copperplate.
It takes practice, lots of practice and quiet time – something that
seems to have vanished from my life.
The quite
time hasn’t exactly vanished, I just think it is a case of poor time management
at this juncture of my life - I am being a slacker – that’s all. Time I kicked
myself in the butt and pulled up those boot-straps again.
Every
once in a while, I get a Pinterest pop up that has calligraphy and this morning
I browsed aimlessly with my second cup of coffee. I know how to kill time on the internet just
as well as anyone else.
But,
I found something for the quote collector, that is me, and the calligrapher,
also me, and I would say for any women who has grit, spunk, and is outspoken,
those that know me, might say I fall into that category.
I
suggest you visit:
This
gal, based in Melbourne, Australia – has it together.
She
has videos of her writing snappy quotes in calligraphy. Trust me, go to her
site and experience it first hand – words can’t describe how mesmerizing it is.
What
better way to learn the flourishes and movement of the pen, and to be
mesmerized by her certain and swift hand.
JUST AWESOME!
So,
this is a shout out to this gal, a total stranger, but I like her – I even like
the quotes with “f____ing” in them – I nod
and heartily agree. She has a twisted
sense of humor that is honest.
Have
I piqued your interest? I sure hope so.
I
will leave you with a couple of irreverent quotes that I admired from both the
calligraphy and the quotes she wrote:
Sometimes
you just have to burn the
bridge
and learn to swim - @ thegoodquote
I
just want to thank all those who’ve destroyed me
into
the person I am today.
Stop
being so f___ing forgiving,
people
know exactly
what
they are doing.
Coronavirus
ain’t shit, my
ex
was more toxic.
