Calligraphy

I often use calligraphy when signing greeting cards.  You can purchase calligraphy markers with a variety of colors.  I found that markers are easier to use compared to the traditional ink.  It takes practice but eventually you will develop your own style.  I also like to draw with calligraphy markers. You can create some cool designs just by using different strokes & angles. Try basic shapes first then move on to intricate designs.

Night Stars

Would you like to create a night sky to hang indoors?  Take black construction paper & white chalk.  Draw small circles scattered on the construction paper with the white chalk.  Take a tissue then dab a few of the circles to give the stars a hazy appearance.  Try adding blue chalk for creating blue color stars.
