Hello and welcome back to the blog! It's been a long time! I haven't posted in a while nor have I talked about hand lettering! I thought that with the holidays coming up, it was the perfect time to post about gifting - more specifically gifts for hand lettering newbies! In this post I am sharing gifts that I would have loved to receive as a newbie hand lettering artist. Let me beginning by sharing my journey with hand lettering (for those of you who haven't heard it). I began my hand lett[...]
Hey pretty girl! Welcome back to the blog! In my last post I shared how I organize my calligraphy supplies. In today's post I'm going to share how I organized store my nibs. I used to keep all of my nibs in this D. Leondart & Co. case. It is very small and you can't really organize anything it in, only store nibs. It worked for the past four years, but as I am practicing more and experimenting with different nibs, I found it necessary to find a way to organize and store my nibs.I plan to con[...]
Hey pretty girl! Welcome back to the blog! If this is the first pearlfectlylettered post you've come across...welcome to the blog! Today's post is taking me back to my roots. It's taking me back to the reason I started a blog in the first place - calligraphy.I have kinda struggled organizing my calligraphy supplies over the years. This issue has always stunted my ability to practice regularly. It was always a hassle taking out a nib, a pen holder and ink every time I wanted to practice and somet[...]
Hey pretty girl! I hope you are doing well! I have been doing this COVID-19 Shelter In Place for about two months now. While I am enjoying time at home, having the ability to work from home as well as slowing down; there are parts of me that feels like I must be productive. I must take advantage of the current phase in life to spend some time doing something productive. I'm definitely not judging anyone who feels that they are totally capitalizing off of this time by doing nothing (I've been[...]
Hey pretty girl! Welcome back to the blog! Lately, my blog posts have been centered around my spring garden, but I couldn't stay away from the reason why I started pearlfectlylettered.com in the first place - hand lettering and calligraphy! Today's post is all about the calligraphy supplies you'll need in preparation for my free Modern Calligraphy 101 - The Basics YouTube Video Series. I originally planned on launching this as a course on pearlfectlylettered.com, but due to COVID-19 and the[...]
Hey y'all!!! Have you ever started a project and realized that a year...or two has gone by and your project isn't complete?!?! Welp...that's exactly what happened to me and my pantry organization. It has taken me probably over a year, maybe almost two years to complete this project. I don't cook too often and I'm always on the go; so organizing my pantry hadn't really been a priority of mine. I'm trying to be more diligent with spending habits and eating right so I decided that I was going t[...]
Hey there! I know it's been a while and I have so much to share with you all...but first things first! This post is about my favorite brush pen!!! Now, if you've seen any of my posts or visited my website you know that I am a hand lettering artist and calligrapher. I've been hand lettering for almost three years now and I've never shared a post like this which is kinda shocking but here we are. My favorite brush pen hands down is the Tombow Fundenosuke Hard Tip - the blue one! I'm not 100% s[...]
Happy New Year!!! This year has started off extremely busy for me, as I’m sure it did been for you! Welcome back to Pearlfectly Lettered! I am so excited that you were able to take some time out of your day to read my little blog post. A couple of months ago I posed a question in a Facebook group I’m a member of about lettering. The question was something like: what would they like to learn about lettering? The responses ranged from how to not give up to how to do flourishes. So, my f[...]
Hey y'all!!! Many of you know that Tombow Dual Brush Pens are waterbased right?!?! Well, I although I’ve known that the past two years or so that I’ve owned the 96-count set of Tombow Dual Brush Pens, I didn’t truly know what that meant. Well, I knew what it meant, but I didn’t know how I could use that important and cool feature in my projects. When I realized that there were so many different styles of lettering, watercolor lettering was one of those styles I wanted to learn. Earlie[...]
Hey there!!! If you know anything about me and my hand lettering journey, you know that it kinda got started due to my love for planners. It wasn’t until I started decorating in my planner that I really understood how Instagram worked. After I got a little more active on IG, I noticed this real pretty writing – which I now know as hand lettering. So, I guess I can say that if it weren’t for the interest of decorating my planner, I would have never found hand lettering. With that being sai[...]
