In Art, In Life, In Love, In everything, there will always be mistakes. How we handle them is what determines the preservation of our sanity. The mistakes pictured are from a recent calligraphy job. And that got me thinking. I do not call myself a calligrapher. I am not that, I am not one. But, I am an Artist, who likes to use the art of beautiful writing and sometimes is able to benefit from practicing this art for other people to address their invitation envelopes, or adorn a loose watercolor rendering with a short poem.... a true calligrapher is very practiced, very focused on their art. They know quite a few lettering styles and use them regularly and without hesitation But, I like what I do as well because it is right for me, it is simple and fairly easy for me. When I was younger, I shied away from referring to myself as an artist. I did not go to school for Art. I felt there was no way for me to do this. Life. Was a mess. Being around artists was not a comfortable place
