Martha Lever of Jacksonville, Florida is one heck of a calligrapher and she’s got a fresh, punchy little blog to go with her talent.  If you’re doing any kind of art journaling, visual diary, lettering, or sketchbook work you need and I repeat….you need to give a click.  

She says, “I am a lettering artist (that’s a calligrapher who uses calligraphy as an art form rather than just wedding invitations) although that is an art form too. I have been practicing the art of calligraphy and lettering for 25 years. It is a difficult art to learn and it takes much patience, practice, and blood, sweat and tears. But the rewards are so great that you just can’t quit. I also am a mixed media artist and have been learning about this art for several years. It is fascinating all they mediums and techniques you can include in this wonderful kind of art. I will attempt to create an art piece a day. It might be calligraphic lettering of some kind, mixed media painting or watercolor. But the important thing is that I CREATE!!! Just creating is so important— and to enjoy the process–no matter how it turns out.”
