I have been hand lettering in my art journals for years. Like most people, I was intimidated by exploring my own handwriting and avoided it. I used stencils and stamps but never my own writing.
Several years ago, I was working a program of recovery and was journaling daily.
I was listening to a lot of music in my studio and way too many self help podcasts.
I abandoned both the recovery and the self help. I decided to accept myself for who I am...flaws and all.
I still journal regularly. I continue to explore my own handwriting as artistic expression and my a form of therapy and self acceptance.
How about you? Are you scared to hand letter in your art journals?
Do you use stamps, stencils, stickers or cut outs?
Care to join me in a hand lettering challenge?
I want to challenge myself to practice hand lettering and illustration daily...
...and share my daily progress as a commitment to the art of journaling...
...to grow, to heal, to become the best parent, friend and partner to all in my life.
