Hello and welcome!
Thanks for visiting! Here goes my very first post on Pieces Calligraphy. This post is just a quick, “hello,” to all you fine folks out there.
Yes, I’m looking at you.
Since this is my first post ever, I figured I’d start with a little introduction. Then I want to hear from YOU!
Who am I?
I’m Sharisse and I live in Northern California with my husband and twin toddler boys. During the day, I crunch numbers in a budget shop. By night, I am writing and crafting, often with a glass of wine by my side.
I talk a lot, have tons to say, and therefore, this blog is my creative outlet. Here’s to hoping my posts keep your attention and are worth your precious time.
Calligraphy, the new love of my life
Contrary to what you may think, calligraphy is relatively new in my life. I’ve always loved anything handwritten, but only at the end of 2014 did I gain a serious interest in formally learning the art. A background in art, design, or lettering is something I do NOT have. In fact, I majored in Psychology and estimate health care dollars at my day job.
To pursue my interest in calligraphy, I took one local class and then an online class. Since then, I have continued to write and learn as much as I can, sharing my work on my Instagram account.
Why a blog?
Gradually, people would ask me all kinds of questions, such as tips for beginners, my favorite supplies to use, and troubleshooting advice. While I love and welcome all questions, it is quite overwhelming and hard to keep up with responding to each person in depth. On top of that, I always felt that a tiny little caption and sharing just one photo on social media was never enough to capture special detail behind a piece. I wanted to write more, showcase more pictures, and tell the whole story.
Thus, this blog was born! I’ve been planning and designing it for over a month now and finally decided to hit publish and share it with the world. It’s the bare bones, but that’s what makes it exciting.
