I think sometimes new calligraphers get stuck in the "practice-only" mode when they learn something new. Under 's excellent tutelage, I've been able to really stretch my creative muscles with these artful and cheerful flourishes (and who doesn't need flowers?). But if all I do is practice with these new skills I've learned, then all I'll be good at is practicing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you learn something new, make a finished piece out of it - even if it's to gift to a friend or to add to your portfolio. You just have to move past that fear of the blank page and create something uniquely you. You'll be surprised how much you learn and grow just in creating these fun little pieces!

Stay warm, my friends, and let us dream of flowers and sunshine in these days.
