    Hey Sarah! I just want to let you know that these past few weeks you have been my go to instant-click-cheer-me-up UA-camr. Of course I could watch someone hand letter for hours, but your videos are more than that. Your spirit is so kind and warm. And I can always feel your passion for art, lettering, and connecting with others in all your videos. Thank you for teaching on this platform and for sharing with us. Oh, and seeing you guys running and smiling with the stroller made me so inexplicably happy!! You guys are inspirational! Cheers! :)

    I LOVE that quote "love and confusion can exist in the same place". Going through the same season of life with my almost 2 year old little girl. They are SO fun but SOO tiring!

    • @EnsignInsights
      @EnsignInsights  3 роки тому

      You totally get it!! Thanks for sharing that with me since sometimes it feels like I’m the only one in the world who feels that way! Aren’t they in such a cute stage but also exhausting!?? 😂

    I personally love watching TV Series with brush pens in my hands, and I’ll just letter whatever words I hear!

    I know EXACTLY what you mean when you were talking about "love and confusion can exist in the same place"... so much that I teared up. My 14 month old daughter just WOULD NOT SLEEP last night until midnight!!! She has to be out the door at 8am for preschool!!! She is the light of my life, but also the biggest source of stress in my life too!? I feel so seen and heard right now 😭

    • @EnsignInsights
      @EnsignInsights  Рік тому

      Yes!! You know exactly that feeling! It’s the best thing to ever happen to me but also sometimes it can be so much to handle! I’ve been thinking lately that maybe because the hard is so hard, it makes the good that much more beautiful? But not always in the moment!!

  • @susanmartin3762

    Do you want to know what one of my favorite things about you are? That you will grab a bunch of pens and immediately put them in order by color... purple to blue to green to yellow to orange to red and back to purple! It's the exact thing I've ALWAYS done when I try to practice lettering. You've inspired me in so many ways. Thank you. ❤

    Yes, hand lettering is my therapy along with other hobbies, but it pairs best for me with journaling. I was drawn to hand lettering simply because I love pens and pretty hand writing! I love writing things down so making it look pretty is even better! It became and therapy for me when I started a daily journaling/planning as my husband struggles with Alcohol and my kids are pre teens. It was time for me to have something to do but was not super costly and could be done anytime anywhere. My favorite thing to have hand lettering are bible quotes and highlights of our day and then journaling my thoughts around the hand lettered highlights. I put very little thought into the layout and just go with it! I even at times spell words wrong and just leave them and keep going its one of my only hobbies when my perfectionism doesn't get in my way, but im still way far from publishing anything I have created because they are super personal and still need to work out more of my style. I'm also going through your book to learn more about bounce lettering!! I got to also tell you I have been in the hand lettering community for about 3 years now and just found you a few weeks ago and you have completely cured my saggy bottom and helped my lettering so much! I still can't seem to master the Crayola marker lettering but I have found brush pens that I love and work well for me! Thanks for all you do! Your a wonderful instructor and I'm itching to sign up for skillshare and take your classes!

    Hi Sarah, congratulations for your channel. I came here looking for some advices about lettering. At the very beginning I thought lettering was difficult but here I found the inspiration I need to keep forward. I live in Venezuela and it’s not easy to find or to buy the supplies we need. It doesn’t matter anyway, I’ll do my best. Thank you for everything you share with us and I ‘m sorry for my English

    • @EnsignInsights

    This is such a good list. Number 3 is my favorite! (Ps yes! Letter all the T. Swift lyrics!) I love music and lettering lyrics is a nice way to switch off my brain and just zen out. I mostly letter digitally but I think you've convinced me I need a fun journal like yours ☺️. Thank you for another amazing video 💜💜💜

    • @EnsignInsights
      @EnsignInsights  3 роки тому

      Haha yes!! Digital lettering might work for you! Do you use GoodNotes? I recently learned that you can make notebooks for GoodNotes and now I want to make one that would be like this journal!

    • @EnsignInsights

      I’m glad you can relate! I was feeling the same way as you and that’s why that quote was so meaningful! Like maybe a lot of people feel this way!

    I have a few poems that I'm rather fond of that I like to letter, something about how the words flow together so prettily soothes me just as much as the writing does 💚
    (though finding new poems can be tiresome, darn my picky soul 😋 )

    are there any letters you find yourself still struggling with even tho you’ve been handlettering for a while?.... w, r (in normal cursive they do my head in as well lol), and s seem to be mine, and l... i can do an l by itself just fine but connecting a letter to it and the loop just doesn’t look that nice.
