    Thanks so much.
    As a newbie calligrapher, I think I'm going to start with greeting cards and working for small businesses

    Yesss another video! Super helpful tips for calligraphers and love the final advice of starting small with 1 or 2 things 😅 Sometimes it's not about doing all things and being a generalist but focusing on a few and being a specialist - awesome job Dina!

    Brilliant video ... thank you so much. Not sure which I'll start with ... probably more greeting cards and approaching small businesses near me. I also do glass engraving now, so that will be included. Calligraphy is such a beautiful art form ❤

    Hi Dina, I watched this and your card selling video and appreciate all the tips.
    Wondering if you could advise or elaborate on what different paper types for card/envelopes I need to look for to do pointed pen calligraphy! Thank you,
    Christine

    • @DinaLu
      @DinaLu  3 роки тому

      I'm glad you're finding the videos helpful! For pointed pen calligraphy, printer paper won't work. You will need a smooth and probably thicker paper. The cheapest one is the HP LaserJet 32 lb paper, or Rodia pads. For envelopes, try to find thicker envelopes (not the ones you buy in bulk from Staples for example) It will also depend on the ink you're using. Hope that helps! 😁
