Learning something new: Brush Script



A few weeks ago Rachel shared some brush script tips over at ASWC and then I started following Polkadot Creative over on Instagram and suddenly I was seeing brush script popping up everywhere. It looks like fun so when the kids wanted to do painting on the weekend I sat down next to them and started playing.

I had fun but was also feeling really stiff and tense. I think I need to loosen up a bit and just practice writing a few phrases first so that I have some muscle memory there for how I want my text to look.

And whilst my first effort is far from perfect, it's a start and that's better than nothing.

Have you done any brush script? Do you have any tips for me?

Or is there another craft you have wanted to try but have held back for fear of failure?

  1. Never tried this. But just now checked the article. It looks interesting.

  2. Lettering freaks me out. I do not like my writing.

    1. I don’t like my writing much either, Beth. But I’m practicing on that.
