September 30, 2016 at 9:03 PMHi Kristine! These are works of art! Absolutely beautiful and uplifting at the same time. I wouldn’t mind having one hanging on my room’s wall. Perhaps you can make them into products that you can monetize. But yes, passion need not be monetized. Hope you’ll learn more awesome skills that I’d love to see 🙂

September 30, 2016 at 9:08 PMMy husband is a leftie! And actually admire people who are left handed. Its true that they have special writing and artistic talent technically. My husband has a pretty penmanship, much better than mine! Your works are amazing! 🙂

September 30, 2016 at 11:54 PMOooooh, I’m a lefty and I suck at calligraphy. I feel bad though cos I’ve invested in a lot of brush pens pa naman hahaha The struggle is real!

October 1, 2016 at 12:04 AMSigh, I am not a leftie BUT I am a frustrated student of calligraphy. I can’t seem to practice ever, though I want to. I suppose when my kids are older and they want to be away from me, haha!

October 1, 2016 at 8:22 AMI love calligraphy! I just wish I have all the time to do this kind of art because I believe it’s really tedious 🙂 I’ve read a lot about The Pen Meet and I really hope I can join next time.

October 1, 2016 at 12:15 PMSo generous of you to share those drill sheets. Permission to print them, please. But I need to look for a more appropriate paper because when we photocopied the drill sheets provided by the calligraphy class we attended months ago, they ink seems to be off or basta, there is something about the ink not being totally absorbed by the paper. Meron ba tlaagang ganung instance? Thanks.
Maria
October 2, 2016 at 7:02 PMYes, the paper I use for practice is at least 80-100 gsm and that’s for the brush pens. For the dip pens, at least 200gsm so the ink won’t get absorbed by the paper. 😀

October 1, 2016 at 4:16 PMI’m not leftie either but I have a feeling that my son’s going to be. Which is a bit challenging, specially when it comes to teaching him to write. Calligraphy is wonderful and I’ve been wanting to be able to try it out. I hope one day, I’ll be able to join a calligraphy workshop. 🙂

October 1, 2016 at 4:48 PMI agree with you that liking what you do is happiness. 🙂 You have a nice handwriting. I agree that being a leftie is not an excuse. Well, there are those who have their right hands are their dominant hand but do not write legibly.

October 1, 2016 at 6:44 PMI find that the lefties are smarter, really! When I was still in high school, I think 6 or 7 out of top 10 students in our class are lefties! So there really is a lot of potential a leftie person has. Like you. Your determination on pursuing your passion in calligraphy is very inspiring. I think I should be practicing or exerting the same effort as yours when it comes on pushing through to what I claim as my passion in life.

October 1, 2016 at 10:04 PMHey hey hey! Great work on those strokes! I attended a friend’s Calligraphy workshop and I saw a leftie that was A NATURAL. Her strokes were precise but not forced at all! Hehehe. Anyone can do calligraphy, am I right? Hehe. Nice sheets.

October 2, 2016 at 1:58 PMThese are great drills and sheets for those who want to try out calligraphy. I’d share this with my wife since we already have the pen and the ink. One for my wife and one for me. Good think we got them for free from a bridal fair giveaway.

October 7, 2016 at 3:24 PMGreat that you think of all the lefties here. I’m not a leftie but I am not that experienced at all. I noticed myself as well that lately I’m so busy with other things than my blog and it’s too bad.

October 13, 2016 at 5:56 PMThese are great drills. Gotta get those fingers working. I’m classically trained in piano. that’s a different art form. But it follows the same practice-makes-perfect mantra. I thank my daily childhood piano drills for making my fingers nimble and my typing speed immaculate. Haha!
Maria
October 13, 2016 at 10:27 PMOMG! I play the piano too!! And more on the classical side. Yay! I’m thankful for learning it as well, it helps with the typing and the discipline with the hand and fingers. 😀

December 19, 2016 at 11:59 AMCalligraphy is something I would love to learn. I am practicing using brush pens and it was not really easy! I really need some of these drill sheets to practice on. Do you think right-handed folks can also use? Either way, I’m saving these so I can print it for my sissie who is also a lefty and is dying to learn calligraphy as well! Thank you! ^_^
Maria
December 21, 2016 at 12:31 AMYes, of course! Thank you as well. 🙂

February 22, 2017 at 9:50 PMOMG HOW THE HELL DID I NOT KNEW ABOUT YOU?! You caligraphy is amazing! Please tell me you make those videos on instagram that I spend way too much time watching? I LOVED YOUR CALLIGRAPHY! I’m not a lefty but yeah, nevermind, I’m obsessed with calligraphy.
Maria
February 23, 2017 at 8:06 PMHAHAHA! At first, I thought you’re shouting at me but I just felt you’re too happy or giddy when you stumbled upon this. I’m not sure though but I have some videos on Instagram too. Thank you so much for liking and loving my works! 😀

March 6, 2017 at 6:16 AMThat’s awesome to have for all the left handed people. I’m sure a lot of lefties will appreciate the sheets. I am right handed, but I will tell my friends if they need this. Great work on the blog, keep it up!

March 12, 2017 at 2:05 AMCalligraphy is a fascinating art form. I have tried Arabic calligraphy once before in glass painting. It came out really well that I have kept my painting in my living room. I am sure your sheet is quite useful to the lefties. Keep bringing lots such work. Quite impressive 🙂
