DIY Hand Lettering Art + Freebie

DIY Hand Lettering Art + Freebie

I LOVE hand painted signs, and I feel that with so many fonts, graphic tools and apps out there people have forgotten this gorgeous form of art. The romanticism of a hand-written note, the nostalgic air around chalk signs inside stores, invitations with your name in script (as in “someone took the time” script)… I miss it all! So, considering I have no clue about calligraphy (would love to learn!), I decided to go at it with a bit of DIY and instinct. At the end, I think it looks a bit naive, but because the quote I used is naive too, I actually think it works! Though this is obviously a Beatles’ quote, I was actually inspired by the way Dakota Fanning says it in I am Sam. Best use of “All You Need is Love” ever!

Anyway, I hope you like it and feel inspired to do it on your own. I also created 2 desktop background freebies that you can download at the bottom of this post.

Nostalchic: DIY Flower Statement Necklace

Nostalchic: DIY Flower Statement Necklace

Spring is back and so are flower prints & necklaces! This time I challenged myself into creating a statement flower necklace that looked like no one else’s. I can’t stress this enough: I hate to see someone else wearing what I’m wearing. And this is NOT a matter of selfishness, it just reminds me of how everything we wear and use is mass produced by people who are probably underpaid. So this necklace is not just a statement because it catches the eye: what I’m really trying to point out here is that we should celebrate our individuality. Our creativity, the right to express ourselves, and the right to be/look different.

I wanted to share this project with you in case you also feel like creating a unique piece for yourself or someone you love. It takes time, but is SO worth it at the end!
