February Reflections and March Set Up
February 27, 2016It’s incredible to think that just last May I started this Instagram account for fun, to get back in touch with some hobbies that I let slip away when I got focused on being a student and “real person”. Little did I know, it would become a community and such growth for me, and more humbling, that over 20 thousand awesome people would join me on this journey! You are amazing for that – I have so enjoyed connecting with you, responding to comments and emails, and getting to know so many of you.
To celebrate, I’ve partnered with Kuretake Zig to offer a giveaway. They are generously sponsoring some awesome items for a handlettering bundle, and I’ve added in some other goodies. You’ve seen their stuff in a few of my posts (I use the luscious Zig Brushables in posts like this, this, this, and this) and they’re so fun to use for a whole variety of things. So I wanted to share the joy with some of you all, for being fan-freakin-tastic.
So here are the details:

I would like to see a tutorial of different flourishes you use while brush lettering. I struggle to make letters special and fancy. Haha.

I will work on this! 🙂 good luck!
I would love to use the brush pens to finally dip my toe in real hand lettering. I’ve being trying faux calligraphy but it’s time for the real thing! Lol.
I’m a total beginner so I’d love to really cover the basics of getting the most out of good pens! I’d love to win the ZIG’s brushable dual tip pens – they look so beautiful and give a lot of options for making beautiful letters.
Would love to win! Trying bullet journaling again and it brings me so much joy day to day, would love new tools to help ☺️
I’d love the clean color real brush set the most! Looking into getting into hand lettering/watercolors soon! The ZIG clean color real brush ht my eye! It all looks super lovely though!
So glad I stumbled upon your page! Beginner here so the giveaway would be a fantastic starter kit with all the pens. Thank you! Do you have any tutorials on how to develop your own ideas and creative lettering ?
This is wonderful. I love your posts and videos. Thank you!
Ok. So now I read the directions. 🤓 I’m just getting started with bullet journaling and have been working on my lettering in general. I love those tutorials. And I love the clean color real brush pens. Thanks again!

I would love the real brush pens because I’ve never owned any before! I would have to finally have my own set to try out. 🙂

I really love the Zig markers. I am very excited at the prospect of winning the real brush pens so I can dust off my calligraphy skills.
Thanks for the chance!!

so excited about this! Thank you!
Love love love all of your videos and pictures. I’m pretty new at this so I’d just devour any tutorials you already have up! 🙂
You are such an inspiration! I started a bullet journal 4. Months ago and I love it! Hand lettering is a passion of mine and I am constantly practicing and learning. I’ve now spread the experience to 6 of my friends.
That’s amazing!! You are starting a revolution 🙂

Thank you so much for this giveaway! I love the tutorials you have. My favorite types of tutorials are ones that go through different styles of lettering. I can’t wait to try some of the products that are in your giveaway. I don’t have the clean color pen so I think that’s something I will enjoy the most. Thank you again.!
This is a really great giveaway package! I just started with my bujo this year and I’m very pleased with my activity. Also got some brush pens and started brush lettering. Supet-thrilled with that. Exciting start to a great year.
I’m so new that any tutorial would be super helpful! Proper holding would be useful 🙂
As far as products, the Clean Color Real Brushes look beautiful!
Congratulations on reaching 20k!! I would love to see more about both brush lettering and regular lettering.

If would love to win the clean color brush pens! I’m a beginner and am excited to start bullet journaling!
Thank you for taking the time to give a shout-out to us.
I haven’t actually tried brush lettering as I don’t have the proper tools for it, but I’ve seen you post daily on Instagram and wondered how in the world you’re able to pull off such amazing calligraphy and hand lettering! My writing is limited to pens, and still working on it. 😛 But you’ve been a great inspiration and valuable resource. I hope you keep that up as I can tell you genuinely enjoy doing it. It’s a lot more fun to see people working on tutorials knowing that they love what they do, and you’re definitely one of them.
Clean Color Real Brush from the Kuretake Product looks amazing! I’m a sucker for 3D artwork and the sample from 3 weeks ago is just eye candy. I work on Photoshop so a lot of my designs are digital. I’d love to try something new this time and be hands on with paper, pen, brushes, etc.
What a lovely giveaway! Congratulations on reaching so many followers! Your blog posts are great, I look forward to reading them!
I would love a beginners tutorial because I’m just starting out.
And I think I’d love to win a set of ZIG’s brushable dual tip pens. They look like something super fun to learn how to use.
I am pretty new to calligraphy so I would love to learn the basics and what paper, pen is best for beginners. I would also love to learn pressure points when writing the letters. Thank you!
I would love to win the brushable pens from kuretake!
Wow, what fun it would be to play with all that stuff. Love your blog!
I’ve never tried this brand before, so this giveaway is really intriguing! I’m most curiois about those Clean Color Real Brush Pens!
I would love to learn some basic brush lettering as I am brand new to it! I would also like to try the Clean Color Real Brush pens!
Thanks for the tutorials and the chance to win!
I’ve been just getting started with brush lettering and so far i am in love.
Thank you for the opportunity to win such an amazing giveaway!
I’m a beginner and all of your tutorials are greatly appreciated and are used to continue motivate me in practicing and starting a bullet journal of my own.
I would be excited to receive it all. They would be my first set of brush pens! I’ve been practicing with pens and pencils.
I would like to see videos using the brush markers. I am hoping to buy some soon if I do not win the contest. I have been watching videos for at least a week straight and I am so ready to start practing! I love the videos with more flourishing with the letters too!
The product I would LOVE to win and use are ZIG Clean Color Real Brush markers. I just cannot wait to get a pack of my own and start using them!
I just recently started taking my lettering more seriously. I’m having so much fun. I’ve never tried the Zig brand and I’d love to!
Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway!! Even if I don’t win, it’s fun to think of how I could expand my lettering – I’m still a beginner and so I have so many ideas that I’d like to try out. I would love a post/tutorial on some basic flourishes and how you design your pieces! Also, I’d love to try a Kuretake Zig watercolor pen, that looks so exciting!
Thanks again <3!
I’m sooooo new to this!
I would love, love, love to get my hands on the 12-set of brush pens. I’ve been dreaming of getting some ever since i started seeing all of your lovely video clips on Instagram.
I’d love any Zig pen to start with and the most basic of tutorial videos to help. I’d like to see video tutorials for children, since cursive and handwriting are no longer normally taught in school.
It’d be nice if you sold a beginner’s kit of different pens. Would make it easier for me to get started instead of looking for all the different pens myself!
