Inspiring Calligraphers

I've been hard at work perfecting my calligraphy skills (to the chagrin of my neck and hand).  Its coming along but I am nowhere near the level of these masters.  I've searched all over and these three ladies are by far my favorites.

First up is Neither Snow who does a very loose, flowing style with a casual flair.  I especially like how she styles her lower-case r's to look like regular handwriting.

















Next up is Jenna from Love, Jenna.  She has a very classic style with plenty of swooshes and flair.  She's been featured in some of my favorite publications including Martha Stewart and Real Simple and a number of others.  With enough practice I can only hope to have half of this girl's talent!



Finally, and definitely the most distinctive of the three is Betsy Dunlap.  She has a range of different styles and each is more unique than the next.  The angles and capitals are to die for!  I love the way she mixes calligraphy with other handwritten styles.  She'll even design your tattoo!
