I’m so excited to announce that my free online lettering workshop is now live at StrathmoreArtist.com! This week we’ll be talking about Handlettering, and next week we’ll cover Modern Calligraphy.
The classes are pre-recorded, so you can join in any time. At more than 15 minutes each, they’re my longest and most thorough video tutorials ever! Plus, you can ask me questions in the forum, and upload your work in the gallery. Best of all, Strathmore is paying the instructors, so you don’t have to! Register for free at StrathmoreArtist.com.
We had the most entries for Marzi3k than we’ve had for any other giveaway! Thank you to everyone who joined in and reposted a Made By Marzipan pic on Instagram.
One winner was randomly selected to win all of these art supplies, plus original artwork!
Congrats to IG user #amiecrux, from the Philippines! She’s our first international winner! I’m already planning the next #marzi5k giveaway :)
Made By Marzipan has reached 3k Instagram viewers, so it’s time to celebrate with an Insta Giveaway! I’m excited to announce that this will be our first international giveaway: meaning that if your country accepts packages from the US, you can enter! I have some great prizes from my amazing sponsors.
I’ll be giving away a 6-pack of Pigma Micron pens in a variety of colors, courtesy of SakuraOfAmerica.com.
I use these pens almost exclusively for my handlettering and I know you’ll love them!
Additionally, the winner will receive a Sumo Grip mechanical pencil, which has a super comfortable grip and an extendable eraser.
You’ll also get this nifty zipper pouch to hold your new pens!
I’m also giving away a Tombow Mono Zero eraser. This has an ultra fine tip, making it ideal for detail work.
Additionally, I’m giving away a blank hardbound journal from Strathmore’s brand new Writing series. This paper works wonderfully with calligraphy pens and ink, or you can use it as a sketchbook or field journal.
Plus, I’m throwing in this cute little book that has 100 dotted grid sheets. It’s perfect for practicing lettering styles, with a single letter drawn on each page.
Finally, I’m excited to announce that I’m giving away original artwork. This beautiful piece was handwritten by Cher Cabula. She’s one of my favorite calligraphers, and she has a very informative calligraph blog at little-rock creations.com.
You can also win this hand-painted piece by Nate the Sign Painter. I love his old-school style!
And, I’m throwing in a couple of my own creations as well: a handmade paper cut, an introvert doodle, and a hand lettered piece.
One person will win all of it! So, if you love collecting or creating art, you’ll want to enter!
