Karla's Picks for Amazon Big Deal Days
Hi friends,

Written Word Calligraphy Amazon List
Writing Tools
- Le Pen Flex Brush Pens - These are my current favorite flexible tip brush pens! In fact, these are what are included in our Advent Calendar
- Pentel Brush Touch Sign Pen - These are the ones in our Spring Edition Brush Lettering Kit. We love the thickness of the pen of these ones
- Tombow Fudenosuke - Another wonderful brush pen option!
Crafting Tools
- Kingtool Hot Foil Pen - This is the exact tool I use to personalize some items in our shop, like our vegan leather.
- Yokefellow Drill - I have a similar tool to this (same brand) that allows me to engrave on glass and metal surfaces
- We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill - If you've been here for a long time, you might remember this was the very first IG reel I made that blew up !!! It still works great though!
Paint + Supplies
- I love using a watercolor palette for painting artwork. I own this Windsor & Newton one both in regular and travel size but the Sakura Koi one looks so cute too!
- Princeton Brushes are truly amazing for watercolor, I own them in multiple sizes. For the smallest brushes though, I found some that had a thick handle that really help me with details.
- Legion Watercolor Blocks are amazing if you want to have wrinkle-free artwork! The Strathmore one works well too.
Paper Options
- I know that I recommend the HP 32lb paper a lot for printing our worksheets and practicing, but the 28lb one works just as well.
- For more archival work that I make for gifts, vows or artwork on the wall, I use Bristol paper for calligraphy.
- For cardmaking, I love the brand Colorplan and they come in various text and cardstock weights.
- For journal/daily, I do like getting Midori notebooks, especially dot grid ones!
