For National Handwriting Day, it seemed only appropriate to honor it by hand, not by a digital medium. Made that good ol’ fashioned way with a sketch pad and pencil, then tracing paper and Faber-Castell brush marker at Ada’s Technical Book Store at our little Hand Lettering session.

Here’s a version I lettered last year on National Handwriting Day. I am still really proud of all the embellishments that don’t come terribly naturally to me. So different!
