Calligraphy inspired gifts for Christmas

I'm taking a calligraphy course this year - it's something I've always wanted to do - and I'm really enjoying it. We started with writing the skeleton letters in pencil for the first three lessons and now we are moving on to using the pen. Calligraphy really is a hobby where practice makes perfect (or at least "better" in my case).

Even though I'm only just a beginner I'm already thinking ahead and looking around for new fonts I could learn to write with my pen. I came across ohNOrachio, a shop on Etsy run by Rachel Basinger from the UK specializing in pretty hand illustrated cards and ceramics.  I just love her handlettering.





Maybe I'll have to put a "learn to write on ceramics" class on my Christmas wishlist too.
