Lettering Surprises

Big Bee became very interested in calligraphic lettering last year, and self-taught herself which I thought was pretty impressive. I tried emulating her very delicate strokes, and failed miserably everytime, so I know that it is very challenging! She indulged in this hobby quietly and happily, using this as an outlet for de-stressing and for unleashing her hidden creativity.

Her lettering journey started off as a leisurely hobby which brought her much fulfillment and many surprises. Somehow, her school got to know about her hobby and commissioned her to letter 12 pieces which are now featured in her school diary which is given to every student. She ploughed many hours of blood and sweat into this project, oftentimes working late into the night. It was a good test of her resilience and perseverance, especially when her teachers requested for multiple amendments.

In the process, she even conducted a workshop for 20 over teachers, which she found rather unnerving at first. She was also given several paid "job" opportunities to letter for some teachers on separate occasions.

Here are some samples of her artwork which was featured in her school diary (sadly, the printing from school was not very good).
