Calligraphy Design = Embroidery Inspiration
A while ago, while perusing calligraphy websites (I don’t do much calligraphy, but I dabble occasionally), I came across an article on an older blog that looks, in fact, defunct at this point.
But the article is good. It’s on drawing borders, and it contains a lot of principles that can translate into embroidery design, too.
If you like doodling your own embroidery designs and you’re looking for inspiration and ideas, you might enjoy this article!
Calligraphy websites are a rabbit hole that I think many embroiderers might enjoy falling into, because it’s pretty easy to see how calligraphy and illumination can interpret into embroidery.
