Circular hand lettering for postal return address

Good things come in round shapes.

Cupcakes. Cookies. Roti prata.

I'm not sure why only food comes to mind!

And I'm sure there's no correlation there to my rounded tummy. At all.

Ahem. Back to regular programming.

The circle is the inspiration for this return address calligraphy. Come 'joyn' me to create this piece!

Here's what I did:

1. Select where you want the return address to be placed.

2. Get a compass to draw out a circle with a pencil. If you are anything like me, you would have thrown your Mathematical set containing a compass decades ago. In which case, grab any round-shaped item to trace out a circle.

3. Draw your calligraphy lettering inside the circle in pencil.

4. Once you are happy with the design, you can go over it with your ink. I used the Zebra Fude brush pen, as the brush size gives me enough room to letter for the circle that I drew.

4. Then, write out the address on the outside of the circle, using the pencil marking as the guide. I like to have the postal code in the middle bottom of the circle, for symmetry.

5. You can colour the loops in the flourishes, if you are more a technicolour kind of gal!
