Hi Reader,

Happy December!

It's a new month, which means it's time for another Loveleigh Loops calligraphy newsletter🎄

Before we get into the December resources, we want to pause and say a heartfelt thank you for your support during the launch of our new membership community, Calligraphy Together. This community is the culmination of more than seven years of teaching calligraphy—and yet it feels like the start of something truly special.

We’re so excited to pour all of our energy into one shared home instead of multiple programs like we have in the past. We’re thrilled to spend 2026 focused on this one community, creating, teaching, and growing alongside all of you. And to everyone who joined us this month: we’re so grateful you’re here.

Looking forward to a new year of Calligraphy Together.​

Sincerely,

Jordan & Jillian

And now, let's dive into some December calligraphy!

Lettering Process

Ta-da! Try it yourself, it's easier to create than you may think.
