Next parts ...ready...and go ;)

Hello,
have you all survived the Christmas days?
I've been working. Today is my only day off and tomorrow I'm back to work for another 5 days before getting a break. It would normally be 6 days /48 hours, but I managed to take off my last nightshift.
I organized my desk this morning to make room for some Christmas presents , which were- no surprise= art supplies ;)
Like this beautiful calligraphy set with a real owl feather
Obviously I had to try it out ! I will need to practice more with this ...
The definition of lettering : The goal of Hand lettering is to turn letters into visual art ....not my design though. It's from the book "The ABCs of Hand lettering" .
I copied from the book as lettering practice and want to frame this and hang it over my desk.
But now to the next downloads ...
here another qp for a little look what's inside this kit
So here your links

Just one other thing.... Have you thought about learning to do hand lettering? If so , January is the perfect time to start , because
The happy ever Crafter is doing a FREE class/challenge. It's called " Show me your drills" and we actually get lettering homework to download. Practice makes perfect ! I just downloaded and started my first page already ;)
You can sign up here to get the printable free lettering sheets straight to your email
http://www.thehappyevercrafter.com/showmeyourdrills/
Then join the Facebook group , and it's also on Instagram where we post and show proudly our lettering .
There will be a list of what you need as well It starts easy with practicing up and down strokes before we will start with letters. This might sound boring but is an important part of neat writing,lol.
So come and join us :)

Or Dawn has a new challenge for the New Year as well.
It's called the "Color challenge"  and you can doodle or letter , or even both daily. She gives you a color and you do what comes to your mind with it.

Winter Solstice kit , first 2 parts

Hey all,
quick post before bed to give you the first 2 parts of my Winter Solstice kit.
Overtime days have started and I seem to spend more time at work than at home right now. But only until after Christmas , then it's back to normal again.
I did a few drawings , but not as much as usual due to lack of time .
Gold marker on scrapbook paper ( Sharpie pens)
Lotus flower  ( Faber Castell Artist Pitt pens)
Candy canes(Tombow Brush pens)
That's all ...so I get straight to the downloads now.
White drop shadows applied to give a frosty look , but you will get all parts without shadows.

Have a blessed Solstice on the 21st and a lovely Christmas. I'll be back next week .
