Hello dears!

How is life?

On this blog post I want to take you to a world that was unknown for me before: The Art of Calligraphy and beautiful paper.

When I started DIANACASALIS.COM I wanted to reflect my full personality and that on every post there is a touch of me. Something that you can identify and relate to!

Then I thought of my signature, and was stuck… I was not sure how to move forward.

I was very conscious my handwriting was not going to make it …  but I wanted something feminine, classic, classy, fun and unique.

While brainstorming with myself (yes I do that sometimes) I immediately thought of Fabriano boutique. I was invited to the store opening in Geneva and was amazed by the love of paper, calligrapy and quality they have.

So I called in the troops to be able to create a Signature for my blog, so that at the end of each post you have a piece of me. Something I created in collaboration with Hanna (the most stylish calligrapher ever) until we found “THE ONE”

Fabriano boutiquelaunched a new paper line called Paper Lover. This was so helpful while creating the traces and testing different types and styles of signatures.

They not only sell the BEST agenda and tiny pens you can put everywhere, but also they sell beautiful leather goods, postcards from Geneva, souvenirs and books to note stuff (like dinner party book, of wine book or restaurant book).

Hanna is a calligrapher this means in simple words she has an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G handwriting, that her strokes are flawless and that she can recreate a ton of different fonts. Of course, each calligrapher  has its own style and type of writing.

They also use very delicate material and tools, Hanna used a handmade oblique nib holder and her own ink. But at Fabriano you can find beginner brush pens to get you started!

Keeping up with the signature….

So after like 1,000 tries….

A lot of suspense right?

I am so so thrilled with this Signature, it shows my personality and well.. my name (LOL) and it is exaclty what I was waiting for. So from now on on each post you will have it and the end and … well that’s it!

I hope you like it too and that you liked knowing more about paper, calligraphy and Fabriano boutique.

Thank you Fabriano boutique for helping me create my signature, something that will last a  lifetime!
