calligrafin

Hello! :) My name is Laura, I am Italian but I live in Vienna (Austria). During the day I work as a scientist for a research company, in my free time I like to do arts and crafts! In particular, I love lettering and calligraphy, I can't live without my bullet journal and I collect cute stationery. I have two black cats, Nessie and Powder.

Lettering quotes and alphabets, especially on black paper using gel pens (I'm a fan of Gelly Rolls)

Making spreads in my bullet journal and sending decorated envelopes

Making lists about everything, both on paper and digitally

Reading books, especially fantasy, dystopian and fiction genres

Walking in nature, scuba diving, travelling

Stickers, washi tape samples, tags, bookmarks, patterned paper, cute paperclips, die cuts, postcards

My favourite colors are: black and white, all the shades of blue, nice warm yellow and red shades, rainbow patterns

I especially like things related to these topics:

Stars, constellations, moon, planets and anything related to space and universe

Geometrical patterns, abstract patterns

Cute animals (penguins, bears, cats), unicorns

Waves, water, lighthouses and anything related to the sea (whales and jellyfish are my favourite underwater animals)

Rainbows and gradients

Harry Potter, the Little Prince, the Starless Sea

Studio Ghibli movies (especially Totoro, Howl's moving castle and Spirited Away)

Food, tea and coffee

Postal aesthetic (postboxes, envelopes, cards)

Academia, books, science

Travel (paper planes, places, landmarks, MAPS)

Japanese calligraphy and aesthetic in general

Stickers/washi/cards with words and quotes

GREEN things, unless it is in a shade closer to teal. I really don't like this color, unless it is paired with something else, like in a rainbow. I also don't particularly like pink.

I know I said I like fantasy books, but I don't like Lord of the Rings (sorry!). I also don't particularly like "witchy" things. And no Halloween.

No stickers of people, no vintage stuff (except maybe typewriters because those are cool), no religious things, no bugs/specimens (butterflies are ok). No Hello Kitty and other things kawaii style.

No music-related things and no art paintings replicas (like cards with famous paintings on them).
