Hello & Welcome
Hi, I'm Rosabel (Rose)
My journey into calligraphy began with hand-lettering though it's hard to remember when I first started learning being someone who has a million hobbies and who just likes to give everything a little bit of a go. What I do remember is slowly exploring typography art, lettering, brush lettering, before eventually finding my love with the dip pen after being gifted a quill from Paris. That moment felt different. Like I had finally found something I truly wanted to stay with.
In 2021, I had the opportunity to be a part of my first live calligraphy event and in 2022, I expanded into engraving on fragrance bottles and other glass pieces. Since then, it’s become something I’ve grown deeply connected to - not just the craft itself, but the experience of creating something personal, in the moment, for someone else.
This journey has brought with it so much more than a skill. It’s given me a deeper appreciation for detail, introduced me to a community of incredibly talented creatives, and quietly shaped the way I see and express myself.
On a personal note, I was born in Singapore and grew up in New Zealand. Whenever I visit Singapore, a plate of Hokkien Mee is a must, along with wandering through boutique craft and stationery stores.
. Life at home is quieter, usually spent with my two cats - Mina the calico who’s super sweet, and Bumi, who’s our silly and playful boy.
Thank you sincerely to everyone who has been following along to my journey whether that be from the very beginning or if you're new here ♥️ - Rosabel x
