Practicing my copperplate calligraphy- it’s been a while… and rocks are probably not the best surface to start with. But still, these came out not too bad.
You will need:
rocks
oblique calligraphy nib
black permanent ink
Instructions:
-
Clean and dry rocks. You can buy them in craft stores, gardening departments of home improvement centers and sometimes dollar stores. Or you can find them outside in nature. Select them for color or shape. Rocks much be fairly smooth so your pen can move as you write and not get stuck in irregularities of rock.
-
Write words in calligraphy conforming to size and shape of rock.
-
Use as favors with the couples’ initial and date of wedding or as name place settings.
-
If desired, spray rocks with sealer to protect them.
This is an easy and inexpensive way to add a special feel to your event!

I’m REALLY impressed with the calligraphy – and on rocks yet!
This wedding is going to be spectacular. I hope we’ll get to see pictures and everything you’ve created all set up and ready to delight the guests. What lucky people!!
The rocks are lovely and simple (in a fresh way). You should make lots of them! :*) I can just picture a few of them scattered on a table or on a pretty tray . . .
Come to think of it, I would even like one of these as my “take away”!!
Sooooo excited for Saturday!
