All occasion Calligraphy for both modern and traditional minds
A bride I recently worked with created a unique way to present her place cards.
I created the white place card with a bone folder then wrote with black ink in a Copperplate font on the lower portion of the card. She followed up with a red wax seal incorporating her soon-to-be initial on the top of the card.
A beautiful and elegant way to do a place card or escort card for your occasion!
Love, LOVE, LOOOVVVEEEE! This bride and mother!
I can't believe it's been over two...three? months? since this event occurred!
I asked the mother of the bride if I could be an honorary member of the family. THIS! is how much I loved working with them. and you know what? They SMILED AND LAUGHED! ALL OF THE TIME!!!! Who does this anymore? They did! Love all around. Especially between the mother and daughter.
Reminds me of my mother and our relationship. Just the two of us. Always having each other's back.
The genuine enthusiasm was contagious and made me want to do the best work I could to make them happy. I do hope I succeeded.
Grey Escort Cards with Bleed-Proof White Ink
A romantic note given to your soon-to-be love before the wedding ceremony is romantic and just down-right thoughtful.
You are FOR SURE going to want to go back to this love note somewhere around the 7th and 14th year of marriage to remind you of this time and why exactly you got married in the first place.
HA! I kid!!!
Sorta.

A super fabulous designer friend of mine, Rachel Singleton, referred me to Whitney English to help out with a dinner for Alt Summit this week.
I was beyond thrilled as I admire both of them so much! The kindness and warmest responses ensued from this fun venture. Simply, I don't think I've ever been thanked as much for anything I've produced as I have for this dinner party.
Rarely does one get to see the finished product unless it is for print. Half the time I stumble upon something I've done by total accident. I find the calligrapher is the last to be thanked or acknowledged when everything is said and done.
To me, when I create anything/something, it is simply unfinished as I am not quite sure how or where it went for it's final resting place.
Today, I was happy to find my little "works of art" found a happy place.
I LOVE repeat customers! Who doesn't, right?
When asked to pump up the jams on place cards with a flower or something, this was my end result. I think it's been something like 20 years since I last did anything watercolor related. It kinda made me itch to start painting again!
