Going Green

This wonderful Dallas couple having an Austin wedding came to me to address their invitations – beautiful shimmer with (one of my) favorite colors of the season green ink! I convinced her that the green ink would be beautiful and coordinate (other than the standard black), we did it!

 

They really did turn out lovely using the Rook script and a perfectly matching green ink.

Custom for Cali

Wow, it is great to be back. Last week was craziness and I finally crossed some huge things off my list.
I realized that I am behind on posting of work so you are going to have a wonderful 2 weeks of calligraphy pictures coming your direction!
This envelope was created by to mimic the lettering on the sand and shell invitation by papyrus. The font is what I call “computer font” (one of those fonts where the strokes are not like in real life – at least not for this lefty!), but I think the hand translation turned out pretty nice.
We used brown gauche for the rich color and texture and this envelope went all the way to Hong Kong!
