Brown and Blue Birthday Party Calligraphy

June 29, 2010

It’s still raining here and while editing photos I realized I never shared these! Lovely letterpress invitations and wrap labels for the envelopes for a 50th Birthday party held in 6 cities over 6 days. Tres exciting. All the printing and design was done by Color Box Designs and is so lovely!

The calligraphy is in brown walnut ink and the Rook font.
Love the nautical monogram! Perfect place cards

Left Handed Calligrapher Teaches Lessons

June 25, 2010

About a month ago I had the pleasure to teach a private lesson in calligraphy. My student turned out to be Ely of Ely Fair Photography based out of Oklahoma City. She was a wonderful student and took a few photos of me at work and blogged them. All photos are credited to Ely Fair Photography! Thanks for the kind words and sharing!

Making notes on the strokes to help memory jog on proper form – extremely thoughtful, huh!

An example for her to use on logo design – no pressure 🙂

Carrie and Lawrence in Jamaica

June 24, 2010

A few months ago Carrie and Lawrence married in Jamaica in a small intimate ceremony. We did the save the dates, Jamaican invitation, local Dallas reception invitation and wedding album! Carrie was such a wonderful bride and I am so happy for her.
The Jamaican invitations by swoozies had a lovely vellum overlay and super lovely envelope liner.

 

The Dallas reception invitations by Swoozies were simple and a bit more casual with layered paper and ribbon.

Aged Paper and Calligraphy for Fort Worth Charity

June 10, 2010

Many months ago I was lucky enough to work Libby from byrd & bleecker (who is wonderful!) on a table scape charity event for KinderFrog’s in Fort Worth hosted by the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority.
The theme was red, white and byrd and Libby did an amazing job. Here are the photos I borrowed from her blog.

Close up from my camera. I aged the paper (and added a little pop of gold to make everything sparkle under the lights). Wrote in the historic Jane font with black ink! Love the place cards and love the declaration for good design!

 

Thanks for asking me to participate.
