New Penmanship Workshop with Design Roots

March 22, 2016

I am thrilled to offer my penmanship class again this spring in the beautiful studios of Design Roots.

This will be a long class that covers lower and upper case of a handwriting alphabet.  We will use accessible writing tools: pencil and pen – things you can use anywhere and take anywhere.  There will be plenty of snacks and extra goodies – however space is limited to 8 students for quality one on one instruction.

Can’t wait for you to join me – I don’t do this often so it will be a real treat.

mitzvah calligrapher – event calligraphy

March 9, 2016

It is always so much fun working as a mitzvah calligrapher. There is joy and COLOR!  Loved providing calligraphy for Cait and Jules on this event. The place cards are in white ink using my Mitty script.  The white stood out on these happy pastel cards and kept a light look about them.  The little stickers with numbers were applied to the seating cards for table assignments.

Escort cards using multiple colors in my Mitty caps calligraphy script. I was able to pull lots of color from the pastel place cards to use on the escort card envelopes.  For a new york mitzvah calligrapher, it is essential to get all the guests to their destination to help with traffic flow.  When the technical function gets to be pretty too – I’m happy.

Wedding Calligrapher – Dallas, Texas

March 7, 2016

As a wedding calligrapher, I always love working with amazing invitation designers to provide calligraphy for envelope addressing and seating cards. Missing Q Press is top notch and our work together really shines!

Envelope calligraphy in my Talia script using grey ink. You can also see the difference here between address centering (white envelope) and the standard stagger address layout (pink envelope).  I like how everything looks together.  You can see a real thought in every detail.

Seating – escort and place cards in calligraphy using my Talia script in grey ink.  These little cards were very pretty on the table.  They folded into a tent and also indicated the meal selection.  Flourishing in between the information was a nice way to indicate a difference from far away.

Envelope Addressing-Dallas calligraphy

March 4, 2016

I admit it: I love envelope addressing. This is a gorgeous one in my Olivia hand. The matching navy blue calligraphy is really a show stopper also!

wedding calligraphy envelope addressing

Envelope addressing really makes an impact on your guests with hand calligraphy.  It is the first impression to introduce them to your celebration.  My clients often get photos with compliments of the envelope calligraphy after mailing.  I am told many times that it helps push brides into the joyous stage of getting married after planning for such a long time.

Envelope addressing can also really reflect the style of the wedding through the calligraphy.  The envelope can be very traditional black ink on a white or ivory envelope with a simple copperplate calligraphy.  Or we can bring it a bit more modern with matching ink colors (like this navy blue), gold or silver.  Then we could use a dark envelope with white ink calligraphy.  Sometimes we use flourishing or even put the whole address on a slant for something different.

Calligraphy wedding invitations Dallas

March 1, 2016

Calligraphy wedding invitations can be a real showpiece for a wedding. Last year I had the pleasure of designing some pretty outstanding wedding invitations. This one is based on my Talia hand with some super flourishing on the bride and groom names.  This method helps set the names apart from the rest of the details.

It was printed by letterpress in a lovely taupe color on soft cotton paper, wrapped up, sealed with wax and mailed in a box with golden envelope addressing.  Lola Lorena managed all the printing, assembly and concept. There were nearly 4oo boxes to assemble!

A real treat to work on. Thank you to the bride, groom (and planner) for letting me part of this special event!
