Wedding Sign

Here is a wedding sign that I hand-painted for Jessica & Broc's wedding. I also created their invitations and you can see them here. It was really fun to work on a larger-scale lettering project! I hope to do more signage in the future.

Wedding Calligraphy

So here's a look at what I've been working on lately. Black ink on white envelopes in a style that was traditional but with some little flourishes added. It was so fun to work on these envelopes!! And I got to watch loads of Parking Wars while doing so, so that was fun.


Here's the bride & groom's special envelope:

Fun Gift: Calligraphed Book Cover

My brilliant sister, Libby thought up this adorable idea. Why not add a little flare and keepsake value to your next gift? Get an awesome book that relates to the person you're gifting to and then put a fun calligraphed inscription inside! Here are a few examples of wedding gifts that Libby and I have put together:


The book I wrote in for this one was "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein... always a lovely choice. Such a special story.


The book for this inscription was "This is San Francisco" by M. Sasek. This book and the all others by this author/illustrator are ADORABLE. Excellent book choices. Unfortunately I took this picture with my not-so-great camera in very low light so it's a bit blurry but you get the idea.

TEE SHIRT PROJECT: Capitol "G"



I don't know why but this letter took me FOREVER. I am so relieved that I get to move on to letter H!

Hand Lettered Congrats



I made this card to go along with a wedding shower gift for my wonderful friend, Natalie Stubbs... soon to be Natalie Kreek! It was such a joy to work on knowing that it was for such a special occasion. Congratulations Nat!

I finished off this letter whilst watching Emma and eating watermelon, such a pleasant combination of activities.
