Freelance Calligraphy & Art
These photos show the steps I used to create this cup for my ‘secret pal’ in my Guild. I used Sharpie oil based pens in primary colors to stipple around the letters and inside the image of the pen. After it dried I carefully removed the paper and then baked the cup at 350 for 30-45 min.
This is a monogram in progress for my niece’s wedding next year. This is a variation of Spencerian Ladies Hand and my creation from what they wanted. Copper ink on blue paper.
From my daughter’s wedding book. She used these names on the tables to tie in some of her husband’s culture. Bemba is the largest tribal language spoken in Zambia where my son-in-law is from. She wanted me to letter some of the pages in her wedding book with different parts from the wedding ceremony and reception.
My latest calligraphy job. Lettering done in Spencerian Ladies Hand with Sumi ink, a Nikko G nib and a Yoke Pen Co. pen holder.
This is a handmade postcard for Wendy for this Fall’s Calligraphy Exchange with my Guild.
I used brown acrylic paint to letter this quote in French for my sister’s home.
Translated: What can stop hate? Only Love.
I worked with my niece and her fiance for just the look they wanted for their invitation. I printed them and then cut them individually in order to preserve the look of the names running off the edge of the invitation.
