Monogram

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.

Wedding Book

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.

Calligraphy Wedding Envelopes

My latest calligraphy job. Lettering done in Spencerian Ladies Hand with Sumi ink, a Nikko G nib and a Yoke Pen Co. pen holder.

Calligraphy exchange project

This is a handmade postcard for Wendy for this Fall’s Calligraphy Exchange with my Guild.

Wall Lettering

I used brown acrylic paint to letter this quote in French for my sister’s home.

Translated: What can stop hate? Only Love.

Erin & Ryan’s wedding invite

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.

Spencerian Ladies Hand

I wanted to exaggerate the ascenders and descenders for a cool effect.

Creativity with typestyles

I wanted to send a card to Steph for her birthday and decided to utilize a different typestyle for each letter of her name.
