Valentine Tea.

Invitations for a widow's tea


                                              Me! Calligraphying at dusk.

     I used little white heart brads in the corners of these. 
                                                                So sweet.

Poetry Shmoetry

                                            Not my favorite, and I would have loved to have more time
                                                   to plan and work on it, but it was a last minute project.
                                                        The actual event was fantastic though!

Wittle Creatures.

                        Some small sea creatures I sketched in my little brother's art class today.    
      [I realize this is not calligraphy, but it is semi-kind of under the same category.]
        Seww cuuute.

Invited.


                                                             
      My first official "mass" project -20 invitations for my good friend's party. It was great experience for consistency with my fonts, and now I have two definite ones. Still thinking up names...[So exciting!] 


     For this ink I used Betsy's gouache technique of mixing the watercolor pigment with water in a little glass.  I used two purples for this project, and the blue heart is painted with my new purchase - Yasutomo pearlescent watercolors!!! They are my complete new fave ♥.  

Alphabeat.



Just some random lettering I've been working on.  Working on a font kind of in this style.
