More from the New Year's Eve wedding, for which I did all day-of calligraphy materials: gold table numbers, hand-painted with some awesome Finetec gold that just came in the mail. So yummy!

Calligraphy seating chart

Merry almost Christmas, friends!
So, last weekend was brutal. Lots and lots of calligraphy, very little actual weekend-ing. BUT! It was all be worth it, because I now have a good chunk of time off to spend with friends and family, and eat/drink/relax to my heart's content. I'll take it!

Here's a big ole seating chart I did for a rehearsal dinner next week. The wedding is New Year's Eve. More to come from this one, since I did ALL the day-of materials! (See above, i.e. working all weekend...)

More holiday card fun

This year's holiday card haul has started to arrive, and I was so happy to see some of my own work in one friend's card! I created this custom calligraphy sign for a family friend's photo shoot and it showed up on their holiday cards. Hooray! Happy holidays!

Calligraphy holiday cards!

This year, for the first time ever, I designed and inscribed my own calligraphy on our holiday cards! The whole concept and all artwork, from start to finish, was my own. Even the return address stamp (see this post for more on stamps!) was one I designed and created.
Here's a peek!

Custom calligraphy address stamps!

A couple weeks ago, I managed to get my act together and create custom calligraphy address stamps for several family members (and a new one for me and my husband!). They make the perfect holiday gift!

I FINALLY got a copy of Our Local Commons, volume 2, and peeped my very own calligraphy in PRINT! So cool, I tell ya. I was honored to pen the menu for the incomparable BBQ Exchange's spread. Check out the pics below!
