Holiday calligraphy extravaganza

Well, folks, it's almost here -- the Cville Craftacular, a craft fair I'm participating in this Friday and Saturday. I've been working for weeks and am pumped to show and sell my work this week! Here's a sneak preview of some holiday calligraphy goodies I will be selling! If you're in Charlottesville, stop by City Space (above Bashir's restaurant on the Mall) on Friday between 10 and 7, and Saturday from 9 to 4.

Fun wedding calligraphy

A dear friend of mine, who got hitched six weeks ago, just posted her photographer's wedding album from her big day.

Enjoy!
