Special event calligrapher. I'm here to share my work, celebrate yours, and connect with my fellow/sister creatives. Not against taking part in a little healthy political chaos. See my work at www.Lettering.ink
Central California Best Western,(name withheld to protect innocent hotel cats). This gorgeous cat adopted us on our way to our room and promptly bewitched my partner into becoming her personal pillow.

A block of text in copperplate script - forming letters and words is also forming texture.

Draft 9 of client request: NO pretty scripts. NO flourishes.
It’s a fun challenge—but hard to silence that calligrapher’s muscle memory. (yes, I've misspelled hari hachi bu)✌️😎

Hair spray (Tresemme Super Hold Level 4) is the secret to lettering on this delicate rice paper! Without it, the ink would bleed and feather and become mostly a blob.✌️😎

I always say 'Sorry, no.' to chalkboard jobs but I've decided to learn. This is the final iteration of my first attempt

My final draft for a Czech wedding wine menu. Centering my lettering is the most anxiety-producing aspect of client work.

"Rustic" is the new couture - hand lettering in custom matched ink (um actually, it's gouache), on a sturdy, handmade paper. I'm loving how these simplest of elements create an upscale vibe.

A perfect marriage of media: handmade papers and calligraphy. Neither is very showy, but as a couple, they bring out the best in each other😉

Doodling with chalk on a vinyl chalkboard. As long as the vinyl is primed correctly, it talks chalk nearly as well as a slate chalk board.

Centering addresses is my biggest challenge - but sometimes it works out nicely. (Unflourished copperplate script envelope addressing)
