Lots of placecards

Trying to catch up on some photos I've taken over the last year.  Here are a few shots of placecards - autumn in blue for a baby shower, gold on black in autumn, pink on a pretty eyelet card in katie lettering, and a professional shot from Laura's wedding of the escort cards - autumn lettering in black.

Another blog mention!

I know - I really am a terrible blogger.  I have probably around a hundred gorgeous pictures to share, and absolutely no time to get them put up here.  In the fall, when I hit my quiet season for the year I promise I will take the time to organize and post them all!  Until then, here is the link to the photographer's photos for Lauren's wedding (see the first image in the post down below).  So beautiful!  Thanks for sharing these Lauren!  http://blog.lindsaydocherty.com/

Lovely blog post mention

A year ago I had the privelege of working with Hilary and Paul on a variety of items for their wedding.  Here is a blog post about the vows they had written, along with some beautiful photography!

Letterpress suite, and really great color!

The first photo in this post is one of my favorite things in a long time. Kristin from http://twinravenspress.com/ letterpressed my calligraphy (a modified Katie style) onto a suite of invitations for Lauren. I love, love, love the way they came out. The color comination is wonderful, and the suite is even more impressive in person! The quality of the paper and the way the writing feels is just gorgeous. Thank you so much Kristin!!

The second photo was a mash up style - you can see the paper that Isabel provided as a color sample and the finished product. The third photo is flourish lettering in white ink on aqua paper - such a pretty spring feel! The final photo is another mashup - white ink on silver paper. I always love the look of white calligraphy on dark paper!

I'll do my best to be a better blogger and update with photos more often. Enjoy the spring everyone!!

Catching up, post 2

Here we have a lovely shot of Andrea's placecards (flourish in black ink) taken by her photographer, a set of envelopes done in autumn lettering and navy ink, with the coordinating return address (I've done a lot of return addresses lately - I feel like it's become something of a trend to have them written instead of printed), and lastly some really beautiful cards (the photo barely does the shimmer justice) written in wispy lettering and black ink.

Catching up on old photos

Hello, and I'm sorry! Moving into the new house, painting, organizing, surviving the holidays, and now trying to set up the new garden has taken up my time and I have not had the chance to update with new pictures. Here are just a few to try and catch up. The first photo is my new desk, and where all of the magic happens! (lol) The second photo was some signage I did for a Christmas flea market, and the last was a custom style I did to match the font used on a client's invitations. Since blogger limits my photos per post I'll head over to the next post to add a few more!

Worst blogger ever!! (and link to photos)

I'm so, so sorry about the lack of updates. We've been settling into the new house and every spare moment is spent painting and organizing and making a house a home! I have been working though, and I do have tons of new pictures to sahare as soon as I get the time to upload and organize them all. In the meantime, check out Kate and Brad's wedding which was featured on Style Me Pretty. The pictures are just GORGEOUS and there's lots of good shots of the calligraphy as well! http://www.stylemepretty.com/2012/02/21/charlottesville-wedding-by-jodi-miller-photography/
