Queen of Arts.

I have a thing for calligraphy... in a pretty big way.


{Remember when I lived in Dallas and worked in luxury paper?}

Every time I see simple text transformed into artwork,
I fall in love again.


There's little better than seeing you own name 
in all it's flourished & embellished glory!


Here are some of my favorite pieces we did 
with one of my favorite magazines- DWeddings.

Isn't that letterpress & calligraphy a killer combo?
It's to paper what leopard skin & red soles do for a shoe...


If you are looking for a great stationer- try my friends at Bell'Invito.
{You won't find better printing in the world.}


If it's a hand-penned piece you're after try my favorites:

Tara Jones Calligraphy

You'll recognize her work from the calligraphy

 seen here on Aspiring Kennedy- a personal favorite!

Boo Owens Calligraphy

She did my wedding, and is the sweetest woman in all of Texas.

(Oh, and talented, too! D Magazine named her Best of the Best for 2010.)

Love Letters Calligraphy, by Natalie Clarkson

Everyone loves her work- I promise you will, too.

Calligraphic Arts, by Susie Melissa Cherry

Handmade precision- fit for a Queen 
(As a matter of fact, Susie Melissa does do addressing for Buckingham Palace.)

Laurie Harper Calligraphy

Her artwork embodies the traditional elegance- with a gorgeous flourish.
