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.

calligraphy by Boo Owens
calligraphy by Natalie Clarkson


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:





You'll recognize her work from the calligraphy
 seen here on Aspiring Kennedy- a personal favorite!

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.)

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

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

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

I'm completely spoiled by getting to work with such beautiful paper,
and sometimes,
I'm afraid,
I stop noticing how pretty it really is.



Today I stopped to notice, however.



How could I not?
Look at this beautiful wedding invitation.



I can't describe the feeling of months of work being "birthed" into something so beautiful.

And the best part: she cried (with joy!) when she saw them.

I think I should celebrate with some champagne to a job well done!
