Framed Calligraphy and Rebekah's invitation

Good afternoon, Pasties! Lately I've been working on all things calligraphy, including a Frida Kahlo-inspired Houston wedding suite that I'm so excited to share with you! You'll have to wait a few weeks til the bride sends them out before I can make the big reveal. In the meantime, here are a few pics of some pieces I've been lucky enough to create for blushing brides and beaming babies.

Rebekah and Nate were married on August 27, and I was able to design the bridesmaids luncheon invitation for the bride, as well as do a custom calligraphy piece for her to display in their new nest. Lately I've been drawn to the look of handpainted type, especially script done in a continuous line of watercolor, so I had fun revisiting this technique for Rebekah's invitation.  




And here's the calligraphy piece, framed, for their new place. I used a gold ink and lots of ornamentation and was really pleased with the way it turned out.




Welcome Baby Ford! McDonald Plummer IV was born this summer to some good friends of ours. I made him a little piece for his baby gift.


I was also lucky enough to do two more of these pieces in pink for the sweetest two little girls, Corinne and Kaitlin. I don't have those photos back so I can't post pics of those today. 

Stay turned for a full rundown of Charlotte's FIRST BIRTHDAY on Friday and her party on Saturday!
