As featured in the KC Weddings Magazine!

I'm very excited to announce that my work has been featured in the KC Weddings Magazine fall issue. There it is, my cute KC wedding map.

Summer projects so far!

I started this blog only to forget about it! But life has been pretty upbeat this summer. Lots of wonderful things to share.

Here are some table numbers I made for the wedding of a Harvard alumni. She asked me to recreate a font someone else had used to create her invitation. I also addressed her invitations, and calligraphed escort cards and menus for the day of the wedding (Congrats hun!). I thought the font was fun and super easy to copy --a great project to work on.
 

Aren't her vintage stamps gorgeous? They really add to the style of the invitation.

I also did the calligraphy for one of my best friend's wedding in Dallas, TX. His family is from Guatemala, so there were a lot of Central and South American addresses. Pretty awesome. Maybe I'll get pictures from the wedding to show you guys. They are a very hip, modern couple, and decided they would have a bright red and orange wedding. Unusual, fun, and somehow incredibly elegant. Totally fell in love with it.

 

I have been working on some wedding maps as well, and I was especially excited about the maps I watercolored and lettered for the Kansas City Bride Magazine. Here are a couple pics I took... they're not so great, so I hope to be blogging about this with pics of the magazine spread soon!! They really are beautiful. I tried to keep them simple, but elegant, so that I could focus on the calligraphy of the maps.

Trying to conquer watercolors! I thought this flower motif turned out quite pretty. I decided it'd go on the lower corner of the map. It adds a lot of color and flair to the otherwise understated elegance of the map.
