Painterly Prose #33 – with Elizabeth Hardin
For our Painterly Prose calligraphy feature this morning, we have the talented Elizabeth Hardin again! This quote from Matisse hardly needs any further explanation, only some big blooms to go with it!
Painterly Prose #32 – with Michele Hatty Fritz
We owe a special Thank You to Meant to Be Calligraphy and Roald Dahl for bringing us this happy thought for Friday morning. Not much else needs to be said here, just keep smiling!
A Peek into the Studio – Brushstroke Wedding Invitations
Classic letterpress is enough to draw the eye on it’s own, which is why we love showcasing it with out artwork and painting. For Lindsey’s invitation, we just added simple and elegant painted edges, and some colorful watercolor enclosure cards. Together they make an understated, but stunning invitation suite. Incorporating the iconic oak trees of […]
Painterly Prose #31 – with Laura Hooper
So glad to feature the beautiful work of Laura Hooper again today, enjoy!
Painterly Prose #30 – with Kelle McCarter
It’s always a pleasure to feature the work of @designsgirl, one of our favorite calligraphers! Her beautiful style has adorned so many of our pieces. An airy watercolor landscape seemed like a good fit for this flowing, open style.
A Peek into the Studio – Flamingo Birthday Invitations
Bold but whimsical Flamingo Birthday Invitations… it hardly gets any more fun! For a special celebration in a new home, we illustrated the house, but added fun flamingos and tropical banana leaves for some Florida flair. Who wouldn’t get excited for this party?! Gold mirror cardstock, gold painted highlights, and raw silk ribbon in fuchsia […]
Painterly Prose #29 – with Sarah Pawlowski
Thank you so Sarah of Flourish Grace for today’s Bible verse. We have probably all heard it many times, but a little reminder of Love is never out of place. Not much artwork is needed to accent that reminder, just a simple wash of airy watercolor. Done!
Painterly Prose #28 – with Arney Walker
So excited to have Arney Walker back on the blog today! An inspirational thought about art and life for you, from Stella Adler. Happy Friday!
Painterly Prose #27 – with Michele Hatty Fritz
The talented Michele of Meant to Be Calligraphy (@meanttobedc) has sent us a series of quotes she lettered for Danielle of Magnolia Bluebird, for her wedding. They are all gorgeous, and “love” themed. This short, simple ee cummings line seemed perfect for one of our watercolor woodland landscapes.
A Peek into the Studio – Fall Wedding Invitations
Even though the summer sun is out, I just wanted to share a quick overview of different Fall Wedding Invitations we’ve created over the past year. There are so many options! When we think of autumn, the first thing in our mind might be the iconic red, orange,and yellow leaves, but really there are so […]
Painterly Prose #26 – with Dionne Christiansen
Good morning! A welcome back is in order to Dionne Christensen (@nibandpixel) who we have featured before, but today we have a slightly bolder style to show you. With so much character in the lettering, not much artwork is needed here, so simple watercolor washes make a lovely complement. Watercolor and calligraphy go so perfectly […]
A Peek into the Studio – Sculpted Bloom Rehearsal Dinner Invitations
There’s nothing like our Sculpted Bloom Invitations, we’ve done many different versions over the years, but this one is brand new and custom. For a rehearsal dinner with a Texas theme, we created a Texas bluebonnet with sculpted petals! The inside of the box featured a field of bluebonnets under the Texas sky. Each delicate […]
