Snapped with my iPhone.  I really need to get a new camera.  Any suggestions?

(Yes, after months of 9-10 hour days in the studio, I still took half of it along with me on vacation.  Time to play is hard to come by!)

Sugar and Spice

Calligraphy Labels

I've been slowly replacing the labels on my herbs and spices a little at a time with hand lettered labels.  It's fun to choose a lettering style for each spice and they just make me smile for some reason.  All are written on the same paper with walnut ink.

Wedding Envelope Chicago Calligrapher

This is Dr. Martin's Copperplate Gold on Crane's Lettra envelopes.  I tried to capture the texture of the paper, the raised quality of the ink, and the glittery sparkle.  Nothing compares to holding the envelope in your hand and turning it to the light, though.

Burgues script, flourished
