yummy letters

I realize I haven't posted anything on here in quite a while. School is insane and I'm considering moving this blog because of some technical troubles, so expect more dry periods. However! I am continually posting on my tumblr so you should go check that out!

Here are some cookies from a few weeks back - I really enjoy painting cookies.

wedding details

Here's what went on in our house this weekend: making a few pretty things for Adrian and Hannah's big day! I love making things for weddings.

I calligraphed some thank you tags:

We had made and stained the couple's initials to be hung at the venue - the ampersand, I wanted to keep. It looks just right on our porch.

We made little chalkboard tic-tac-toe sets as favors for the guests. 

I painted a sign for a little boy to carry down the aisle:

This is my favorite, a signboard for the venue. I loved making this.

These were two notes they placed in the restrooms, cute:

Thank-you cards to the sponsors were placed in potted plants. Ina did the text layout and I did the lettering, 'cause we're a perfect team like that. 

5 points to Gryffindor

I made some straw flags for a fictional party I'm having. I think they're cute.

I can't get enough of lettering; I'm writing every day. I think I've found my dream job. It's not yet paying, but I'll get there.

I'll never get over stripy straws.

A few weeks ago I bought a few new pen nibs and some mini unlined notebooks that came in a set of three (and orange, how could I resist?)

I'm so happy. It really doesn't take much, most times.

I haven't even tried out the three other nibs I bought. I know. I guess I should also say that I bought an entire set of Speedball carving knives. The moment summer arrives I am busting that baby open and cutting some serious chunks out of rubber.

I like it when it gets blotchy and scratchy.
