At Work

My good friend Alison Hathaway, of Red Shoes Photography, recently came over to take some photos of me while I was working.  I loved her action shots.  

I also liked her close up of my pens.  My dad asked why there was a pen that goes out at a strange angle.  It's an oblique pen holder that I use for any of the pointed pen script fonts that I do.  It holds the pen nib out at an angle so that you get a nice slant to your work without having to turn your hand at a strange hard angle.

Thanks Alison!

Menu Cards

I've done several different menus recently.  The first below is for the same wedding that I did the baseball cards for.  This is a great example of a menu where I did the template and then scanned it into a pdf and then had it printed from the pdf.

The next is a menu that I did in a folded booklet style.  The bride's mom came up with the folded design, it was done on Crane's paper to make a 5"x5" square with a title on the outside and the menu on the inside.

Baseball Labels

I recently did a wedding at the Corcoran for a fabulous couple.  The bride loves navy and pink and so the whole thing was navy and pink.  In order to give the groom a little bit of a his own touch at the wedding, we worked in a small baseball theme.

The cake had a baseball coming out of the top layer.  To go with it, I created these baseball labels for the late night snacks.  I wrote in thick and thin font and hand stitched the corners to look like stitches on a baseball.  I was thrilled with the result and so were the bride and groom!
