W I V E S + G I R L F R I E N D S of the @colts are a force. I am a much bigger fan of football after meeting these gorgeous ladies during a private party @3uprooftoplounge ! They were the ultimate hype girls, sharing compliments as I engraved these petite jewelry boxes. Some of these amazing ladies (and their men) are shifting teams as the spring season rolls around, and I’m wishing them all the best, because they better the communities they live in. Maybe there should be WAGS jerseys? 💙🤍

W A T E R C O L O R love maps share the unique relationship story of some treasured @tiffanyandco clients. It was easy to celebrate love this Valentine’s Day @shopfashionmall. Client details were gathered, hand-drawn, brought to life with watercolored images, and then layered with calligraphy. Each special piece of artwork was mounted and presented to the recipients in an art sleeve. Leveling up the love game over here. x o x o

p.s. how hard did I fall for the amazing staff when they asked me to consider wearing that hardware necklace and those diamond earrings for the evening? They are the best at what they do!

T H I C K acrylic placecards capture the sunlight and the attention for a rehearsal dinner with a botanical influence. The dramatic edges are softened by the organic shapes of the ferns tucked inside…a perfect marriage.

I realize this is a dramatic caption but I lost all control because of that gorgeous light! (And no, that was not chatGPT)

Swift City is what Indy is referring to itself as with three of the ERAS tour concerts happening @lucasoil.stadium in the next few days! And there are so many pre-concert events happening around town! This is a fun activation that I’m working with @kendrascott @shopfashionmall personalizing clear stadium approved bags so you can be bejeweled for a night out too!

Business communication, but take it up a notch. When you recognize that how you present your information is as important as what you say, I’m here to help. Sometimes letters and invitations to the board and investors deserve a little more than the office printer. This style is clean, easy to read, and free from distracting flourishes that most people associate with calligraphy. Even though I don’t work in a corporate office anymore, I understand what it takes to make the impact your office desires.

A ten-year anniversary this September for @hoteltangodistillery was cause to get excited! These bottles were engraved in-person with a hand-held engraving tool with little to no drafting. The messages were selected by guests and they enjoyed watching as their bottle was personalized in front of them. If you’re looking to celebrate a milestone in your business with a unique way to engage your clients or employees, live-event offerings and inspiration can be found on my website, rccalligraphy.com

When you hire a live event artist, it’s not just about their talent. Fortunately for the world, lots of people are insanely talented! But a live event artist is a professional who will respect your company’s values, engage your customers on your behalf, plan and prep with site visits and product samples, and follow up with insights on the event’s successes, challenges and future opportunities.

It’s perfectly easy and convenient to hone my craft by working away on commissions in my studio. When you hire me for a live-event, you get both the artist and the professional, drawing from my career marketing experience in the fashion, manufacturing, and building sectors. You get my past years of involvement in trade shows and conventions, product launches, and promotions.

Best of all, this is a genuine smile! What a great event I helped with this weekend @hoteltangofletcherplace! Let’s have some fun like this event together soon?

HOTEL TANGO turns TEN! Their party @hoteltangofletcherplace this weekend was everything a good time with friends should be!

Live music, cake, lots of hugs and glasses raised, all in the warmest atmosphere of support. In their casual setting on a gorgeous September afternoon, there was nothing but cheerful laughter as each successful dunk tank drop donated to @gleanersfbindy.

@hoteltangodistillery released a ten year bourbon with a deep autumnal color and a golden dog tag that danced on the collar of the bottles. Guests were entertained as I engraved personal messages and basement bar names onto their bottles as they watched. Congrats to the team at Hotel Tango on ten awesome years!

I’ve been everywhere, man. Well, the envelopes I’ve calligraphed have been! This wedding order was sent to 25 states (my favorite to write out-Mississippi!) What’s even wilder than a guest list spread over half the country is that after being hand-cancelled, some guests received them just days later. Was it just post-office luck or was it this clean and classic style?

I was gifted this very treasured set of ruling pens and other technical tools from a family member this Christmas. They belonged to his late father, who had used them masterfully in his sign making business. I thought I’d share them here and their restoration process. I’d be ever grateful for qualified advice on how to properly clean them and restore them from anyone who has that kind of knowledge! I’m interested in caring for the wood box as well. One can only YouTube so much sage advice (there are plenty of weeds among the flowers), so feel free to share this post to help me hunt for help!

I’ll be bringing them along to the @juliewildmandesigns workshop with @thecalligraphyguildofindiana this weekend.

The loveliest part of being in a creative business is the variety of jobs that I’ve gotten to experience. I’ve had to fill out tax forms and establish vendor accounts for working with large companies and universities, but I’ve also met with a client in a coffee shop and been handed a small paper bag with boxed place-cards from a retail store. Sometimes, the big jobs and all of the hoops that need jumping through, organically lead to intimate ones like this one.

I met this couple while working at a holiday calligraphy event at Tiffany & Co., when they were not yet engaged. When the time came for their wedding (yay!) she reached out to have these acrylic tags made for their bridal party. The custom mixed paint used for the back of the tags matched the bridal party’s emerald green color and I just can’t get over that shimmer.

It doesn’t matter the size of the client or job, I’m grateful for you all!

Sometimes my studio practice looks like engraving a small perfume bottle just for my own enjoyment! This little cutie was a welcome gift for shopping at my new favorite shop @sezane this December. Each year around the holidays, a friend and I have invested in our creativity by taking a trip and enjoying the details of wherever we go. NYC just can’t be beat at Christmas! Where should we go next year?

This 10x speed drafting and engraving process is the same as it is for commission work.

It's the most merriest mail month of all! Holiday greetings and party invitations are on their way to lucky mailboxes all over the world!

How does it benefit you to hire a calligrapher?
Heartening first impressions-this cannot be overstated,
The know-how of processes and tools,
Etiquette guidance-for all the relationships and titles of today's society,
Custom ink matching-this dark blue ink color is drawn from the color of the invites,
Stimulating first impressions-stating it a little louder for those in the back!

The richness of this brown and gold pairing and the familiar way the daylight starts evading capture from my lens, have me accepting that autumn is here. Soon enough the leaves will begin to fall and we’ll welcome our season of celebrating with those we cherish most. Placecards demonstrate the preparation you’ve done for an event but more importantly, they express the anticipation of gathering!

Calligraphy invites connection, just like the sentiment of the holidays. It’s a wonderful time of the year to engage your customers with live-event calligraphy.

When I’m working on-site in your space, I’m a compliment to your customer’s experience. I have a professional demeanor, a clean workspace, and I am well-spoken.

Customers are drawn-in when they witness creation in the moment and there is an excited curiosity surrounding what I’m working on. Personalizing jewelry pouches or boxes, gift items and stationery enclosures during a live-event creates time-centered exclusivity that is valued.

Live-event calligraphy is a gift to your customers. A thank you for their visit. The value-add to make a purchase.

The reaction from customers during live-event calligraphy is always one of delight, gratitude and excitement! I’d love to help develop your vision for a holiday party!

You’ll be pleased with the novel interaction and the connection that live-event calligraphy can offer.

Swipe >>> for three similarities between live-event calligraphy and going to get ice-cream!

#3 Customers, clients, and guests (or whomever you are looking to impress) are always interested in what they are going to get from the interaction. They look as wide-eyed as a child picking out a flavor from the other side of the glass.

#2 Just like when you dip into the five-gallon tub to scoop ice cream, your clients will love to watch what’s happening! "What's that funny-looking pen she's using? Is that ink? How did you learn to do this?"

#1 Everyone leaves an ice cream shop HAPPY! (or shoppe with an extra emphasis like my sons favor saying) There isn't typically much expectation from your client's point of view on what the results of this interaction will be. However, they are always, always blown away by a few minutes of personal attention, conversation, and the calligraphy as I hand it over to them. "This is so amazing!" And that is a sweet success!

Message me to inquire about live-event calligraphy. I'm happy to chat about what it looks like from your end and mine and even offer suggestions on event planning to ensure this will benefit you in the best possible way this holiday season $$$!

If you made it this far, just for fun, drop your favorite ice-cream flavor below!

The thoughtfulness behind these escort envelopes for a wedding at The Center For The Performing Arts @cpapresents is just incredible. The bride and groom tucked a hand-written note inside each calligraphed envelope for their guests to experience a personal welcome to the reception. @oliverstwistpaper created these elegant wedding monogram cards to complement their invitation. The envelopes directed guests to their table with the simple addition of a table number on the bottom of the flap and were then added to a display wall at the reception. There are so many creative ways to incorporate a note of gratitude to those joining you to celebrate!

The bride and groom tucked a hand-written note inside each calligraphed envelope for their guests to experience a personal welcome to the reception. @oliverstwistpaper created these elegant wedding monogram cards to complement their invitation. The envelopes directed guests to their table with the simple addition of a table number on the bottom of the flap and were then added to a display wall at the reception. There are so many creative ways to incorporate a note of gratitude to those joining you to celebrate!

My Mom was visiting last week from Maryland (I'm an East Coaster by birth) and she treated me to @barbiethemovie at @livingroomtheatersind (which has ruined me for watching anywhere else). We enjoyed the laughs and have since taken turns, playfully calling each other "_____ Barbie" to describe whatever each other is engaged in at the time. After the movie, I treated her to a stopover at @midlandarts . Antique collections like the ones housed in this factory in Indianapolis are just so fun to explore. I always snap pics for inspiration because while these calligraphy styles and monograms are considered antiques, it's that timeless familiarity that makes them feel fresh and full of new life when they are reworked to include your own initials or names! Maybe I'm "Appreciation Barbie" because I value where something came from to get to where it is now. And surely that's why I love the company when I'm with my Mom!

Which of these finds do you like best?

The excitement is contagious at live events, and the early fall season is opening up for some great outdoor experiences! For the last few years, I've gotten to be a part of the @winewomenandshoes event with @oliverstwistpaper as a vendor. Fashion, food, and shopping in the name of raising funds is a recipe for a great day. And the atmosphere of the Lucas Oil Estate is unmatched for a day out with girlfriends. If you are there this year, stop by @shopbaselinesocial to meet three amazing women who have curated a new shop in Carmel for luxury tennis fashion and accessories!

Luke, I am your...Grootvader?
A client was gifting this to her Pastor who told his congregation that he wanted to be called Grootvader, which means grandfather in Dutch. She said he lightheartedly shared that this was partly because of his Dutch ancestry and also because it sounded like something out of, well you know which successful movie franchise!

Would you rather host a dinner party or be on the invite list? I love being a guest and experiencing what my friends identify as the priority for the gathering. Some are great at setting the mood with music and lighting, others make delicious food that is best shared around the kitchen island, and still others are social experts at getting the group right and the details of the evening are casual, but the conversation is fantastic! I bet you're identifying your friends that are masters are those categories now. Give them a shout-out below to encourage sharing an evening together soon!

90th Birthdays certainly deserve a celebration! This client ordered invitations online for her Mother's celebration but desired guest addresses and her return address in calligraphy. Hostessing with the smallest details in focus is a talent! This personal touch will surely excite these lucky guests when they check their mail. Happy Birthday, Muriel!

Here comes Peter Cottontail
Hopping down the bunny trail
Hippity-hoppity, Easter's on its way!

This is called a Calligraphic Drawing. Flourishing strokes are combined in a recognizable shape to bring this woodland creature to life, using the same ink and nib used to address the envelope.

A great tutorial for this Easter bunny can be found @thepostmansknock You can try it yourself with markers or any other art supplies!

Our weather is wet and overcast here in Indiana today. 🌈 I'm sharing this cheerful rainbow project to brighten your feed! My elementary-aged son didn't want to discern who gets what message from the boxed valentines this year, so we found these cardstock picture frames online and filled it with a cute class pic from a field trip. He asked me to dot the 'i' in every name with a heart---who am I to argue with that? The frames have an easel that pops out of the back so you can display it upright. This would make a great party favor for a birthday or special event!

Congrats on the launch of Volume 1 @tsghamiltoncounty! @thescoutguide is a fresh resource for local communities and destinations throughout the US. The chic covers and amazing photo spreads catch your eye, and then the scouted businesses are what draw you in! Give them a follow for resources beyond the printed copies! I had the pleasure of doing this cover calligraphy for the members’ guides.

Who doesn't get excited peeking into their mailbox to find a colorful holiday envelope this time of year? When my friend Kristyn @oliverstwistpaper designed our cards last year, she matched our envelopes to my dress from our family photos, and it was a fun unexpected color to carry our Christmas greetings! I loved all of the details -the thick stock, patterned liner, metallic twine, wax seals, and adding my calligraphy for addressing. These next few days between Thanksgiving and December 1 are a perfect time to get your cards ordered and reach out for help with your envelopes!

If your house is already busy with little guests or your children are underfoot since schools have let out for the holiday, I've got a simple way to get them engaged and take something off your to-do list! Offer them some cardstock and metallic gel pens and ask them to do the honor of making place cards for your family and friends in attendance. It will be a nice surprise when you sit down tomorrow and see that little handwriting, and then catch their beaming faces! Happy Thanksgiving!
