Hello, friends! Here is a recent print I designed which I hope to have available on Etsy soon. I loved playing around with layered letterforms and interwoven swashes. Enjoy!
Block Printing for #My5Days
Last Thursday I spent the last of #My5Days at a block printing workshop led by Marisol Ortega. She spent the morning teaching us how she uses block printing in her illustration and lettering work, and then we were let loose to create patterns and other lettering or illustration focused pieces. I loved the freedom of creating one small square and seeing the different ways it could be printed to create patterns. In the afternoon I played around with an illustrated letter "A." I would love to incorporate this technique into future lettering pieces! Thanks, Hallmark, for five days this year to make & explore.
Mother’s Day Cards for Hallmark
I have loved discovering Mother's Day cards I designed for Hallmark out in stores! Here are a few of my favorites, this will be the first year I can buy my mom a card I worked on. Take a look at my updated portfolio for more. Enjoy!
Hallmark CLS Speaker: Gemma O'Brien
Today I received my invitation to Hallmark's Creative Leadership Symposium and I was especially excited to see that Gemma O'Brien (@mrseaves101 on Instagram) will be speaking! I have followed Gemma for a long time and her work is stunning. The whole lineup has not been announced yet, but based off of the few names we did learn I know it will be an amazing day.
The theme for this year's event is "Explore What Else?" and I think each of the speakers will address this in their talk — I can't wait to report back after the actual event! For now, enjoy some of Gemma's beautiful work:
Birthday Cards for Hallmark
Hello, friends! I'm pretty excited that these four birthday cards I designed for Hallmark last summer are now arriving in stores. Any project focused on lettering, sparkle, and pink is hard to top. I also had a few sweet co-workers who gave me some of these cards for my birthday a few weeks ago. I still love seeing my card designs come to life. Enjoy!
Modern Calligraphy Summit 2.0 Teachers
There are just a few days left of the Modern Calligraphy Summit 2.0 and I have loved watching all the videos that have gone live so far. I'm grateful I can go back and watch these at anytime — thought I have kept up with viewing the lessons I haven't yet had time to complete all the exercises myself. Below you will find links to each of the teachers' websites and Instagram accounts (click on their name for Instagram / photo for their website). I have been very inspired by the variety of styles and vast knowledge these ladies have shared, enjoy browsing through their work!
