oh, the joy of being entrusted with a meaninful project! and this one was especially heartwarming. the bride’s dad reached out to me, asking if i could weave the poem “plant a tree” by lucy larcom into my modern calligraphy style as a sweet wedding gift for his daughter.

i’ve always found joy in infusing elegance and personality into meaningful occasions. for cass’ wedding, i had the privilege of calligraphing envelopes on dreamy green envelopes that were sourced by the bride herself. not only was this an artistic journey—it was a heartwarming connection to this beautiful love story! i truly felt honored that cass loved my work enough to entrust me with this project.

this position has been filled. thanks for looking! i’m hiring! everglow handmade is looking for a studio assistant. the studio assistant will be responsible for packaging products, fulfilling orders, managing inventory & online platforms, reaching out to new potential wholesalers, & all of the miscellaneous, small things that come up. i am looking for a fun, joyful person to work with & help grow my small business.

i LOVED making these chalkboard signs for one of my dear couples, alyssa & tim!

alyssa was so great & sourced all of these beautiful black & white signs from all over town. the white frames always had a lot of texture & personality to them. the black was always chalkboard. combined together, it was a beautiful set of frames that provided consistency & a theme while still having variety + interest among the signs. something great to think about consider when you are gathering pieces for your wedding day.

it was such a privilege to make these programs for justin & naoko’s wedding in JAPAN! these friends of mine live in japan but got married in northern, ireland. and i made these special pieces for them from portland, oregon. it was truly an international affair. wow! it was such an honor to make these colorful pieces for you two, justin & naoko - thank you for letting me be a part of your special day.

wow, this was a nice throwback to my days of when i made wedding for signage! it really is nice to look back at these pictures & be proud of what i did and be so happy with how things look! i swear one of my problems is that i am never happy with things when i make them. looking back on these pictures, i am SO proud! at the very least, today i can start thinking about how proud the future me will be of what i am making today. haha, i guess i will just have to take that for now.

i can’t believe i never shared these pictures! but honestly, i can. tbh, i am super behind in my blog posts, so you are going to see a lot of old posts that i never got around to posting - let’s think of it like a scrapbook with sweet memories. it’s a blast from the past! and never has a blast from the past been so sentimental, it is so fun to see these pictures of a modern calligraphy workshop in portland, oregon at tea bar. it is pretty wild to think about at this point, a bunch of strangers meeting up? in a public place? we all look so care free & young! haha, #TBT for real.

this was so fun to letter on this bottle of champagne for Ali & Konnor!

mady of madeline moore events asked me if i could do some fun calligraphy on this bottle of champagne to surprise the lovely couple with. i was delighted to - of course!
