The only way I send out my correspondence....blind embossing the return address. This is actually the formal etiquette for return addressing a wedding invitation & has been my preference for my correspondence for years along with wax seals. I began offering this to my clients this year & it has been well received. It's clean, classic and is offered in various styles.

Alright, let's get these babies ready for the mail...
I was asked to render my perspective on a piece that another artist created. Their piece was a collection of Shakespearean quotes. The client and I decided to take the quotes with varying sizes and mixed in a little copperplate as well although she wanted the majority of it to resemble ornate roundhand. On pieces like this, I like to work in pencil first and then sling ink. Saves me a lot of potential headache and wasted paper. Then I go back & erase the graphite lines. She loved the finished product. Of course, work became so crazy that I forgot to take a final picture before I shipped it to her in NYC.
