Calligrapher for Team USA - 2016 Rio Olympics
Houston calligrapher and wine bottle engraver
I had a client request these marble tiles with black ink which honestly surprised me as I ADORE working with colored inks like gold, champagne and rose gold. But for this event, they were going for the monochromatic look. I must say that black calligraphy ink on a white or creme background truly does evoke a classic feel. Cheers!
Who doesn't love Italian white marble with gold calligraphy? I have no idea. I just adore hand lettering on marble tiles right now. These were for an event in New York and this client chose my ornate Bella Grafia hand-calligraphed script. I also created a few with silver ink which honestly on initial thought, I questioned the idea based on visibility. I LOVE it when my clients prove me wrong and it turns out beautifully. The 2nd pic is the result of silver ink on the white marble tile. The subtle combination of silver ink on white screams for all lesser colors to bow down. ADORE!!!
I just adore placing calligraphy on white marble tile. Years ago, I started with ceramic tiles and those were great and I will still do that when asked. However, the beauty of hand lettering on these white marble tiles is unparalleled in my opinion. I'm happy that my clients agree.
About a week ago, I woke up and thought "let's do this with a more elegant shape". Hence, I came across these tiles that evoke a baroque/arabesque design. Love, love love these! Cheers!
