Magnolia Leaf Calligraphy as Place Cards - Houston Calligrapher

If you know me at all, you know that I become bored quite easily with the "garden variety" calligraphy ESPECIALLY that you see for wedding calligraphy and I am always looking for something different to write on.  Once you've seen calligraphy in black ink on a white/cream place card, you've pretty much seen them all...no offense.  ANYTHING, BUT PAPER, I say.  

ENTER: MAGNOLIA LEAVES.  Have you seen magnolia leaf place cards? These magnolia leaves have been preserved to make them as close to uniform as possible and to last for years.  However, please keep in mind that these were created by Mother Nature so there will be some form of variation from leaf to leaf.  Now for my area: CALLIGRAPHY!  I've seen these with gold calligraphy before, but rarely silver or white calligraphy here in Houston.  I ADORE the contrast of white calligraphy ink against darker colors.   Yes, I can be a little dark, but let's just keep that between us girls :).  I digress...  

These magnolia leaf place cards make for creative DIY place cards and escort cards for a wedding, birthday, corporate event, or any excuse to get your crew together.  These are now available in the Etsy Shop!  Cheers!

ADORE these! These purple agate stones with gold ink turned out gorgeously for an event.  Calligraphy & hand lettering truly set these agate stones apart from the garden variety.  Cheers!

Blue Agate Stone Hand Lettering - New York Calligraphy

These agate stones make great place cards, but they also make great escort cards for events.  Let's just flip this baby over and place the table names on the back :)  LOVE hand lettering and calligraphy on these agate stones as it opens up the possibilities for penmanship.  

Agate Stone Houston Hand Lettering - Los Angeles Calligraphy

I just adore working with these agate stones for hand lettering and calligraphy.  They come in various colors and each one is different as they are created by nature.  Some may not like that fact that each one is different, but I believe that is one thing that makes them pretty awesome.  Just like people :).  Cheers and have a groovy day!
