Mirror Seating Chart Calligraphy - Houston Calligrapher
What do you do when you receive a mirror that is bigger than you and unframed (hence unable to stand against a wall), but you need to place a calligraphy seating chart on it? Time to work on the floor. Let's make it happen. #calligraphy #calligrapher#handlettering #mirror #seatingchart#mirrorcalligraphy #love #floor #work#writing #write #penmanship #lovemyjob
Hand Lettered Logo Design - Houston Hand Lettering
One of my favorite things to do is logo design for companies. This was an original concept sent to a client to be used as an ampersand within a logo. This was not the final version, but I developed a slight attachment to this one. Cheers!

Just a few orders of agate stones from last week. Cheers!

Gucci Fragrance Bottle Engraving in Houston
As always, it is a pleasure engraving for clients at events here in Houston. This weekend, I had the privilege of working with Gucci fragrances. Gucci Bamboo has become a personal favorite and is clearly a favorite of others as well. It figuratively flew off of the shelves this Mother's Day weekend. This bottle was also incredibly easy to engrave. Even better! Cheers!

Black on White Calligraphy
These were for a client here in Houston that is preparing for an event in Los Angeles. I will admit that black ink is not what I naturally gravitate to for a white background. I have an affinity for metallics, red, gray...really anything except for black. However, every time that a client requests it and I place on these marble tiles, I am forced to remember that black is classic for a reason. It's simply beautiful. Love how these turned out. Cheers!
Engraving Wine Bottle Coasters - Houston Engraver
It's no secret that engraving has become one of the avenues for calligraphy that I love...for many reasons. Even as an introvert, the engraving events are one of my favorite ways to provide calligraphy. However, there are times that some of my favorite clients don't quite have the need for an engraving event but nonetheless desire calligraphy. Enter one of my clients from the early years. When my business was maybe a year to 2 old, the team from Oxheart was opening a new bar here in Houston called Public Services. They stumbled across my work as I sent a thank you note to the Oxheart team because the food and service were just that awesome. Fast forward to now: over the years, I have executed a number of projects for them and it has always been a pleasure. These wine bottle coasters that I engraved for them this week were no exception. I think that they turned out nicely. Cheers!
White Marble Tile with Calligraphy in Black Ink
These were for an event here in Houston. We used black ink on white marble. ADORE!
Esos estaban para un evento aquí en Houston. Usábamos tinta negra en mármol blanco. Me encanta!
Favor de aceptar mis sinceras disculpas para errores. Estoy aprendiendo español. Lo siento :)
Earthtone Shadow Tile Signs with "Modern Calligraphy" - Houston Calligrapher
Yes, yes I do have an affinity for placing calligraphy on unorthodox items. I had a client here in Houston request something in beige for an event last week. This one was my favorite out of the group. I used a white ink on these in "modern calligraphy" as they wanted something that was non-traditional. I can do that. Voila! Cheers!
Sí, yo tengo una afinidad para escribiendo caligrafía en cosas diferentes. Yo tenía un cliente aquí en Houston preguntar para algo en café para un evento semana pasada. Este estaba mi favorito en el grupo. Usé una tinta blanca en "caligrafía moderna" porque ellos querían algo que estaba no tradicional. Puedo hacer eso! Adios!
Favor de aceptar mis sinceras disculpas para mis errores como estoy aun aprendiendo español. Muchísimas gracias!
Wine Bottle Engraving - Randall's Event
'Tis the season for engraving events! These were a pair of bottles that I engraved for a charming lady at a wine bottle engraving event at a Randall's a few weeks back. (Yes, I am slow to post...it's been a little chaotic over here.) She wanted to take care of her Kosher gifts for the month. In between engraving bottles, I learned how to identify Kosher wines. Thanks! It was a win-win! Cheers!
Shadow Tile Event Calligraphy - Houston Calligrapher
I am in love with these shadow tiles with hand lettering. These are available in grey & white in the Etsy shop. Cheers!
Grey Shadow Tile Calligraphy - Houston Calligrapher
As you know, I get bored with placing calligraphy on the "garden variety" materials. So I took a half day a few weeks ago with the specific purpose of finding something new to write on. So of course, I found about 6 new things. One thing was a shadow tile in one of my favorite colors. Yes, my favorite colors are black and grey.... Some people would call that morbid, but it's what I like. Don't judge me. I had the bright idea of offering these shadow tiles - called shadow tiles because when you write on them, the writing creates a shadow on the grey...cool, right? I placed 4 different writing styles on these as samples. Hope that you like them! These are now available in the Etsy shop. Just click on the picture. Have a groovy day!
