Next step, I write out your love poem, or quote in hand calligraphy. Then I scan it into my computer and make any adjustments necessary. I can use your own personal photographs as well. I can pick any colors you'd like for the text, or even make the photograph look more like a painting or pastel with photoshop. (I LOVE photoshop, but it took me quite a while to get proficient!).Here's the latest piece that incorporates photography and calligraphy. It's the famous Irish Blessing, although I've done a couple with different text. The picture is quite pretty, don't you think?
Maybe you'd like your own blessing from your heritage; your marriage vows, an inspirational quote or motivational quote written in calligraphy. What ever you'd like written looks a lot better in calligraphy than in that computer font you have taped by your desk. It also makes a great gift!
Many people are reluctant to go with black or dark paper with light colored writing. But you can see how beautiful it looks. The white color just pops off the page. One thing that I particularly liked was the snow flake in the "L" in Lady. It was taken from Masuro Emoto's website showing how water changes when you speak to it. This was the result of the word: Thank you. Check out his website and his books. They are AMAZING!
There's still time to get your personalized Christmas gift written in calligraphy. But don't wait, the time is flying by!
