These are elements of an invitation I just created to be printed by an invitation company.
My client wanted lots of flourishes within the script. My motto is...ask and you shall receive.

The "F" Word...Femininity
This is a one of a kind, handmade custom book created with all quotes by women. These are just some of the pages from the book.
The "F" Word is a name that I came up with when living in Hawaii and created a frame piece of art using the title as the art. I sold the original piece and always wanted to create another but never did. Instead, I made a book with the same title and used a gorgeous piece of handmade paper that I purchased when living in Hawaii for the cover and throughout as a collage element.

Holiday party elements
I was given the small silver seating envelopes and the green paper. I purchased the card stock to match the silver envelope to create the table names and cut the green paper to the table number insert size the the larger table names which were mounted with double sided tape.
The ink I used was Winsor Newton silver gouache with black added to make it a deep sparkly gray.
The font was my rendition of a script.

Handmade Book marks
These are some bookmarks that I created for Ten Women Gallery with calligraphic quotes written on top of paste paper wand collaged. They were put into plastic sleeves with a tassel afterwards.
