Stephanie and Jeb Wedding Guest Book

Calligraphy

Stephanie said that she had a special, handmade book that she wanted to use for her wedding guest book. It was made by her friend, Katie Gonzalez of linenlaid&felt, who is a very talented book binder. I was delighted when Stephanie asked me to write quotes, sayings and book titles that were meaningful to her and Jeb. The fabric for the cover was a bright, beautiful floral pattern. I used a combination of inks, pens, paint and lettering styles to match the quotes and the cover. I am honored to have been able to contribute to their special day!
