I have recently completed a couple of calligraphy projects and thought I'd show and tell. The first is a late birthday gift for a friend who is in the process of redecorating her kitchen in a coffee and coffee cup theme. I love how this little 5x7 piece turned out and hope she does too!

I think I will trade out the silver frame for a black one before I give it to her, though.
My second recent calligraphy was another of my "Love Never Fails" calligraphies for a childhood friend who recently got married. I'm looking forward to getting it in the mail to her and her husband soon.
The only changes I made were the names (of course), the type of paper I used, and any small inconsistencies that are to be expected in hand made art.
The paper was a slightly translucent piece of almost-vellum that I found (I don't even remember where or when) and tucked away thinking it would be great for calligraphy. It proved to be a lovely writing surface just as I had hoped. I layered it over a royal blue scrapbook paper with off white patterns that just show through the top paper. I love the effect.
