This is the card I designed for the 2017 holiday season. I handlettered and cut the word “Peace” into a linoleum block. This hand, or style of writing, is called versal. The lines for the letters are drawn individually, rather than being produced with a nib or a brush. The background is a purple and blue watercolor wash, accented with snowflakes and dots painted with silver Finetec watercolor. I printed the image onto the wash using black oil-based block printing ink by Speedball. Published by Renee
I started this Tucson Calligraphy studio to provide clients with a stylized way of expressing their important messages. Often, the purpose of the pieces I make is to show respect and honor to loved ones through beautiful lettering and presentation. I invite clients to be artful and expressive with their correspondence. I want to encourage people to educate themselves about their own authenticity and share it with those they care for.
