Copperplate Flourishes

These flourishes were done in W&N Imitation Gold Gouache with a pointed pen.  It has a nice shine and flows very smoothly through the pen.

Snowy Clothesline

Beautiful storm here in the high desert.  Time to snowshoe, feed the birds, bake cookies, and cozy up to the wood stove.

Vintage Wedding

This couple used the brocade pattern from the bride's dress for the canopy on their Wedding Certificate.  The design was filled in with pastels of their wedding colors.  Their rings formed the focus between their signatures.

Congratulations, Guth and Jess!!!!

Allison and Jim gave these personalized framed blessings to their very special guests at their wedding.  Each was hand lettered in archival paint on heavy paper.  Congratulations, Allison and Jim!

Anniversary Love Poem

Friends of this couple had me create this anniversary certificate for them using a poem meaningful to the couple. I used gouache with brush florals and italic lettering.  The gold shine is W&N Imitation Gold Gouache.
Congratulations, Mike and Ellajean!
