mm ink gift certificates - the gift that gives

Giving back is very important to me and my family, and it is something we want to do more of this year.  So with every MM Ink gift certificate purchase, 10% of the proceeds will be donated to WonderRoot, an Atlanta-based art organization that is committed to unite artists and the community to inspire positive social change.

The MM Ink gift certificate is a lovely letterpress square card and it can be used for any beautiful hand lettered item made just for your special friend or loved one...... calligraphy for invitations, envelope addressing, wedding reception and 'day of' stationery items, address stamps and more! It is such a unique and special gift that will also be doing good for the community - now that makes me smile!

Ordering is easy - simply email me at gifts{at}mminkstudio{dot}com with all of the details and I will hand letter your name, the recipient's name, and the amount in a lovely ink color of your choice!

Oh My! Take a look at O Magazine's first hand lettered cover by chalkboard artist Dana Tanamachi! I love her work and this February 2012 issue will definitely have a spot on my bookshelf when I am done reading it!

happy friday: calligraphy for kris and james {part 1}

I am delighted to share a few sneak peeks of one of my favorite calligraphy projects last year - definitely one of my top 3 for sure! I did a very happy dance when Kristy of Momental Designs emailed me to work with her on a luxe invitation suite for NASCAR driver James Buescher and his lovely bride, Krishtian!

Using my Jasper calligraphy style as the inspiration for the design, I created a custom lettering style (which is now a Momental Designs Exclusive calligraphy style) that was used for the full invitation suite and other stationery pieces. Seeing my lettering with the amazing hand painted artwork done by Kristy and her awesome team was pure joy!

Kris and James' wedding was last week Saturday so stay tuned for {part 2} of this fabulous Costa Rican wedding planned by Tropical Occasions with live painting by Kristy (yes, live!!) and stunning photography by Jose Villa!

Congratulations Kris and James - it was so much fun working on this design for you!

Happy Friday!
