I'll be there for you

This was one of my first handwriting commissions and is a favourite poem of mine. It's called 'I'll be there for you' by Louise Cuddon. Perfect for a reading at a wedding...which it was. It was a gift from the reader to the happy couple.

Three Times a Charm

A couple of weeks ago, an old school friend contacted me through facebook and requested 3 handwritten copies of this lovely poem to give as gifts. What Words Alone Can't Say, by Nathan Wende was read at her surprise wedding!! They fooled friends and family by inviting them to their 'engagement party'. I love that idea!!
I wrote each out on light-weight, white, line textured paper (my favourite kind) and although they look pretty similar there are slight differences in all three, which i love.

They were framed in contemporary white frames with an off white border. What do you think?

Handwritten by... me

Where to start?
Well, i suppose, as my intention is for this blog to be about my work, as well as my findings, it's probably best to start by showing you some of my handwriting.

When the time came to think about our wedding invitations i wanted them to be clean, informal (ish) and most of all, very personal to us...so i toyed with the idea of writing them myself. I am also in LOVE with all things letter pressed so after a little help from a graphic designer friend my writing was sent off to the printer to be pressed on simple, postcard size, off white card.
I think the style of our invite says a lot about us & the style of our day. Relaxed, personal, fun and a little bit different. 
Since then I have had several requests from restaurant menus to tattoos and poems from husband to wife, father to newborn baby and more...I'm pretty sure I'll be posting more about our wedding very soon but for now here's a taster of my handwriting work.So, if you need anything handwritten drop me an email!
