Tonight I finished up a project for one of my favorite local stores, Zazu www.shopzazu.com. They change displays often, have some great Open Houses and it’s always a fun place to visit. I do calligraphy work for their customers that want the special touch for their wedding invitations, formal affairs and anything else they ask me to do, basically. This customer sounded really interesting- her wedding will be at Disney Land so she went with the sea theme- so cute. The only thing I regret is that I don’t always get to meet the customer. Of the ones I have met, we have gone on to exchange emails and talk after the event is over. You really become part of it sometimes. The photos here are their table cards and placecards. I included a shot of the blank ones because although I love this paper- hard to tell but it’s very thick and shimmery- I have to line each one by hand. On light colors I can use my lightbox and don’t have to take the time of lining them, inscribing, waiting for the ink to dry, then erasing the pencil lines. Also since each card was different I had to eye each card to make sure the name and table name would fit. Think I need to raise my prices now that I think of how much time this took me! I hope that the bride and groom have a great wedding and many happy years together.

Aside from that, I had all day to work but when I look at what came out of it, not so much… Maryanne is still home on winter break, Hayward had off work and Pam was working from home on the computer all day.

I tried to take some photos of my project for the Green Gallery but the weather has been bad for the last 2 days and it is a big mistake to take paper out into the rain to photograph even for just a minute… So maybe tomorrow! K- back to work…
