Finishing my 9 month New England Flora class with this look at fall. It has been a fascinating experience to closely follow a habitat and sketch it every couple of weeks. https://t.co/ddPp0tM4BM

I’m loving matching fall finds. Love this fragile little blackberry lily https://t.co/5i4Wo9ZfT1

Chronicling a habitat from March to October and creating Spring, Summer and Fall collection paintings is a fascinating assignment from my botanical certification program. This is my summer (June-August) illustration. https://t.co/GNW3x2a6n5

Watching the completed envelopes pile up onto my desk to dry was especially rewarding with this order of free lettered, funky addresses with lots of curlicues! https://t.co/lcWv1JV2Ho

Small weddings can sometimes allow for individually lettered invitations - this group of 9 was a fun challenge with gold ink on textured dark blue paper! #weddinginvitation #bostonwedding #handlettering #bostonweddinggroup https://t.co/NJIIlJIA5o

This week’s seating scroll incorporated a bit of botanical flair on both sides of the heading, matching the bridal bouquet and color palette. #seatingscroll #paintedflowers #calligraphy https://t.co/nyaU0vBm1j

A fun alternative to the place card table!

In a class with the amazing Denise Walser-Kolar this spring, I created this piece on vellum in the style of Hoefnagel. The actual size is 4” x 6”. I’m inspired to do more work like this! #denisewalserkolar #botanical https://t.co/ec1jnt6xsq

Individually designed, hand drawn letters are a challenge to create but I loved the effect with this Eleanor Roosevelt quote, one of my favorites. #eleanorroosevelt #letteringart https://t.co/C2hGiCayLl

Doing each envelope individually takes a lot of time but every one is a personal invitation for a guest so it's worth it 😊#weddingenvelope #oneatatimebyhand https://t.co/jGpTtM3lv1

I love these placecards with antique keys. Somehow old books and old keys seem to go together so I thought some sample placecards with classic author’s names would be appropriate. #placecards #weddingdetails #🗝 https://t.co/55E5st4UcR
