First time I’ve tried gold ink on dark hunter green card stock. It’s such a beautiful, strong contrast. And shapes for daysssss 💫

Can’t decide on a name for this shape : Scalloped Wavy edge Squiggle Wiggle 🤷‍♀️💫👯‍♀️ Mr Squiggle … What’s the best? 💛

Drying ink 💫 Dusty Blue + Wild Rose cardstock with handwritten calligraphy in white ink

Put an end to drink stealing, once and for all 💫 (gotta look after that rosé, you guys)

Lots of Navy and White on my workbench today ✍️💫

On my desk today 💫 Today I’ve got wedding vows and poems to write, gifts, menus, invites and place cards 🙌🏻 wish me luck ! Oh, and emails ✉️

Me: trying to make calligraphy cool since 2013… 💫 Everyone else: 🦗🦗🦗

Some colour therapy for a cloudy winters day! 🌥🍃🍊 Orange and Hot Pink….. I’m loving them together but I usually steer as far away from orange as I can 🤭 for me it conjures up images of traffic cones and prison jumpsuits.. however I feel I maaaay be slowly drifting to team brights- 🍊 though?- I’ll wait and see. Do you think they make a good pair? Let me know and comment below… 👇🏼 Also- as a side note - you’ll usually find me running like a lunatic to the dance floor for the spice girls- certainly not writing. 👯‍♀️

N E W ! wavy/scalloped edge place cards - here is natural card with white ink. These little beauties are proving very popular so far! 💫✨

I’m totally in love with these curved long tables from @bryanwasherefurniture - beautifully showcased at @brookleighweddings. 💫 I think curves + organic shapes have landed in a big way, and are here to stay 🤍💛 Vendors below: Furniture and styling @bryanwasherefurniture Florals @wallflowerperth Lighting @festoon_lighting Tableware @sideserve Linen @thetailoeredtable Menus @jeanbirdcalligraphy Photography @melissasphotographyperth

I love me a beautiful, big welcome sign. 💫 I make these using mdf board which I paint with a custom colour (paint matched from the couples’ stationery)… my calligraphy which I digitise and then it’s cut from white adhesive vinyl which is then placed on the board. I must admit I love this process, it’s time consuming, but it’s fun! And the result is a very crisp finish to all the lettering, no smudging of chalk or streak of paint markers. Bonus- it’s waterproof!🌧 ideal for our winter weddings ❄️ If you’re getting married in the Perth or Southwest region, these babies are available for you 💫

Ain’t that the truth 😝 Also, when I’m drifting off to sleep at night I write, in my imagination 💫🌙 That’s normal, riiiiiight?

Some ink in action 🖋 at real-time speed 🐌
