Professional Calligraphy Service
A newly named and designed website shows the vast variety of work undertaken by Angela, who has many years experience as a professional calligrapher. Have a browse around the site to see what type of work is undertaken, and the many saleable that are on offer. Commissions over the years have been varied but are currently focused on items of a more personal nature such as love songs, poems, inspirational words, and quotes. The hand lettering is complete with unique illumination created especially to compliment the words.
Place Name Cards
Save the date cards, invitations, and place name cards are all hand written with care. A client can provide their own cards, or either a simple card, or individually hand crafted card can be be provided. The choice of place name cards and letter examples are shown on my website.
Calligraphy Prints
These prints are part of a collection I'm currently undertaking. The wild flower verses have been written especially for me to combine my love of calligraphy with watercolour painting. My original work has been turned into prints by a reputable printing company.
Commissions
Each commission is planned to suit the words being written. It may be a love song, a poem, in rememberance of a dear one, or any other occassion. The first step in planning is choosing the script most suited to the words, followed by the layout and design, illumination and colour also play their part in bringing everything together to enhance and complement. Also taking into account the letter, word, line spacings, and margins, all playing an important role in creating a special piece of work. It is important that the commission suits both the giver and the receiver. The finished size is also important, it is a frame to fit the work, not work to fit into a frame. Handwriting is not the same size as being typed on a computer, 400/500 words just does not fit onto an A4 sheet of paper, especially when all spacings and margins have to be taken into account.
Original Work
My original work is variable and includes a selection of both calligraphy and art items from which no copies have been made or will be made. Calligraphy items each having artwork to complement the words, and are either framed ready for immediate display, or mounted only for an own frame to be purchased.
Special Offer Prints
These prints have been created from my original work which was created especially to be made into prints. Some are framed ready for immediate display, some are mounted only for a client to provide their own frame.
