One of my favourite small jobs: filling out wedding certificates. It’s such a small part of the day but it’s something that will mean so much to those celebrating, for ever. Of course it would be just as functional if it was scribbled in with a ballpoint pen ... but I’m here for beauty *and* function. 😂😂❤️🌹✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻 . . . . . . . #calligraphylife #calligraphy #calligraphyau #australiancalligrapher #melbourne #melbournewedding #melbournebride #weddingplanning #australianbride #aussiebride #littledetails #lovemyjob #love

Like every calligrapher, I’ve definitely written my share of baubles and more - but this year is the first time I’ve had a go with pointed pen. So much more detail possible! This is a very thin glass bauble, so I was a little concerned I’d break it, but they’re surprisingly sturdy. . (Truth is: someone suggested that thin glass baubles couldn’t be done, and there’s no better way to make me want to try something than that 😂😂😂) . If this is something you want me to do in your store before Christmas, get in touch ASAP - this time of year is so busy I hardly have time to breathe. I love it, but it’s a whirlwind all right! . . . . #lovemyjob #calligraphy #melbourne #melbournechristmas #personalisedgifts #personalisedbauble #glassbaubles #copperplate #drmartinsink #melbourneartist #australiancalligrapher #calligraphyau #calligraphylife #calligraphynerd

Putting the finishing touches on some #letterpress #christmascards with a hot foil pen. . These are flat cards, not folded - 300gsm Crane Lettra that I picked up from @peterkinpaper at @callicon.au this year (plus matching envelopes) and letterpressed with my little tabletop press at home. Just enough room to write a few words on the back. They’re definitely going to be late to anyone overseas 😓 but at this time of year, personal projects take a back seat! Every year I swear I’ll be more organised and get cards out in October. And every year ... nope 😂😂 maybe 2018! . . . #hotfoilpen #letterpress #calligraphy #moyagraphy #sundays #calligraphychristmas #melbourneartist #lovemyjob #letteringlove #calligraphyau

This might be the shiniest pen I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. I can see my reflection in the letters! 😍😍😍 #magpie #yup . . . . . . . . #melbournecalligraphy #letteringart #lettering #letterlove #christmas #baubles #calligraphy #calligraphyau #calligraphylife #lovemyjob #love

We teased a little about this at @callicon.au, where I got to try one of these babies out: Australian-made, handheld, adorable, functional auto magical ink stirrers!! I can’t WAIT till they’re in production - goodbye to cords and ugly lab stirrers, hello cute soap bar. And because it’s Luis and Zizi making them, you know they’ll have every detail attended to perfectly - like Luis’s holders. Get excited! And get on over to @luis.creations to tell him if you’re interested - I feel like these are going to run out veeerry quick. . . . Repost @luis.creations: ・・・ It all started from a request @zizicalligraphy asked back in March. "Can you please stir the ink for me while I am writing these envelopes? My hands are sore!" I said I can get you a laboratory stirrer, it will do the job." And she said no, I want something that looks nice. In order not to get myself stuck in stirring the ink forever, I had to do something. And here we go, the first ink stirrer especially designed for suiting the needs of CALLIGRAPHERS is now in production!! It's been a very long process for the development, having done tons of experiments, going through a lot of problems, getting them solved one by one to get the right speed, get the right sizes of the stir bars which won't splash the ink everywhere and is able to run long hours without having it attached to a cord, you can bring and use it anywhere even without a power point nearby and most important the tools that Calligraphy uses has to look nice! It is only very limited quantity for the first production which is expected to be ex-factory before Christmas. I may consider to increase the quantity if there is a strong appeal and interest. Are you guys feeling excited about it?? Please show your interest by commenting in this post. I want to hear from you to set my order quantity and pricing. The pre-sales will happen soon!
