As a designer for Bella Figura- the artisanal letterpress company of Syracuse, New York- I have the pleasure to design wedding invitations each year.

Cordelia- one of my three new designs for the 2015 collection- was shown on a Green Wedding Shoes blog feature recently.

Cordelia is available for sale at bellafigura.com.

 

introducing new kitschy regal pen and ink drawings

After receiving a fabulous pen and ink commission of the Chicago skyline for a Christmas card this year, designsgirl has been expanding her repertoire to include new pen and ink drawings for wedding invitations, wedding monograms, business logos and family crests which she describes as "kitschy regal".

Shown here are my first pen and ink commissions- a tropical wedding cartouche for a Save the Date announcement with hand drawn herons, tropical flowers and pineapples; a current logo design commission and several designs for my design library for semi-custom work.
