  • Around Christmastime you may recall that I wrote out this lovely old windowpane with a family’s important dates, followed by a Bible passage. It was a very thoughtful (surprise) gift for the mother/wife of the family, and much appreciated by her. • However, custom gifts and home decor are very personal things and surprise gifts are a tricky business; early this year my client brought the piece back to me asking if I could rewrite everything in a bigger size. • So guess what? Now we all love it even more! 💃 . . . . #windowwriting #windowcalligraphy #glasscalligraphy #glasswriting #importantdates #weareblessed #soblessed #psalm127 #fullquiver #quiverfull #familydate #customgifts #homedecor #customhomedecor #windowpane #glasslettering #rachelmillercalligraphy @rachelmillercalligraphy #familyiseverything #familylife #familymatters #countyourblessings #importantdays #littlemoments #importantdate #thedifferenceadaymakes #onedaychangeseverything #personalizedhomedecor #personalizedgifts #custom #windowpane #glassdecor

  • Don’t mind me... just taking my good ‘ole time through the alphabet. The #flourishconfidently challenge has been exactly what I’d hoped it would: a way for me to stretch myself and experiment, no pressure, no consequences, only fun! - I should have added some kind of shade on No. 5 and darkened No. 4, huh?

  • Here’s a story for the generations: decades ago (and years before she died) my great aunt created this picture with chalk and pastels; she raised prize Bichon Frisé dogs and loved them. Last month my aunt unearthed it and asked me to calligraph the name of a friend’s Bichon as she gets ready to put him down. What a beautiful and heartfelt gift. - Note to self: it is possible to write on construction paper in Moon Palace Sumi, providing you use very little pressure.
