Not sure where this came from... I’ve decided to find it whimsical and lighthearted. Ziller Cranberry and this funky script make me think of the circus! 🎪 . . . . . #dippen #dippencalligraphy #pointedpen #pointedpencalligraphy #rachelmillercalligraphy #envelopeaddressing #envelopeart #envelopes #address #snailmail #snailmailideas #snailmaillove #smailmailrevolution #snailmailrevival #blankcanvas #somanypossibilities #whimsicallettering #zillerink #zillercranberry #moderncalligraphy #modernscript #modernlettering #moderncalligraphypractice

As I put pen to my base pencil lines on this venue illustration, I’m trying to decide which foliage to include and which to “artistically omit”; foliage is easier to represent with watercolor, so I have to be careful with sketches, otherwise they look too cluttered and confusing. . . . . . . #venueillustration #venuesketch #weddingvenues #weddingvenue #weddingvenuesketches #letsgethitched #weddingcalligraphy #weddingcalligrapher #savethedate #savethedatecards #savethedateideas #rachelmillercalligraphy #artisticlicense #weddingstationery #eventstationery #eventcalligraphy #eventcalligrapher

Well, I was trying to get a picture of some blue eyeliner I’m trying out, but these pops of silver in my hair made a statement instead! I know it bothers a lot of people, but I consider gray hair a privilege; far too many people pass away before they see any. I like to teasingly blame my husband for mine, but truthfully it’s genetic: I had a great aunt who was entirely silver by 25. • I never dyed my hair to cover gray... I like the way it comes in a few strands at a time, slowly adding gleaming silver to my crown. I like the gentle whispers of age when I sweep my hair up for the day, and the way stripes dance through my braid. And when friends good-naturedly tease me, I just laugh and say, “Silver always was my color!” • Check out the @grombre page to see some really beautiful women who are embracing their lighter hairs! . . . . . #silverhair #silverhairdontcare #thisisme #nofilter #nofilterneeded #keepinitreal #keepingitreal #letsbehonest #aginghair #aginggracefully #idontmind #rachelmillercalligraphy #greyhair #thisis30 #thisis30something #goinggreygracefully #goinggrey #goinggray #grombre

All painted up and ready to go! After these simple leaves were all done, they looked like they needed a finishing touch! So I wrote a passage from Romeo & Juliet in the background of the page, behind the leaves. The calligraphy is messy at best, but it was on the fly and a little rushed, and the friend for whom I intended it will love it just the same. - Also, I love this idea! I might have to mess around a bit more and actually PLAN it out for better results.

It’s about time I did some botanicals in realistic colors (🌿), so here is a quick video demo for you all. I’m still craving the peace and serenity that @jensweeney4 captures in her videos, but I think I require better lighting for that! 🍃 . . . . #paintingvideo #trianglebrush #trianglebrushflorals #trianglebrushbotanicals #wedgebrush #wedgebrushflorals #wedgebrushbotanicals #rachelmillercalligraphy #paintingleaves #greenleaves #practicemakesprogress #practicepracticepractice #gettingpractice #alwayslearning

Imagine the Most Interesting Man in the World saying this while looking smoldering and holding a cold beverage: “I don’t always photograph envelopes upside down, but when I do, it’s to see how well I’ve centered the address.

I’ve got several things in the works over these next few weeks, one of which is a modern calligraphy workshop late in September. I am getting a head start on the prep by making the place cards when I have a window of time. . . . #placecard #placecards #moderncalligraphy #moderncalligraphypractice #weddingcalligraphy #weddingcalligrapher #dippencalligraphy #pointedpencalligraphy #goldonnavy #goldink #suzanne #eventcalligraphy #eventcalligrapher #rachelmillercalligraphy #copperplate #copperplatecalligraphy #calligraphyvideos #calligraphyvideo #processvideo #behindthescenes #behindthescenesvideo

Happy Friday, everyone! Here I am, rocking my “skunk streak” and a messy bun, no make-up, second degree sunburn for the world to see, and seriously needing to sweep down my siding(😱)... #thisisme #nofilter . It’s good to be back at my desk being creative.

Multi-colored-wedge-brush-crafted-leaves-on-top-of-scribbles? I think I will! • This totally UNcurated post (🙈) comes at the end of a long day with the help of some scrap paper and a ceramic dish full of leftover watercolors. 👩🏼🎨 I think it’s kind of fun, actually! . . . . #wedgebrush #trianglebrush #trianglebrushflorals #botanicalart #botanicals #botanicalstyle #paintbrushfun #paintbrush #paintbrushes #rachelmillercalligraphy #multicolored #botanicalpainting #painting #watercolorpainting #watercolors

I feel like we’ve forgotten. Do you remember how close Americans were in the aftermath of this horrible day? Stores sold out of flags of every size; people built memorials in their front yards; strangers hugged one another unabashedly; neighborhoods strung every building with red, white, and blue lights; people went out of their way to help one another; the nation joined forces to show compassion to those affected; citizens of other countries flew the Stars & Stripes in honor of those lost; schools held candlelight vigils; municipal departments had honor services; people forgot about politics and right vs. left and religion and tightly-held beliefs and drama and came together in a way I’d never seen before and haven’t really seen since. • Life has gotten in the way again, filling our days and minds with our own preoccupations. I hope we Americans don’t have to experience another tragedy of this magnitude before we can come together again and simply love. . . . . #911memorial #september11 #91101neverforget #91101 #neverforget #neverforget911 #lestweforget #twintowers #twintowersnyc #18yearsagotoday #timepasses #timepassedandpainturnedtomemory #wherewereyou #wherewereyouwhentheworldstoppedturning #september11th

I love making envelopes pretty... had you gotten that idea yet? 😂 Funny story about this one though: I actually made it and another very different one with two friends in mind, but when it came time to address them, I accidentally reversed them! That’s okay, ‘cause both people loved what they got anyway, and that’s all that matters. . . . . #envelopeart #envelopes #envelopecalligraphy #snailmail #snailmailing #snailmailideas #snailmaillove #snailmailrevival #snailmailrevolution #envelopeaddressing #dippencalligraphy #pointedpencalligraphy #rachelmillercalligraphy #penpal #penpalrevolution #sendinglove #watercolorart #watercolorflowers #watercolorflorals

I’m back! 👋 After a much-needed vacation and the details of launching my new product line, @calligraflair , I am so ready to get back into creating beautiful things on P A P E R! I whipped out my wedge brush and channeled my sweet friend @jensweeney4 in an attempt to mimic her simple and charming leaf paintings. (Seriously, go check hers out!) • Why blue? Why not! 🤷🏻♀️ Have a GREAT day! . . . . . #wedgebrush #wedgebrushflorals #botanicalpainting #botanicalpaintings #botanicals #trianglebrush #trianglebrushflorals #watercolorfun #justmessingaround #whynot #paintingpractice #rachelmillercalligraphy #paintingleaves #leavespainting #pacalligrapher #eventcalligrapher #weddingcalligrapher #blueleaves #bluebotanicals
