My Writing Story
| May 10, 2013 | Posted by fozzy under Calligraphy, Inspiration |
It’s been an absolute blessing being able to do what I love and share it with others. I love writing. I love playing with ink and paper and color. I love learning and how I learn even more when I teach. Whenever someone tells me that they’r a fan of my works, I honestly need to…
Chris and Amanda: Endlessly Lovely
| April 4, 2013 | Posted by fozzy under Calligraphy, Inspiration |
Thinking about this wedding fries my brain with so much happiness that it took me forever to decide on how to start this post (so there, it’s officially started). Amanda sent me an email months before her wedding. Like many of my clients, I only get to “meet” them this way. Everything about her was…
Going for Type
| March 15, 2013 | Posted by fozzy under Inspiration |
My love for typography is what got me started designing wedding invitations in the first place. Where else would you get the task of getting a gazillion words and told to make it pretty? I love jobs that allow me to play with different styles and couples who aren’t afraid of using or not using…
Lettering vs. Calligraphy
| February 1, 2013 | Posted by fozzy under Calligraphy, Inspiration |
It’s like the superbowl for type nerds. Artists Guiseppe Salerno and Martina Flor are challenged each day to battle out Lettering and Calligraphy (as the site name does suggest) according to a moderator’s chosen combination of adjective + letter (or symbol or number). The results are nothing short of genius. This is their answer to…
Celebrate Colorfully: Hero’s First Birthday!
| December 14, 2012 | Posted by fozzy under Inspiration |
Hello, everyone! I finally get to posting about Hero’s first birthday (I’m warning you, this will be long). And you may be asking about what theme I chose for her. I knew that I didn’t want to go dainty and pastel-y, mainly because Hero’s personality is far from being a girly-girl. She’s loud, feisty and…
Wedding Essentials Feature: WE Discoveries
| August 30, 2012 | Posted by fozzy under Inspiration |
I really don’t know how to start off this post with wit and without babbling. Because my brain is just taken over by the desire to jump up and down while clutching the latest issue of Wedding Essentials Magazine. Because oh my heavens of rainbows and bacon, I’m in it. With the only decent portrait…

Chalkboard Inspiration
| March 16, 2012 | Posted by fozzy under Inspiration |
What a busy week! So much things going on I’m barely even able to blog. Anyway, I’ve been busying myself finishing up calligraphy for Ed and Gabby‘s wedding. I really love how white ink looks over black. It’s so elegant and charming. And it then got me thinking about chalk over blackboard. Really cool look…

Hand Lettering Inspiration
| November 11, 2011 | Posted by fozzy under Inspiration |
Typographic doodling. I used to do this a lot during high school. When Stabilo markers and gel pens suddenly had so many colors. My history and math books would be filled with borders of squiggles and floating random words. It’s something I should try again, perhaps as a rest from the pointed pen calligraphy my…
