Project Spotlight
Artistic Writing
“Calligraphy”, “artistic handwriting” or “scripting”; call it what you will, nothing adds a touch of classic elegance to an invitation, greeting, or advertisement like calligraphy. No computer generation elicits the same impression as handwritten calligraphy. Your event or product deserves the beauty of this fine art form.
Weddings & Events...
Your event is special; the invitation should be as distinctive! Calligraphy is the perfect medium for addressing envelopes, inscribing invitations, and incorporating designs in handwritten, artisan style to enhance the superior presentation of your message. Calligraphy conveys eclectic artistry in a way none other than handwritten creations are able to achieve. Your invitations and displays will express the exceptional attention to detail you’ve given to planning with the exquisite quality only handwritten calligraphy can provide.
Business Marketing...
Distinguish your mailings from the rest! You wouldn’t immediately discard a hand addressed envelope as junk mail and neither will your prospective customers! Your message will be immediately valued for its aesthetic beauty – it’s that special touch handwritten addressing provides! Hand addressed envelopes are opened 72% more often than computer generated addresses.

My husband is an Electrical Designer for a very “green” Architectural/Engineering firm. We used this piece of recycled wood, some old paint, and fancy letter decals to create this one-of-a-kind plaque for his office. I even picked out the inspiring quote.
“I was so surprised with this special gift Tasha made for me at my new place of employment. It is very unique and creative and will fit right in to my new environment, what a gem! That’s why I married her 🙂

“I worked with Tasha recently when I needed someone to hand-address over 200 envelopes in a short period of time. Tasha was extremely accommodating, very fast, and extremely pleasant to work with. After the mailing was received, I heard several compliments on the handwriting on the envelopes. Overall, I am very pleased with Tasha and will use her again. She has a wonderful, bubbly personality, and I believe she is focused 100% on customer service. A great pleasure to work with.”
Matt emailed me on a Monday hoping to have the lyrics to their song in calligraphy, framed and ready to go for his wedding which was less than two weeks away. After a brief discussion I put something together, scanned it and emailed it to Matt for his review. I then took care of the matting, selected a nice frame based on his description of their decor and delivered it to him the following Monday, wrapped and ready to go!”I was looking to give a wedding gift to my future wife of “our song” and it turned out beautiful. Tasha did a great job…even with the short notice I gave her. Thanks again Tasha!!!”
“Tasha was such a pleasure to work with. Since I live in Los Angeles, it was extremely important to have someone that was reliable & professional. She was extremely accommodating and flexible. She wanted to know upfront when I needed the completed product. I had a day filled with back to back appointments, Tasha offered to meet me at one of my appointments to pick up the cards. She maintained frequent contact via text & email…where she would provide me with a status update or ask questions to ensure that my list was accurate. I loved that she would question things just to be sure. She is detail oriented and went above and beyond to ensure that my Save-The-Date cards were beautiful. She was a great find…extremely thoughtful and considerate. I felt as though I had known her for years. No matter where I live in the U.S., I think I will find a way to have Tasha address all my important envelopes.”
“I just wanted to let you know how much we loved the work you did. Every single person who’s gotten their invitation so far has went out of their way to tell us how gorgeous the calligraphy was. Not only that but how different it is than any calligraphy style they’ve seen. We truly appreciate the opportunity to have had you create something so beautiful and personal for us.”
I had the distinct pleasure of working with Tasha recently so if you are considering any type of artistic calligraphy, she offers not only professionalism but kindness and out of this world talent. My fiancé and I were looking to add something special to our wedding invitation suite and thought artistic calligraphy would be the way to go. Tasha came highly recommended and she has been an absolute pleasure to work with since our very first communication and I recommend her for many reasons.
First, Tasha is a true talent. She really enjoys what she does, which makes handing over your invitations, envelopes and guest list a no-brainer. Her work was done in real pen and ink, which added an unparalleled beauty and charm to our invitations. I hardly wanted to send them out they were so lovely! The vendors that I have loved working with the most have been those that have a real passion for their craft – Tasha truly is an artist and I trust her judgment and abilities beyond all others. Tasha offers many different handwriting styles and is incredibly accommodating as she is willing to work closely with you to customize the style and even color.
Second, Tasha is a true professional. Tasha was always prompt and courteous in all our communications. She often went out of the way to meet with me when it was convenient for me. Additionally, Tasha delivers. Tasha told me an expected completion date for my project and it was done on time and presented just beautifully.
Third, Tasha is a great value. You are getting real artwork for a price that will not break the bank. You cannot go wrong – Tasha and her work are just flat out amazing.
Tasha at the Purple Squid – one of my favorite wedding vendors and I am confident you will feel the same way.”
