Up close with these washes who went to Hawaii last month! 🌺 #thunderloftpaper
It’s all in the little details. Here’s a beautiful gilded frame with some added floral illustrations. Eye spy some dog toys in the background somewhere....🐶 . . #moderncalligraphy #mirrorcalligraphy #botanicallineart #florals #botanicals #floralillustration #torontowedding #torontocalligrapher #thunderloftpaper
I finally drafted up all my expenses for tax season and was glad to see I had spent significantly less on supplies this year. Did I spend less in general...no 😆 but I would definitely say there is wiser allocation and my supplies are more intentional and researched. Knowing what you’re using will really help you understand what you’re making and how it turns out. This floral project is one of the few occasions where I’m using higher grade paper, paint and brush altogether and I am thoroughly enjoying it! Paper: Stonehenge Legion cold press Paint: Winsor Newton Brush: Princeton Glacier Water: tap 😝 . . . #thunderloftpaper
What a treat it is to write on vellum! A little Ed Sheeran never hurt anyone and this table runner is bound to look pretty snappy paired on its winter-red decor. ❤️ #thunderloftpaper . . . #handlettering #handlettered #calligraphy #torontocalligraphy #torontoevents #weddingdecor #bridalshower #sweethearttable #babyshower #caketable #eventdecor #calligraphydecor #weddingcalligraphy #tablerunner #etsywedding #distillerydistrict #bohoweddingdress #bohodecor
It’s snowmageddon, 3rd round over here...and I sort of like it. There’s this quietness and brightness about Winter unlike any other. Maybe a little skate at our neighbourhood rink (so Canada) is in order ☺️. . . . This mirror may have been the epitome of trial and tribulations this week. A combination of house guests, deadlines, accidents and things out of my control have taught me a a few new lessons. In the end, learning to let go and breathe are important skills! #thunderloftpaper

I had a smidge of down time this weekend to give my brain a break during report card season. I decided it was a good time to finally dig into @monvoirco’s Everyday Watercolours and just pool some paint around. It was mega therapeutic ☺️. Some florals in progress, ready for scanning alongside too. #thunderloftpaper #thunderloftflorals
“Little town, everyday like the one before...” . . . Double runners for a sweet baby shower, I was singing the whole time making this 🎶 #thunderloftpaper

I don’t reuse too many posts, but since #handletteredabcs_2018 and #letterarchive are both on, why not? I have a letter ‘C’ and that’ll be it for awhile because they take quite some time to make. . . . I’m other timely news, @blackchalkco has just released her newest edition of her amazing @penultimatemagazine!You’ll find a little blurb from yours truly, taking you through my process for my #watercoloralphabet. You’ll want to check it out soon, especially if you’re into watercolouring! There are tons of pages on colour theory, palette set-up, FAQs on watercolours, tutorials and some interviews with a couple talented artists. Definitely not one to miss! . . . #abcs_c #letterarchive_c #thunderloftpaper #thunderloftflorals
What’s your 2018 wave?The waves will come, like it or not. Catch them or eat them.... #llresolutions #letteringleague #thunderloftpaper
No joke, this took me a month to finish 🤦🏻‍♀️. But coming out of one of the busiest times of the year for me, this was a welcome weekend to finally have a slow unwind. I also have a letter 'A' in the works. You'll probably see it in the new year! . . #handletteredabcs_2018 #abcs_b #letterarchive #letterarchive_b #thunderloftpaper #thunderloftflorals
I thought wedding season was coming to a close but the winter brides are coming! I have a few runners going out the door this weekend. Happy fri-yay everyone, there's a couple pints in my near future 😎😎 #arcadefire here I come 🙌🏻!
Hey Toronto, where's your favourite fall foliage (aka blazing red trees) walk/viewpoint? Also, this mirror was mega fun to create !#thunderloftpaper
