Calligraphy Flourish Friday and Lisa Hopkins

©Jane Farr Calligraphy & Design LLC
 Happy Flourish Friday! Here is a little flourish for you. I used Dr. Martin's Pen White and a Zebra G nib.

Recently I had the great pleasure of meeting Lisa Hopkins of Lisa Hopkins Design.  I was first acquainted with Lisa back in 2005 when we both participated in the Cyberscribes' monthly ATC (Artist Trading Card) exchanges.  I learned Lisa had just moved to Indiana, and she had joined the Calligraphy Guild of Indiana.  Over the years I kept bumping into Lisa and admiring her work through Cyberscribes and CGI exchanges.  Lisa launched her own business several years ago making unique and custom designed jewelry - much of which incorporates her beautiful lettering.

 When I learned Lisa would have a booth at the Indiana Artisan Marketplace in Indianapolis, I was eager to meet her and see her work first hand. This is Lisa! She is as sweet as she looks. I was so happy to finally meet Lisa after all these years! 
Necklace and Earrings by Lisa Hopkins Design
I am now a happy Lisa Hopkins Design customer! This is the necklace and earrings I purchased from Lisa. I love this quote - an adaptation from Thoreau's "Walden." It would also make an excellent gift for a young woman's graduation; don't you think? It's such a unique design, and I love wearing it.  It makes my head hurt just thinking about how Lisa gets her lettering to look so fine on such small pieces.  
To see more of Lisa's fabulous work, visit her website by clicking here.
This year Lisa is designing a new ring each week which you can check out on her blog by clicking here.
You can purchase Lisa's designs at her Etsy shop by clicking here.

Have a great weekend!
So glad this post did not get lost amidst all the Blogger problems!

  4. Hi, Jane, that necklace is beautiful. I agree with you about the blogger problems, major frustrating when we can't post. I am glad yours got through and I love your white writing on the black paper. Smashing.

  6. I love your new pieces. That is one of my favorite quotes. I had Maria Thomas write it for me on one of her botanicals. I would love that necklace too! :)

    Your Tasha card is lovely.
