Gracestone Calligraphics

Technical info:

This is rendered on a full sheet of Stonehenge paper (22" x 30"), using Copperplate Script lettering and including gouache illustrations. It contains 51 signature/witness lines.

Since the wedding occurred days before Christmas, the couple wanted to feature a floral border that depicted wintertime without being the overt standard bright reds and greens associated with this season. Thus, mistletoe was chosen for its romantic symbolism, with its more subtle coloring of ivory berries and sage green leaves with slightly violet undersides.

A custom folder was made to house and preserve the document, using Japanese unryu and marbled papers with satin ribbon ties. Its final size is 24" x 32"; its underlying structure is made from double layers of Crescent Museum Rag matboard.
