Calligraphy Inspiration: MM Ink

02/28/2013

I am constantly amazed by how many talented calligraphers I come across. Especially when it comes to more traditional, intricate lettering. Take the work of Moya Minns of MM Ink for example. She studied under Chief White House Calligrapher and Master Penman, Pat Blair (Ooh!); as well as with the legendary Sheila Waters. (Ahh!) Moya is also a member of IAMPETH, and has had her work featured in Martha Stewart Weddings and Southern Weddings Magazine. I am now aspiring to write just one word as beautifully as Moya does one day. – Julie

Romantic and lively, wouldn’t you agree? Moya’s calligraphy is class all the way; the perfect finishing touch to your invitation suite.

After looking through Moya’s work, you’ll no doubt have to pick your jaw off the floor. Who needs additional ornamentation with calligraphy this stunning?

You’ll be happy to hear that MM Ink provides many calligraphy styles to choose from. With so many options, I’m sure you can find something that will perfectly compliment your event. Don’t forget to keep up with Moya on her blog! It’s filled with some lovely sneak peeks at her work.

    I am just so happy to hear that there is a white house calligrapher. Obviously, had I known about this career option earlier, I never would have gone to law school.
