Something I’ve really enjoyed about social media is the ability to stubble upon new and talented people. Case in point: I first came across the work of Elizabeth Hardin of Hardink Calligraphy through Instagram. After ogling and liking her posts for months, I decided it was time to share it with you! (Though some of you may have seen her work featured in countless wedding magazines and websites!) Her writing style is a perfect mix of playful aspects of modern calligraphy with refined elements of the traditional, which I’m sure suits the style of many of our readers to a T! – Julie

I love the way Elizabeth’s calligraphy utilizes space. It almost feels like thread or ribbon streaming across the page.

Less is more with these dinner menus. Elegant and simple, they prove that all you need is a touch of calligraphy.

Hardink Calligraphy also has a shop where you can purchase a range of goods, from custom calligraphy stamps to prints to notepads!  Still want more? Check out Elizabeth’s blog and her work in collaboration with Bella Figura.
