Love must be in the air as I recently fell head over heels when I came across the work of Blue Eye Brown Eye‘s Lauren Essl. A designer and calligrapher, Lauren’s portfolio of work is as impressive as it is beautiful. Her pitch perfect invitation design and calligraphy turns something as everyday as a paper and envelopes into a beloved keepsake. Her blog is filled with stunning peeks of her work along with tips and resources for the beginning calligraphers. She’s also sharing her talent with the world through calligraphy classes!  – Julie

I really love how Lauren utilizes space; corners and flaps are filled with ribbons of ink and creates a nice balance for a colorful array of stamps.

To see more of her beautiful calligraphy be sure to check out Lauren’s portfolio and blog. You can also register for her calligraphy classes if you’re located in Texas! More information is available on her website.
