Wedding In Oaxaca

September 30, 2010 cynthia 4 Comments

I have always wanted to tell the story behind my dear friend, Maria's, wedding invitation design. The above image is the incredible reference/inspiration material that Maria first brought to me. She had found this invitation, from Mexico circa 1939, amongst her Grandmother's things. The moment I saw it I knew I had died and gone to heaven! The design is so spectacular and … [Read more...]

Turmoil and Triumph Release Party

September 14, 2010 cynthia 2 Comments

If you didn't get a chance to see the PBS 3-part documentary series on George P. Shultz, you should. It is very well done and gives some remarkable insight. I was extremely fortunate to work with Charlotte Shultz (Mr. Shultz' wife) on designing the menus, place cards and movie posters (shown above) for the release party. I thoroughly enjoyed having the chance to hand-letter … [Read more...]

I'm excited to announce my first printed feature in the September issue of BRIDES magazine! I had so much fun creating this youthful wedding invitation. I hand-lettered all of the text inspired by fonts I found in an old grammar book. The illustrations too, are from or inspired by my collection of school books from the 40's and 50's. I silkscreen printed the invitation and … [Read more...]

Botanical menu

August 9, 2010 cynthia 1 Comment

I have always loved old botanical prints. I created this menu cover for a intimate wedding feast. I used a black and white image of tulips from an old book and hand-lettered the bride and groom's names in the ribbon banner. There were a small number of guests attending this dinner so I was able to hand-paint the tulips on each menu. The results were beautiful. Each guest … [Read more...]
