Bridal Jacket

Who doesn’t want to be the showstopper at their own wedding?

Hand painted bridal jackets. Can it get any cooler than that?

Owning a custom designed bridal jacket (Leather or faux leather ONLY) is one of the hottest trends for brides this season (and I’m LOVING it). I absolutely love the idea that a bride or bridesmaid can design a jacket which incorporates their personal style, wedding flowers or wedding theme.

Whatever the design, I can create a bridal jacket which suits you and your bride tribe.

Please note: I do not offer this service on denim jackets.

The turnaround time on a bridal jacket is generally 4-6 weeks, but this may vary in busy periods, especially in the lead up to Christmas. Please message me first if you need it in less time than this (This may incur an additional cost).

Please read the information below for more details.

Want your child to rock the playground in their very own DIDDY JAKCET?

Diddy Jackets can be designed and customised around your child’s personal style. The possibilities are endless - I have painted a variety of different Diddy Jackets in different styles for different occasions. Whether you’re wanting a “Mini Me”, a matching Flower Girl, a Diddy biker boy or you're wanting to surprise your little one on their birthday (perhaps a Disneyland holiday reveal jacket like Aria’s featured in my gallery).

- Suitable from ages 0 - 11yrs

Hand Painted Jackets don’t have to be just for Weddings. I absolutely love getting creative and coming up with new, sassy, stand-out designs.

Why not pimp up your uniform, get lyrical for a Festival or be the main attraction at any occasion (perhaps a Prom or a Graduation). Drop me a message if you’re interested in something different.

Do you have a friend or family member who would be interested in a Calligraphy class?

Perhaps they are recently engaged and want to keep the costs down for their wedding? They’re in desperate need for a relaxing yet insightful evening? Or they’ve been looking at booking onto my calligraphy classes before but don’t ever “treat themselves” to an evening for themselves?

A Calligraphy gift card would be perfect for them (no expiry date!)

PS. For no extra cost, I will post a personalised invitation directly to yourself or the recipient (just like the invite pictured)

An E-Gift Voucher is the perfect gift for modern calligraphy enthusiasts, future brides and aspiring scribblers. Simply select the amount that you would to gift. This gift voucher will then be sent in the form of an email to the lucky recipient.

A4 downloadable worksheets for you to work on in the comfort of your own home.

Within this booklet, I have individually hand-drawn 7 variations of each letter (both lower and upper case), which means there are 182 different letter formations for you to practise. I have put together these pages using my own style of Calligraphy (adopting elements of Copperplate and Modern Calligraphy).

They have been created for someone who has pointed pen experience. If you haven’t practised pointed pen calligraphy, then I would recommend using the equipment provided in my Beginners Calligraphy Kit.

The super six nibs collection is the ultimate collection for modern calligraphers.

The super six nibs are the:

Nikko G Nib
Brause No. 361 Nib A.K.A Blue Pumpkin
Brause Rose No.76 Nib
Leonardt Ef Principal Nib

Jar measures: 95mm height and 35mm width

This A5 Rhodia stapled pad has dot paper (Black) or Lined (White) with 80 detachable micro perforated sheets which are ideal for calligraphy. The staples do not go through the back cover, so it stays flat with no accidental unbinding. The coated card front cover is scored so that it flips up and folds back out of the way.

The lined (White) pad is perfect for beginners who need quality calligraphy paper for practise.

The dot (Black) ruling enables a more creative use of the paper, but still provides structure to this (for example, I often use the Rhodia dot pad to play around with flourishes, logo design and calligraphy with imagery).

Special prices are available on sets of three pads and five pads. Check on the option list below.

*Perfect addition to a beginners calligraphy kit and my range of coloured inks.
