How I work with my clients

I am so excited to help my clients bring their vision to life!  With that in mind, before contracting my services, please spend time reviewing my work to ensure that you like and trust my artistic style and abilities.  I will take great care to create something unique and beautiful for your special occasion!

Art and Handwritten Work

Please keep in mind that, unlike computer-generated text, the beauty of handwritten calligraphy is in the natural variation of the letter forms. Therefore, it is impossible for my hand to every stroke in the same way every single time. These variations result in every piece of writing being a distinctive work of art.  All creations done by hand will have these variations, and my hope is that you will enjoy the timelessness of hand-calligraphed and personalized stationery and gifts, and appreciate this quality.

Licensing

As the artist, I remain the sole owner of all artistic rights. Commissioned art is for personal use only. Separate commercial licensing agreements are available, upon express written request.

Photography

Emailed copies of professional photography taken of my work are always appreciated. You are encouraged to share images on social media (credit with “Blue Sky Inspirations Calligraphy and Engraving”). If sharing on Instagram, please tag @blueskyinspirations2019.

Changes to Quantity

If the quantity of guests/product decreases after the deposit has been made, the original agreed-upon terms remain in effect.   

Text Submission

I will copy the texts submitted to me exactly as they are. Please not that for commissioned pieces, no changes may be made after work has begun. Name/address lists must be provided as an Excel spreadsheet. If the text is not submitted by the requested date, it is likely to delay the order deadline. If an order must be expedited, charges will apply. 

Additional Blanks

Please understand that errors are inevitable with hand-produced work. For projects such as envelopes and place cards, please provide a minimum of 20% additional blank product with a minimum of 10 count. The more extras I have, the faster I can work and the sooner the order will be completed.

Corrections

Please review the final order upon receipt to be sure there are no corrections needed. If any corrections are needed, please email a complete list within 72 hours of delivery.

Note About Calligraphed Mail

With any handwritten address, the automated postal scanners may have trouble reading the envelope. Any address that cannot be read by machine is routinely hand-inspected and mailed by the postal employees.
