Love & Marriage
The use of calligraphy is most often thought of in terms of weddings, anniversaries, and the celebrations of love. Within this section you will find a wide variety of pieces that I have done over the years in celebration of these events.

  When ordering I can try and replicate the piece as shown on the website, but because each is hand done, I can’t be exact. Instead I encourage you to think outside the box and give me color combinations that you like and let me add my creativity. All prices are for the layouts as seen here. We can customize and change any piece for an additional charge. Please call or e-mail me with any questions.

Love Is...

Love is patient and kind;
Love is not jealous or boastful;
It is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own way;
It is not irritable or resentful;
It does not rejoice at wrong,
but rejoices in the right.
Love bears all things,
Believes all things,
Hopes all things,
Endures all things,
Love never fails.
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Taken from the Bible I have added my own touch of a heart (available in a variety of colors) that swings from a twig. Mounted on layers of handmade paper I then add a colored capital for the beginning of each passage.

A heart designed in paper petals surround this warm phrase about love and friendship. I enclose the piece in a shadowbox frame to add dimension.

On Marriage

Love one another but make not a bond of love
let it rather be a moving sea between
the shores of your souls.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but
let each one of you be alone even as the
strings of a lute are alone they still
quiver with the same music.
You shall be together when the white wings
of death scatter your days.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
and let the winds of the heavens dance
between you.
Give your hearts but not into each other's
keeping, for only the hand of life can
contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near
for the oak tree and the cypress stand
apart and do not grow in each other's
shadow.

- Kahlil Gibran

From The Prophet, this passage is the essence of his marriage poem. I have added my own watercolor accents to complete the piece.

Marriage

Then Almitra spoke again and said, And
what of marriage, master?
And he answered saying:
You were born together, and together
you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white
wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, you shall be together even in the
silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
and let the winds of the heavens dance
between you.

Love one another, but make not a bond
of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between
the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not
from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but
eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be
joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
even as the strings of a lute are
alone though they quiver with the
same music.
- Kahlil Gibran

One of Gibran's most used quotes, this actually contains the full passage. To keep in a more formal layout I have created a bar that has flowers and vines entwined.

We Shall Love Each Other

We shall love each other
While the wind sings through the valley.
We shall love each other
While the mountains reach towards the stars.
We shall love each other
While the earth embraces the sky.

A simple verse that seems to say it all. Layered papers and a wire entwined heart complete the piece.
