Many people have been asking to see samples of my fonts again... so to make it easy for you all to find them I am reposting them to the top of the blog. Hope this makes things more convenient.
Sample photos coming soon of new items created throughout the past year.

I present the hand created fonts of "Calligraphy by Tammy"....

TANNER ITALIC

ZANE FLOURISH

PRETTY PAM

TAYLOR SCRIPT

CURLY SHANE

BAILEY SLANTS

BRIAN TALL

CONNOR BLOCK

TRACY PRINT

Keep in mind all fonts can be tweaked and adjusted to match what you would like to create. There area also artistic fonts not shown, that are used on things like marriage certificates and such. The fonts above would be the most commonly used fonts in my own calligraphy experience to address envelopes and do place cards and the majority of regular calligraphy work that comes through my doors. These can also be tweaked to add swirls and such that will add to the drama of your envelope. I will post those in a future post.

INTRODUCTION about Tammy

Welcome to my blog! I am Tammy, a Pittsburgh area Calligrapher with 24 years experience serving area brides. Add a touch of elegance to your wedding with hand written, artistically created calligraphy. You have gone great lengths to order a fabulous invitation. The formal proper way of addressing your invitations is by hand. I offer an affordable service and an array of fonts sure to please every bride and groom.
I am a stay at home Mom with an illness and doing this type of work offers me the ability to stay home with my children and work when I feel best. This also affords me the opportunity to offer you the BEST PRICES! With today's economy you can't afford to pay the top dollar. I want your work and consider it a privilege and honor to be included in your wedding plans. I know you won't be able to find the quality of workmanship along with the prices that I extend to my brides. My price may be the lowest in the city, but my work shows the experience of my years of writing for Pittsburgh brides as well as brides all over the U.S. Why pay more, when you can have it all? Great prices, years of experience and no extra hidden fees.
I am always willing to work with you to be certain you are satisfied with your order and your price. I also never nickel/dime you on the details of your pricing. I never charge set up fees, or rush fees, nor do I charge for colored inks (except gold/silver), or list maintenance fees, or for extra lines, etc. These are all things that most other calligraphers charge, but I only charge you per envelope, no matter how many lines are on it. This way you know exactly what your order will cost right up front. I am thrilled to get your work and don't need to add those petty little charges to your bill!
I offer a wide variety of services from addressing of wedding invitations, to creating unique place cards, to typesetting and assembly of beautiful wedding programs and elegant table names and numbers. I am available for on site "day of" wedding services. Having been a former floral designer, I have years of experience in servicing weddings. It's important to go with a calligrapher who has had years of perfecting their craft. I have had to fix another area calligrapher's mistakes on an order for a wedding planner and redo her entire order, because of that lack of experience. Make sure your calligrapher guarantees their work, so you don't have to reorder your envelopes because they have ruined them! Be careful to choose someone who has experience. It takes years of practice to hone the craft of calligraphy. With my services you receive that level of expertise.

Let my artistic abilities combine with your great ideas to make your wedding elegant and one your guests will remember! Remember ...the first item your guests will see regarding your wedding will be the invitation. Give them a feast for the eyes and a glimpse of the marvelous affair that awaits them at your wedding. More samples and fabulous ideas are coming daily!
