Quilligraphy- Framed Prints and Greeting Cards with Calligraphy and Pressed Flowers make lovely gifts
Description
Pressed flowers and calligraphy are the mediums used by Judy Orcutt, artist and owner of QuilliGraphy, to create HOME GROWN ART™.
Judy learned calligraphy in the early 1980s at the local YWCA. Later, she took private lessons from calligraphers in the Washington, DC area. Still, Judy is primarily a self-taught calligrapher. Many hours have been spent just practicing the alphabet & lettering. She also makes her own colored calligraphy ink.
In 1997, Judy added pressed flowers to her calligraphy. As a graduate of Temple University School of Pharmacy Judy's botany background has helped her with the identification of the flora used in her artwork. Judy personally grows and presses the garden flowers used in the original QuilliGraphy artwork used to make the prints and notecards. She is a part-time practicing community pharmacist involved in the long term care aspect of that profession.
