Originally from the New Orleans area, Faith Miller began writing calligraphy as a high school student with a heavy background in art. These days, she enjoys writing as an outlet from her job as a wife and mom of three. She's worked with clients such as Valentino and Cartier, and you can see her work in the Fall issue of "Brides Atlanta" 2008.
Here are some samples of her beautiful work...

Faith has graciously offered to give one my readers a free, custom monogram. Here are a couple of examples of a couple she has done...

These designs normally start at $40 and go up, but if you win, she'll create one for you for free in the style of your choice!
The process is this:
1- Pick which style font you'd like your monogram in
2- Faith will sketch up a rough draft for your approval
3- Tell Faith about any changes you'd like made if necessary
4- Faith will sketch up another draft implementing your requested changes
5- Your final copy will be scanned in at a high resolution version and will be emailed to you
6- Lastly, she'll mail you a hard copy version via snail mail
Then you're free to use the monogram on whatever you'd like to put it on.
The sky is the limit!
To enter this giveaway, just let me a comment here with your email address or blog address. Then make sure to visit Calligraphy Atlanta and say hello to Faith!
Contest ends at midnight on Wednesday, June 24th, 2009. Good luck!

micrendle@tx.rr.com
Very stunning!!You can see the passion in her writing.
I love both the Faith & Jessica fonts. I think the Jessica font is the closest to what I used on my wedding announcements 20 years ago – tomorrow, June 24! My sister & I were in college. She a freshman & I a senior and I was getting married after I graduated. I talked her into taking a calligraphy class thru Texas A&M and we would address the envelopes ourselves. Needless to say, we found out how hard calligraphy really is. Truly an art! Thanks for the chance!

I took a class in calligraphy many years ago, but I can see that you do need natural artistic ability. That is lovely and I know how hard it is to learn and do.
