About

Slinging Ink® of Bella Grafia Calligraphy is a firm that is based on the idea that sometimes the vintage way of creating art is the best. Hand written calligraphy is the most elegant form of communication and an event focused on the art of others deserves nothing less.

My passions revolve around my family, Spencerian & Madarasz style calligraphy, music, the planet, Burgundy wine & vegan food. I am a "hippie at heart". However, my style with calligraphy is traditional bordering on purist. Calligraphy became an obsession when I needed calligraphy for my daughter before I started writing professionally and was presented with "computer calligraphy". By definition, this is an oxymoron. My calligraphy work is executed using an oblique dip pen and ink from an inkwell.

A few of my corporate clients include Neiman Marcus, Chanel, Elizabeth Arden, Macallan Scotch, Moët Hennessy and Coppola Wines.

I hope to work with you for calligraphy & wine/spirit bottle engraving and also make a wonderful acquaintance in the process.

Bella Grafia Calligraphy was a dream to work with!! Janet's calligraphy is unbelievably beautiful, pictures could not do it justice! We had so many coworkers, family, friends (even single guys in their 20s who normally would not even notice something like this) comment on how beautiful her work is. I was on the fence about calligraphy initially, but I'm so glad I spent the money! Your wedding invitations set the overall tone for your wedding, and Janet's penmanship will really set your invitations above the rest.

Janet made the process extremely easy from start to finish, and even provided a courier service to pick up and drop off the envelopes at my convenience. She even returned the envelopes to us a few days early, which allowed us to get a head start on assembling and mailing the invitations out (not having to rush is such a blessing). Not only was she incredibly responsive to my emails and questions, she gave me (unprompted) updates to let me know how the process was going, and even sent pictures so I could see the progress along the way and to make sure I was pleased with the work. I wish all my vendors could be even HALF as professional, prompt, and effective as Bella Grafia Ink. I would highly recommend Janet to anyone, and I am a super Type A, perfectionist, picky bride.

I cannot say enough great things about Janet. She was truly a blessing! I was in a crunch and she worked around the clock to get my invitations out on time. She did an incredible job - I received so many emails and texts raving about her work from my wedding guest. If you are looking for a professional, responsive calligrapher who does beautiful work - look no further. Highly recommend!

Working with Janet was an absolute pleasure. From the first moment I wrote to her, her responses were very prompt. She kept me updated on the progress of the job throughout the entire process. And the finished products were breathtaking! She is truly an artist and delivers beautiful calligraphy. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to add that special touch to their wedding invitations. Janet's calligraphy truly make them memorable - I can't tell you how many of my guests have commented on how stunning the invites were!!!

Janet from Bella Grafia Calligraphy is amazing! I live in Florida and researched calligraphers all over the country and she is the best!!! I shipped my wedding envelopes to her and they turned it stunning. Her beautiful work on the invitations set the tone for my whole wedding and I couldn't be more pleased. Janet is always very quick to respond, and although it was a tight timeline she turned it around and delivered right on time. I cannot say enough good things or recommend her highly enough, she is fabulous.

I just wanted to thank Bella Grafia for the beautiful calligraphy address return stamp that they designed for me. My requests were promptly heard and executed. I will definitely use them in the future, and recommend them to others as they were most kind to work with.

Janet at Bella Grafia Calligraphy is AMAZING. As brides are already stressed out about their big day, she makes things so much less stressful with her responsiveness. My invitations were perfect and looked exactly like the examples she provides on her website. Her turnaround is quick. I would recommend her to any of my friends and family.
