My name is Maura Cote and I've been doing calligraphy for over 30 years. If you need a unique, one-of-a-kind gift to give a friend, family, co-worker, etc., that is my specialty! I can hand letter a favorite poem, song or saying on almost anything: canvas, watercolor paper, mat board, a box, etc. I once hand lettered a poem on an ostrich egg!!!!! I can create a unique card or booklet. I paint and collage as well, combining it with calligraphy to make a personalized gift. I can personalize Christmas ornaments and create gifts for people on your Santa List! I do Italic and Uncial (my Irish roots!). I address envelopes (3-line address in Italic) for $1.00 each (from a typed list). If you need a unique gift or calligraphy for any occasion, please e-mail me at mauracote@yahoo.com, or call 210-377-2739. The colorful sun piece below was a Goethe quote I did on hand cut watercolor paper, and I sponged both the watercolor paper and background/foreground mat board using acrylic and splattered with acrylic ink - my first sale on EBay!!! The hand-lettered, “Love Conquers All” Latin piece is black ink on leather (sold), and the Phil Collins song lyrics, “Two hearts living in just one mind, beating together ‘til the end of time”, is black ink on hand-sponged water color paper (sold). I hand lettered a favorite J.B. Priestly quote in uncial on card stock and framed in a black wood frame 8" x 10"(available for $25.00 + s/h). I am also a graphic designer, and although I live in San Antonio, the USPS is a very inexpensive way to span the Texas miles. So, feel free to e-mail or call me for creative ideas and/or solutions. Thanks for looking....
