Wood Recipe Card Artwork

We created these wood recipe cards to hang in a kitchen for a client who wanted us to replicate their original handwriting. She loved them so much, she ordered a few more. These are handcut and handwritten on chalkboard paint. We love creating unique gift items that use the original handwriting of a family member. Mother’s Day is just around the corner!

Her review, “Desiree’s company put a couple of family recipes on wood so I could display them. Meg copied the original handwriting from the recipes. Love them. I ordered several and am using them for Mother’s Day and birthdays. I highly recommend. Thanks, Desiree and Meg.”

Leather Debossing a Special Name on a Bible Cover

By

Leather debossing is the art of raising material around an impression. In this case, we raised the material around the Hebrew symbols on this leather bible cover. Embossing refers to the creation of a raised impression under high heat of a logo or lettering on materials such as paper, cloth, metal, or leather.

The client brought us his leather bible or jacket cover and wanted the Hebrew symbols for “Yahweh” debossed into it. He also wanted his initials on the lower right hand corner “RKT” in regular Copperplate script calligraphy.

Our leather debossing is done by hand, we were able to copy the symbols into the leather with a woodburning tool. The leather was essentially branded by the heat.

The client was very happy with the final result and ended up bringing more work to us and referring a few friends.

If you have a leather bible or book cover and want our leather debossing service to personalized it, please contact us at 833 INK WE11 (465-9311) or click here to contact us by email. Pricing can be found on this page. Adding someone’s name or special phrase to a bible makes it a timeless heirloom they’ll cherish forever. It’s worth the extra investment and your recipient will never forget your precious gift!

Wine Bottle Engraver a Big Hit at Whole Foods in Atlanta

By

wine bottle engraver

When our wine bottle engraver showed up to engrave wine bottles for FREE at Whole Foods in Buckhead and Ponce the week of Valentine’s day, customers were introduced to a new type of artwork done right in front of them called wine bottle engraving. Our wine bottle engraver takes a dental drill and engraves any message right in front of the customer. The set up is similar to the picture above. All our wine bottle engraver needs is a chair, a table and an electrical outlet.

People were so impressed by the fact the wine bottle engraving was free, they bought multiple bottles for several friends and family members. That’s what it’s all about, selling more wine. One lady drove two hours and bought 20 bottles for her daughter’s wedding!

One young man had his wine bottle engraved, brought it home and his girlfriend dropped it. They came back an hour later for another bottle because she loved it so much. Whole Foods managers were so impressed they hired Inkwell Designers to engrave wine bottles for Mother’s Day. (More about our on-site event engraving and FREE wine bottle engraving schedule can be found here.)

Chalkboard Menus for Restaurants, Coffee Shops and More

By

Chalkboard menus are, perhaps, one of our favorite projects to work on. Working with chalk is a dream because it’s so easy to erase mistakes and start over without ruining the entire chalkboard. Our chalkboard menus are perfect for:

  • Florist Shops
  • Restaurants
  • Bars
  • Breweries
  • Coffee Shops
  • Clothing Shops
  • Salons
  • Weddings
  • Private Parties
  • Wine Bars
  • Any place you can think of!

Here are some examples of chalkboard menus we’ve created for companies and restaurants around Atlanta. Our menus are easy to read and capture the tone of the venue. We create each chalkboard menu by hand, we never use a computer. That lends to the authentic feel of our menus and ability to customize for each client.

Personalized Wedding Guest Book Leather Embossed with Foil

By

A personalized wedding guest book with leather embossed with foil makes a beautiful gift for any couple and can remain a keepsake forever by turning it into a journal of their experiences together.

Kim contacted me about a month ago to add a custom foil design on a leather journal she purchased online. At first, she looked on Google and couldn’t find anyone in Atlanta who could help. We were the only company offering this service on a journal she had already purchased.

Her and Nordia sought me out at the Whole Foods in Buckhead where I was engraving wine bottles on Valentine’s Day. They handed me the journal and asked me our calligraphers to design a logo for them which I would then foil onto the journal with silver foil. I was happy to do it for them.

My calligrapher, Jessica, and I started to work immediately on this personalized wedding guest book project. Jessica designed the modern calligraphy which you can see below.

I then took it and burned it into the leather with silver foil. You can see that process in the video below:

I even went a little further for the couple and added their favorite quote on the inside cover of the leather journal with the woodburner. “Commitment is the law of the heart.”

The result was a very happy couple and a very beautiful personalized wedding guest book!

If you have a leather bound journal or guest book you’d like to have personalized, please contact us at 833 465 9311 or click here to get started on your project!

Engraved Watches Become Precious Keepsakes with A Loved One’s Handwriting

By

Engraved watches are beautiful, but if you add a loved one’s handwriting, they become beautiful keepsakes. We can add engraved handwriting to any surface including glass, metal, leather, wood and crystal.

Sarah contacted us after her boyfriend’s father passed away. She wanted her boyfriend’s father’s watch engraved with his father’s handwriting. The watch was made of stainless steel. She was turned away from many jewelry stores in Atlanta because they simply didn’t offer this service or wouldn’t take on such a precious item.

Our Master Engraver, Desiree Colonna, took on the challenge. She had engraved watches before but this one was extra special.

Desiree had Sarah email her samples of the handwriting she wanted to be copied onto the back of the watch. Although she was a little nervous, Desiree was able to recreate the handwriting exactly with a Sharpie and use her handpiece drill to engrave over it perfectly. Here is the handwriting and the finished item is pictured below.

Sarah was so happy with the final result, she wrote this review on Google:

We are so honored and grateful to be a part of creating this wonderful keepsake for Sarah and Aaron!

If you would like a loved one honored in this way, please contact us at 833 465 9311. We look forward to working with you and helping you create a beautiful keepsake very soon!
