Betsy Dunlap, Tucson Vendor: Calligrapher Website: Betsy Dunlap Calligraphy About Me: Ever since I was a little girl, my passion has been creating beauty; doing exactly that for a career is a perfect fit! When I’m not working, I enjoy hanging out with my husband, traveling, gardening, cooking up a storm, reading voraciously, watching old movies, listening to music/going to concerts, learning the bass guitar, quilting, and basically doing anything that involves creating something with my hands.

Hello!

December 2nd, 2008 @ 1:58 pm by Betsy @ Betsy Dunlap Calligraphy

Hello there! I feel so honored to have been asked to blog in this new Weddingbee space, and I'll surely do my best to bring lots of inspiration your way! Being a calligrapher is certainly an interesting and unpredictable job, and I always am working on projects that are both challenging and engaging. I'm looking forward to sharing that with you.

I live in Tucson, Arizona, with my amazing husband, Nick, and our two sweet cats. I was born and raised here, although I've also lived in Oregon and Austria (gorgeous!) for brief periods of time. I studied English at the University of Arizona, and stumbled into doing calligraphy a couple of years after I graduated.

Ever since I was a little girl, my passion has been creating beauty; doing exactly that for a career is a perfect fit! When I'm not working, I enjoy hanging out with my husband, traveling, gardening, cooking up a storm, reading voraciously, watching old movies, listening to music/going to concerts, learning the bass guitar, quilting, and basically doing anything that involves creating something with my hands. I recently started another business with my friend Shanna Murray called Hello Handmade... we are currently selling calendars and some holiday wares, but hope to move in the wedding direction, so stay tuned!

It is wonderful to meet you, and I can't wait to get to know you better in this little space!

xo,
Betsy

Betsy- I am SUCH a fan of yours - I bookmark your work every time I see it in a magazine or blog! I graduated from a major art school (which was useless, I tell you!), and I have been doing calligraphy on a small scale for years. Though, like most artists, I work full time at a sad, non-creative, soul-destroying job (too dramatic? :) ), I’ve always dreamed of becoming a full-time artist like you. How did you first get started and build your business? I would love some advice from a master! :)

I am so glad you are blogging for WB Pro. I love your work. The samples I got from you are on my fridge so I can look at them everyday until I can figure out a project that will use your work. I love the new Etsy store, btw. It’s all so great.
