A: I can write with a dip pen and ink on paper, as well as on paper-based packaging. Markers are also an option, depending on the surface. However, some papers may not be compatible with certain inks, so adjustments might be needed.

Additionally, I engrave on glass, metal, and select coated surfaces. For floral painting, I work on glass, packaging, and leather.

To ensure the best results, I recommend providing a sample of the item for engraving, calligraphy, or painting before the event. This allows me to test the surface and ensure a flawless outcome. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
