A thirty foot aisle runner at The Farm at Harvest Hills

I hand lettered this thirty foot aisle runner with the entire scripture chapter 1 Corinthians 13. The lettering itself covers nine feet of the runner!

Read her post about the day (opens in a new tab)

The end of the passage on the runner reads: reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13.

Hi, I'm Allyson

Based in Columbus, Ohio, I am a modern calligrapher and I help engaged couples and local businesses stand out through custom, hand lettered signage that tells their unique stories.

I love the challenge of creating a hand lettered sign that is beautiful and functional, a work of art with an attractive design that also tells a story.
