Watercolor Dry Fly Prints

11x14 double-matted and signed by artist

Featured here are the current calendar months that I made for this year. New calendars for 2025 are here!

Last month I enjoyed working in my little studio designing some bridal shower invitations, some fall watercolor illustrations, certificates, birthday cards, and I’m finishing up teaching another 5-week course in Copperplate calligraphy. On my drawing boards and iPad right now are calendars, note cards, and Christmas cards. If you need custom calligraphy, I am happy to work with you. Just send me an inquiry located in the Calligraphy Services tab above.

Please know that all my products feature my hand-lettering, watercolors, and digital graphics, and are designed solely by myself. My stationery and other printed products are made in Idaho or printed elsewhere in the USA. Yay!

Client Reviews

“D'Ann did calligraphy on the invitations to a corporate event. Her work is gorgeous, and she is very detailed oriented. Blue Cross of Idaho also used D'Ann to design our ornaments for the Giving Campaign at Christmas. Her ornaments were a huge hit!” ~J.M.

“My experience working with DiAnnZ Letters Custom Calligraphy was extremely positive. She worked with me to make a custom invitation for an special event that I was hosting. She is very easy to communicate with, has great time management in outlining the project with all my deadlines being met, has very reasonable prices for the exceptional work that she does and her work is of the utmost quality. I recommend her for any of your custom work!” -G.H.
