Product Description
NOTE: I have temporarily dropped the price of this item from $100 to $75 because I am currently getting down to the beach more often.

This is for a name carved on the beach. You get the full, professional quality, high resolution image to use for any personal purposes - a cover for a birthday card, a canvas print, etc.

See http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Peoples-names-1/288369 for a description and lots more samples.

Please contact me on beachcalligraphy(at)gmail.com before placing an order.

Inspiration/Story Behind This Product
I have a strange relationship with names. They have a sort of a grip on me. Even when I was kid, before I even knew what calligraphy was and I was experimenting with all sorts of weird and wonderful letters, I'd be drawing girlfriend's or boyfriend's names for the other kids. I'm quite capable of doing larger, more interesting projects, but a simple name? I love it!

The best explanation I can come up with is that it feels like designing a logo / wordmark. The challenge is to get that unique combination of letters to really sing together in some special way.

Given just one word to work with, all the details come to the fore for me - the flow from one letter to the next, the spacing, the shape of the word as a whole, the tension, the harmony, keeping a family resemblance between the letters, etc.
