Hi there, I’m Bethany! I’m a self taught calligrapher and engraver based in Austin, Texas. I’ve been obsessed with handwriting and font styles since we were kids in school still tracing dotted lines to practice letters. I remember thinking, “I can write this letter way prettier without having the follow the dotted lines.” If it could be written on, I was writing on it. I kept practicing and evolving my craft into different forms of calligraphy, various mediums, allll the different tools I could get my hands on, and even branching out into engraving. I loved being a part of all the special moments from birth announcements to wedding signage and everything in between and beyond so I started Silverbelly Calligraphy in the beginning of 2024 and wonder why I waited so long! By day, I work in healthcare operations and you can usually find me traveling with my husband, rooting for the Texas Longhorns, or spending time with our two puppies Max and Bailey.
