i've started! and have a couple of nasty cuts on my fingers to prove it!

one envelope done, ten to go...

you and me

very, very excited to have one of my art prints chosen for a minted special prize! i can't wait to see it framed up on my office wall.

p.s. if you're looking for a whimsical wedding invitation my summer love design is now up for sale on minted. available in three delicious flavors just in time for summer; lemon, orange and strawberry!

UN-

my new collection of collages are inspired by the need to un-plug (after 8+ hours of staring at a computer screen), are un-fussy (no over-analysis allowed!) and all about the creative process.

page one below:

keep checking back as i'm hoping to get a bit of momentum and therefore make these mini collages a regular feature. happy weekend!

valentine's greetings

get your valentine's day cards sorted early with these super cute greetings on minted featuring my heartfold design! available in fushia (pictured), lime and orange.x

happily ever after

just for fun i thought i'd share one of my latest designs for the minted 'untitled art challenge' and a little peek behind-the-scenes at all the changes it has been through...

love the colors but the bow was looking a bit weird

next i added a background color, some shading on the ribbon and tweaked the bow

and this is where i'm at now!

added some transparency, the bow is looking a million times better but i'm still not sold on the colors.

i'm drawn to bright colors in my designs but not sure if that's a universally, or indeed practical idea when choosing a print to hang in your home. i'd love to hear your thoughts! keep it bold? or tone it down a notch?

breakfast

i will go all out here and declare breakfast to be my most favourite meal of the day, followed closely by dessert... therefore BKFST (via miss moss) has gone straight to my bookmark bar and in celebration i took a quick shot of my bowl this morning

so so so so yummy! and even better to relax in bed with a big mug of coffee!
