New space

09.18.2012

my older sister and i recently made the decision to move our studio space together. her space is much larger and more versatile. mine was tiny, tiny and i out grew it very fast. what i am most excited about is collaborating or just working in the same space as her. she has been a huge inspiration for me growing up and she always seems to have the answer for creative solutions—and hey she is pretty handy!

things are moving quickly and will be all set up in our space very shortly. our biggest challenge is getting out chandler & price pilot old style press moved and working.

we are sharing our space in a studio tour next week for an event put together by the connecticut art director’s club. looking forward to sharing our work in progress.

Bridal Show

04.26.2012

sorry for my absence lately! busy busy and everything seems to be moving non-stop. i was part of a bridal show this past weekend at the Hilton in Mystic as a wedding stationery vendor. excited to start working on invites for some new couples. the process is so fun, but i especially love the beginning getting to know the couple and learning the flavor and essence of their dream wedding.

i was torn about the best way to show all my work in a little tiny space besides an album which I did for my first show. i wanted to do something that would draw people in and i always had this vision of displaying everything on a birdcage. the daisy fabric gave it a backyard/garden look. I also had a white mailbox but couldn’t fit it on the table : ( next time. captured a few pics on instagram.

so excited about my new letterpress business cards with zebra print backside.

William & Julie Celtic Knot Wedding Invitations

12.31.2011

i think one of my favorite things to design are wedding invitations. i love to the challenge of representing the couple and the occasion on paper to share with all their loved ones. william & julie wanted to have a classic and sophisticated look & feel that integrated the celtic knot with their wedding colors red, black & cream. we fell in love with a felt cream paper and the rest was history. i loved every minute of it. now time to celebrate.

Happy Holidays

12.24.2011

It seems fitting to end the year sharing my holiday card sets I designed for the art+gift show at the Hygienic Art Galleries in New London, CT. Every year in the past I designed a calendar, but this year I wanted to do something different, so I switched it up and did three different card sets: Holiday series, Peace Love &…., as well as the Animal series. My Animal series sold out but they will be for ready and for sale in my Etsy shop in the New Year : ) Yay 2012!

Hope you have a safe and happy holiday!! xo
