save the date ideas

I’ve been working on save the date ideas for my wedding next year.

I plan on having them giclee printed at a local fine art printer. 

These are just some brainstorming ideas, I feel like the pink is a little too pink.

I’m also practicing my calligraphy with some vintage nibs I picked up, 

heres hoping I’ll be skilled enough to address the envelopes!

Graham and I have been collaborating on creating some cool 3D patterns.

Here’s one we created on this rainy day in Brooklyn. 

What do you think?

my new business card

   Can you believe until recently I didn’t have a business card? I decided to make my own and had them
   printed at vistaprint. I think they came out really cute!

summer lovin

Not only did my boyfriend, Graham and I recently get engaged, but 4 of our dearest couple friends also got engaged this Summer! It’s the summer of LOVE :)  I wanted to send them all a little Congratulations card so I painted the appropriate word and sent them on their way.  Let the wedding planning begin!

Happy New Prints!

Three brand new prints I created just for fun! 

These are all hand painted by me, then I scan the artwork and 

create a seamless pattern in photoshop.  If you are wondering how

to make a seamless pattern, check out the Pattern People e-book. 

Happy Friday everyone!
