I presented the final proofs of a new bespoke painted invitation today, printed on special handmade paper with a smooth surface and textured bark-like surface on the reverse! The papers are amazing to the touch! Can’t really reveal a whole lot right now, but here are several teasers from the project! One hint, the venue is local here in Los …
Gushing over New Brushes!
Its been awhile since I’ve done a studio/tool tour and here is one I couldn’t help doing today. I woke up this morning to a pleasant surprise (after an earlier shipping error), DHL knocked on my door to bring me my new handmade pure Kolinsky sable brushes all the way from England.

Doodling on beautiful remnants…
I had a few lovely bits of washi paper lying about that are so beautiful I couldn’t bear to throw them away so I did a little sketch to test out some brush pen strokes and a light sakura-esque color scheme. I’ve fallen in love with its wispy, romantic tones and it’s now pinned on my Desire Wall. Sometimes spontaneity …

Atelier Thursday: Seed Packet Sample Kit coming soon!
A print and paper swatch kit has been in the works for ages in the studio. This is something I’ve always wanted to be able to offer my brides (and grooms). Our custom invitation suites and designs are normally so complex and meticulously hand-crafted/printed that it was impossible to send out samples to everyone interested. I designed this sample packet …

It went well and I am thrilled …
