Made the Front Page of Etsy This Morning~

Silk Screened Birdy Recipe Cards

My friend Denise suggested that I create some recipe cards. I'm glad she did, these just make me smile. A set of eight hand printed recipe cards, a place for the secrets for your best recipes on the front and back of each 4 x 6 card. Printed on 100% recycled Wausau paper in driftwood with aqua ink...lovely to give to the new bride with some of your favorite recipes. Created with my little gocco.

Wear T Red Shoes Madam

With this new addition to my shoe series, I have chose to create a silk screened print of these vintage T-strap babies. The original shoes are really lovely and red and should be in my closet! However, they aren't mine. This image was inspired by a photo take by Elizabeth Eden! Thanks so much Elizabeth!

I only made 70 of this print in this color scheme all printed on Brockway 60 cover stock cut at 8" x 5". The butter colored paper has a felt-like feel. Your print would be nice to matted and give to a lady in your life. Remind her to dance freely, and take steps with her chin up.
Print: 10.00

Only a few remain!

I'm thinking I only have six or seven of these tucked away. They are coming to a close. I'd made about fifty of them. Sad...going, going..
I enjoy putting a spin on images from nature, this print is no exception. I'd like to find it in a child's room, kitchen, entry way or office.

Poplar leaves was produced one of my Gocco's. My intent was to show off registration because it's just more interesting to me. The paper is has a felt-like feel, it's pale yellow and 80lb text similar to 60lb cover, the deckle is at the left of the print the brand is Brockway color is ivory, size is 8.5 x 11 with plenty of space around the image for framing. Brockway sure makes an excellent printmaking paper.

I'd love to create some wedding invitations or save the dates with this sort of theme and pattern!

Poplar Leaves Gocco Print

So, this is my first print with my PG Arts for paper, and I had a great time staying up until 1 this morning to finish these! Now, I'd like to talk some offbeat bride
into having me create her save the date cards and or invites with a design similar to this...perhaps using some common fish shapes and earth tones with be cool too! The offbeat bride is my new true soul mate! I just discovered her and I can't wait to read her book. I was just called a bride the other day by my hubby of 23 years, and I'm sure he and others think I more than qualify the offbeat part too. Offbeat bride is my soul mate and this is just one reason: I really believe that just because you are getting married doesn't mean that you need to wear the same shoe that everyone else has. Be different, be yourself and have fun planning and attending your own wedding. Find wedding components that display your personality and originality. Why not have orange and hot pink as your colors? The most beautiful bride I ever saw, wore a iridescent pea green strapless dress. She was stunning, amidst flowers found on a mountainside in Montana and sunflowers grown by her family in rich fabulous colors. I wish that would have been me! I'll see if I can't find some pictures some day of her.....sigh

Oh...and don't forget to check out the prints and more images of the poplar leaves on Etsy!

Gocco'd Wedding Invites

Well there is a bit of a glare on this image, but you can see it well enough I think. The ink is silver and brown on navy colored paper. It's a 5.25 x 5.25 card. This was all I had time to photograph this am before heading to the dentist office for work, but I had to put it up! I hope my lady in London will be pleased she has a beautiful set of wedding stationery coming her way soon!

More Wedding Designs!

Here are some screen printed RSVP cards I'm printing for a wonderful gal from the United Kingdom. In this case, my client has designed the stationery and I'm printing them for her. This has been a great project, but challenging as well! I'm fortunate in the image above, that the silver ink is showing up nicely! The heart is printed in brown ink, a little difficult to decipher in the photo. :) They look amazing...

Funky Fishies on Brown

I have been dreaming of this little fishy for weeks! You may see the details about this shirt using the link within the title of the posting. I used a recycled (perfect shape) Old Navy brown tee and pewter ink for the fishies....I so heart this shirt, but it is just too tiny for me!
