While my gal Tabitha was in Japan last week, I did a fun watercolor DIY as a guest post over on her blog Glitter & Ganache. When I was in school studying textile design, these little, quick, watercolor floral pattern studies were my favorite things to create. The secret is using a thin pen to create the flower shapes. So, so easy!
Full instructions, more pictures, and a different floral pattern over on Glitter & Ganache!
I’ve been up to my elbows making a ton of custom ring pillows lately. Ribbon embroidery is such an old lady craft, but I really love, love making these. Secretly, I can’t wait until I’m about 85 years old wearing huge glasses, lots of jewelry, and fur coats just rocking out my little embroidery projects.
Come on over and snag your very own.
I was lucky enough to work with that lovely lady right up there, Kathleen of Kat Flower, on some branded signage and collateral for her booth at the Brooklyn Flea. This was awesome for many reasons, a few being that I live two blocks from the Flea, Kat is super cool, I love flowers, and I painted bright pink stripes on a tablecloth.
I made her a bunch of these chalkboard sticks to display her prices.
A hand painted and sewn canvas banner that was a joy to make. That’s not sarcastic. I could sew and paint these forever.
Ok, the custom chalkboard came in a very close second to the striped tablecloth for the award of My Favorite.
Fun, right? Her booth looked fab. Come swing by the Fort Green Brooklyn Flea on May 12 and grab your mom some pretty flowers.
I just found your site through Liz’s blog and I’m in love with you and your site! don’t be creeped out, I’m just really affectionate! xo
