ETSY ROUNDUP: CIRCUS INSPIRED

Since I am now on Etsy I have spent a lot more time checking out what is available. Which is to say, just about everything! I created this little treasury list for a circus inspired post, because as you should know by now I love all things whimsical!

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

I have been under the weather all week, and am just anxious to get rid of this flu that everyone seems to be getting. Unfortunately my idea of when I should be better is different than this bugs. I am taking the rest of the week to get healthy again and will be back here on Monday for regular posting.

NEW ITEM ON ETSY... PAPER CUT BACKDROP

Sorry this has taken a few days to get out to you all. I have been under the weather after returning from a weekend of camping in Zion. And.. back to the point! I have just listed something really special on my Etsy shop. I designed a geometric pattern, traced it on the back of a oversized sheet, then patiently cut it out piece by piece. The result is a papercut that plays with light and shadow, feels airy and lovely. It would be perfect for a wedding ceremony, photo booth, cake table, or party back drop! And the best part, take it home after the party and keep in your home as a lovely piece of hanging art.

GALLERY MAR INSTALL

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with Maren Mullin, owner of Gallery Mar, on a window installation project. Gallery Mar is located on Main Street in Park City and is a beautiful, airy space that features stunning fine contemporary art. A little bit about the install; Park City Main Street is being torn up the most of April and May for construction, and we thought it would be fun to bring the scene in with a twist. I created these oversized poppy flowers from construction fencing and chicken wire. They are large, bold, and graphic and a fun mix for the amazing work Maren has featured in her gallery. 

If you are near Park City Gallery Mar is worth checking out. I will be doing regular installations for there throughout this year and we have some incredible ideas planned for the future!

OWD DESIGN STUDIO ON ETSY

HIP HIP HOORAY! If you follow me on Pinterest, you may already know but I am finally on Etsy!  I can't tell you how excited I am for OWD Design Studio to have this little shop. I have just posted a couple of items, but there are going to be so many more in the next week or so (just need to stage and photograph). I am primarily focusing on display items that can be packed and shipped for weddings, parties, and events, but will feature some graphic items.  I have worked really hard to create super lovely packaging as well and can't wait to share that with you soon. Please check out the shop, and pass the word a long or contact me for any custom projects. Thank you!

WHITES

Lately I have been pinning everything white; interiors, florals, fashion, packaging, everything. I just love how it is so soothing and sophisticated.

BRAND IDENTITY: LOEFFLER RANDALL

RoAndCO Studio is a multi-disciplinary design studio focusing on branding, art direction and print in the fashion, art and lifestyle industries. I love their recent work for Loeffler Randall. It is right in line with the effortless, fun, and feminine aesthetic. Be sure to check out RoAndCo's other work, it is clear that they not only know what they are doing, but are really good at it.

All day rain, which to me is a perfect day. Tomorrow everything will be shiny and new. Full of new projects and experiments, can't wait to share soon. I know, I know it is long overdue. Happy Friday!

NEUTRAL FOR PEACE OF MIND

I am loving a really neutral color palette lately with bright whites and touches of soft colors. White walls and wood floors make any artwork or furniture really pop out and seem all that much more special yet the combination is still such a peaceful simplicity.

GOODBYE HORSES

GoodBye Horses is a stunning installation by Sandrine Pelletier. Using thread, tar, iron and latex three horses were suspended in motion. They really look like a 3d version of a single line drawing. From certain viewpoints it is difficult to tell what the installation is, then from others the horses come to life and appear almost in motion.
