working with paper and a dress i really really really want
oh my god. how much do i want this dress?? anthrolopogie i curse you for making things that i want all the time. why oh why? this dress makes me want to do a gray doily installation and then stand in the middle of it wearing it.... sigh.
over the summer i did a wedding invitation design/printing. go gocco go! they just got married, so i think it's safe to reveal the design. i loved that this couple went for blue and brown - such a nice and nontraditional color combo. i liked the urchin that i drew for them so much that it's going to end up on some underdog goodies very soon. [i'm in the midst of getting it all together]
and speaking of underdog :
the winter skaters are back and i also put up my holiday card from last year:
just in odd chance you don't want to make your own cards this year.... and happen to like mine.... you can buy them [heh heh!]
this year i broke down and just had my cards off-set printed. as much as i love making my own i couldn't fathom gocco-ing all thanksgiving again. not when i have a show i have to finish before the end of december. i actually really like how they came out [i'll show you after i send them out!]- but i do miss the gocco. i'll have to print something else for fun sometime soon.....
the documentary project will return next week. since it's the crazy holiday time of year [already?!] shari and i are going to post every-other week! and shari - you'll be proud - i have SOUND!! :) i just have to figure out how to get it on the blog.

be careful if you go into the anthropologie store...they have soooo many pretty and fancy holiday things that i know i would never actually wear as we usually sit around in thermals and jeans and hoodies over the holidays.
i love your choice of colours and envelopes. so wonderful.
with love,

louise... twist my arm!

hi shari... thank you
gwen... yes a fund. and yes - gocco. anytime
babel - would love to see your card design!
risa.... you are so talking my language.
thanks perfect. i might go try it on....
hannah - i used overnightprints.com for these. they came out good, but i know people have had problems when they use a photo with them.
i also have used psprint.com
or modernpostcard.com
or rocketpostcards.com
or 4by6.com
in the past for other jobs. each has pluses and minuses.
if you want to chat further about it - email me!!
joy - you crack me up!
ANDREA - you were a SKATER??? no way. how cool.... so glad you like them.
this vignette - thanks for stopping by - peer pressure?? it might work
hi momo... thank you!!
