A different expecience!

Recently I had the pleasure to work with the owner of http://www.kikisol.com/

She needed a few designs for the upcoming season. Among others she needed me to do hand drawn versions of different wood grains. It was a very different experience. Pretty challenging actually. I'm looking forward to a future of new and exciting assignments!

My boring old suitcase...

I recently learned about a technique known as "decoupage". Don't be fooled by the fancy name, because it pretty much means "cut and paste". When I was looking around for ideas I was amazed at how many possibilities are out there, and I was immediately inspired to try it!!

Here is my first project - this is of course the "BEFORE" picture. Stand by for a picture of the finished version!!

What I would like to say is "look at this boring old suitcase and this lame old guidebook to Paris (I was hauling both of those items with me TO Paris and also from Paris).

The picture above shows the supplies needed.

Home decor.

We recently moved into a new house and I'm working on decorating it as best I can. My favorite designer brand EVER, is Marimekko. Unfortunately their stuff is too expensive but luckily there are ways of getting around that...:).
