NEW IN THE SHOP!
today i introduce you to a new series of BREAD OF MANY note cards called : FRIENDSIES !
aptly titled as lately i've been turning to my insanely wonderful friends for inspiration and ideas that could translate in interesting ways to stationery...
the first of the FRIENDSIES series was technically my RECKLESS PUMPKIN note set, which i made by copying a photograph of my bandmate and pal PJ, although i designed it before i had plans for a collection...
{ this is a PJ }
i think the photograph was from hallowe'en one year, but i might also think that just because PJ is pictured wearing a mask...
the first intentional FRIENDSIES installment was the NOUX'S POLYGRAPH note set, which was actually the first thing i was able to make after enduring a horribly long period of creative stagnancy... i ended up asking my deer dear Nour for help, and had her imagine what her ideal stationery would look like...
{ this is a Nour }
she had a really rich and exciting response which was actually full of ideas, but included the notion of polygraph stationery...
thank you, Nourex! also, since i'm still riding the excitement-coattails of my own wedding, i'd like to mention that Nour, who was one of my bridesmaids, custom made my veil for me, which was so much better than having to shop around for one and stress about it.. she worked with me on it and it was so so BEAUTIFUL
today i made another in the FRIENDSIES series with a set of note cards dedicated to another chum of mine: Lauren!
{ this is a Lauren }
check it out in my shop!
this FRIENDSIES series is making me really eager to make! make! make! luckily i have a lot of great friends to skim fascinating stuff off of... i'll keep you posted!

(it was nice of her to feign having ideal stationery. i dont even think i have ideal stationery... well, actually maybe i do...)

{ this is a Lauren }A Lauren is such a darling, in fact, that she was able to be a helpful helpful bridesmaid AND play autoharp/banjo during my wedding ceremony even though it was also her very own birthday! and she succumbed to my selfish party happily! what a doll! (we did get everyone to sing happy birthday and give her a toast during dinner...)
and thus, the LITTLE LOLO note set was born.
*SO ANYHOW*
a couple of years ago The Lauren took an awesome series of photographs where miniature animals were placed in adorable "natural" settings. she gave me some prints which are to this day some of the cutest things i've ever seen.. today i was looking at my favorite one : (excuse the poor photograph of photograph...)
