Weekend Wishes…

It has been such a busy week for me, I sometimes surprise myslef managing to do everything somehow… It has been such a fun week, too, I got to go to Affordable Art Fair (lots of pictures to report soon), Design on a Dime event (see my donation!), and then a bachelorette party this weekend… :)

Just wanted to wish you guys a happy weekend, I am off to letterpress studio now…

Also, wishing our moms a happy mother’s day!!! We love you!!!

Pictures are from Brooklyn Botanical Garden I visited last weekend for the Cherry Blossom Festival. Perfect for our moms!

Redesigned Flower Pin

I do have a few misprints from the Iris Letterpress prints that I worked on lately, they are still pretty good, but there is one tiny something on the print so that I can’t use it as a product any more… and I have been thinking if I can use those for anything… make some cards? Incorporate them to collages?! And then, I saw these redesigned flower pin from Linda & Harriett — How cute and clever!

Yes, they are made with letterpress misprints.

I love the gold button on top, too.

The pattern is already letterpressed so I’m sure the texture is great, too.

It’ll be so cute on table decoration at a party and the flowers are made with the invitation misprints!

Color Inspiration

I got lots of flowers last week for lots of happy occasions and these gerbera flowers, especially, are just so cute, they make me so happy and I just love the different shades of pink on yellow and green – I had to take pictures and take these colors as inspiration for projects in the future.

I use this online tool to generate the colors as a palette from a photo (you can link your flickr account, too, or upload it from your computer or place URLs) and here is the color palette from the photo above:

*The yellow wall doesn’t get translated as bright as I was hoping to be, but I can always tweak them on my own.

Here is another shot.

Sometimes, a photo creates such a beautiful color palette and it can be used for design project and I love that it’s sometimes a little surprising to see these because I would never normally put these colors together, but they work nicely. You don’t have to use them all, you can just pick a few, too.

For Wednesday morning inspiration. Have a great day, everyone!
