These miniature daisies are destined for the front of a Mother's Day card. It took me most of a morning to make these six dollhouse-sized daisies, but there's something rewarding about knowing you made everything from scratch instead of buying them from a store.
I am in need of two stamps, one of which I placed on etsy's alchemy. It will be a simple unobtrusive one for the back of my cards. This one is a preliminary mockup of a design I would use to tag my items for a craft fair/store....
I love drawing cogs! In this case they wound up as a woodburned cover for a small, square, hand bound journal...
...by returning to the past. This is one of my 2007 designs, newly remade. I will have it for sale once I take better pics in the morning light. This pic doesn't show that the white paper is textured, the red wings sparkle, and the letters are glittery.
I opted for a more graphical approach to the cover, by using the unique abstract pattern formed by bicycle spokes. The cover can have a sentiment added or it can be left as is.... The end!
I've just started a new pop-up card design for someone who needs a card for a bicycle refurbisher. From top to bottom: First comes my mock-up of the wheel. I decided to lose the white in favor of the metallic silver paper. The metallic thread as spokes worked out well. The second pic is where I draw out the rest of the bike based on the size of the wheels. I've used several sketches of single gear bikes to come up with a frame I liked, and then produced a pattern for future use. The third pic is the bike almost finished; it needs handlebars, a seat and the front wheel center.
