I’ve been behind on my blog posts lately, but there is a good reason! I find displaying photos on Facebook is easier because I can include full albums instead of just one or two shots. Also, it gets a little repetitive doing both each time. I’ll keep updating my blog periodically, but if you wanted to see more please check out my Facebook page.

And for the full story behind this grape hyacinth field…check out the album and explanation here. :)

spring weddings

Earlier this week was all grass and flowers in the studio.

2013 calendar from studio carta

Last year I loved Angela Liguori’s 3-D spool calendar, and this hanging mobile version for 2013 is even more beautiful.

Nice work Angela!!!

tim tam wedding

I’ve mentioned many times before that aside from printing wedding invitation styles in the collection, I also regularly print work designed by clients. I love doing this because it gives me some nice variety, and a chance to collaborate on outside projects. Here is a really great example – an invitation I recently printed for a couple in Brooklyn (she’s an art director and he’s a visual artist / TV editor).

This couple decided to create an art project for their invitations based on their names – Tim and Tami. They chose some images from the iconic “Tim Tam” brand and had local illustrator Nathan Gelgud bring them to life. Instead of a traditional wedding invitation, their guests received five small prints in the mail – four illustrations and one card with the hand-lettered details of the wedding. All of the images have a different story and once you start looking them up, you get pulled in. I absolutely love it…well done Tami, Tim and Nathan.

You can find a few more photos of the set here.

across the pond

It felt like I was printing red and black for the entire month of December, so these business cards fit right into the holiday schedule.

Printed on super thick 236# stock, I felt important just holding them. Now that’s what I call a business card. :)
