my most recent project
Here is an image of my most recent project. We were told to choose a consumer product, take a photo of it, and turn it into a vector image! Tah-dah!
Of course anything about campbells soup reminds us of Andy Warhol, whom I adore. And as I was researching him I found this:
Each can actually contains soup, and is covered with authentic reproductions of Warhol-designed labels.
How cool?! Perfect to display in your kitchen! .( $12 each ).
focused whimsy : ) pg.1
So, I’m starting an art journal and here is the first page! Does anyone else do something similar? Sketchbooks are my favorite because I love to see the thought process that goes into making a piece of art… I’d love to see what you’ve done!
.( oh, so lovely ).

Something non-traditional
So, if you haven’t noticed I love things that are non-traditional. Originally, I had been planning our wedding somewhat around the available flowers, but then it dawned on me. Who says I have to have fresh flowers? Sure, I will have some flowers, but what if the bridesmaids carried something else down the aisle?
Here are some of the things I thought about:
.(lollipops).
.(balloons).
.(umbrellas).
.(pinwheels).
.(fabric flowers).
.(paper Flowers).
.(flowers made from sewing patterns).
What else? Any other ideas on something unique the bridesmaids could carry down the aisle?
No. 4 vs. No. 6
So, this is kind of how I want my bridesmaids dress combination to look! I found all of these dresses at Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and jcrew. Lovely colors, huh? Of course I won’t have 11 bridesmaids, but this gives you a pretty good idea of what I’m looking for.
So these would be the main colors for invitations and other such things… what do you think? Do you see another color combo you like better?
VS:
And these would be the main colors:
I love both… I think I might be leaning a little bit more towards the first one. But I just can’t get away from how lovely the second one would be with a vintage circus theme. Any thoughts?
choices, choices, choices…
Okay, so I’m not officially engaged yet, but I’m getting close! I’ve been bouncing around all kinds of ideas and I need your help! Kennie and I just found THE PLACE. The place we’ll be having the wedding I mean. And let me say…. it is GORGEOUS! So, now that I can visualize it… let the planning begin!
A few things we know for sure:
- It’s going to be an outside wedding
- Happening in MAY
- Ceremony will take place in the evening
- The more unique the better!
- My brides maids will all wear different dresses of which THEY will choose themselves (as long as it goes with my color palette) Which is what you see directly under the chosen images. “Potential bridesmaids dress colors” simply mean these are the colors the have to choose from.
And the rest is still up in the air… which is why I need your help!
So I’m dabbling with the idea of having a circus/carnival themed wedding. Not over done, but I think it could just be so charming. I want it to be one big party! Nothing formal or stressful or perfect… just a big celebration!
Here a few circus/carnival weddings I’ve found:
Otherwise just something lovely, quirky, stylish, and unique… all in one. haha
Here a few visuals when it comes to color palettes:
Which one of these is your favorite?
