:le swoon:
I can’t wait to see & hear the finished album. I know it’s going to be phenomenal.
Lovely Little Deer.

Stripmall Architecture & Heart Palpitations.
I’ve been hinting at a secret project in the works. Well, it’s time to share my wonderful news!!
I am VERY proud to announce that I am doing the album artwork for Stripmall Architecture’s upcoming album ‘Feathersongs for Factory Girls’ ! Not only is the idea of having my artwork on a cd cover amazing, but the fact that I have adored their music since I first heard them as Halou many years ago makes this all the more special to me. I can’t wait to hold the finished cd in my hands. Eeee!
Rebecca and Ryan have had several different projects-Halou, R/R Coseboom and now, Stripmall Architecture.
If you haven’t heard them before, I highly recommend you take a listen. Each project is a little different, but all are equally amazing. Below are a few of my favorite Halou tracks. Enjoy!
All my language slipped away.
Consumption.
I have wanted to order Mini Moo Cards for a year now. I finally took the plunge! (I know, I know..I’m a daredevil. 
) They arrived in the cutest packaging ever. I knew they were smaller than average business cards, but they were still a little smaller than I anticipated. I still love them and the fact that they fit perfectly in the gift boxes I send my necklace orders in. 
Dabbling in thread.
I’m one of those people who can hardly sit still. I often draw, write or even read while watching movies. Last night I decided to attempt some embroidery on some cross-stitching fabric I had laying around. Thanks to my mom I have tons of different shades of thread to work with. My next project will probably be a lot more colorful. It’s been about 12 years since I’ve really sat down and attempted anything of this nature, so I definitely consider it a practice run. Ta daaa.
For some reason, the backs are always my favorite.

I officially started selling my Art on Etsy, I consistently kept up with this Art & Inspiration blog (which is a miracle within itself), I’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the sweetest customers on the planet..I couldn’t feel more lucky! Thank you to everyone who supported my artistic endeavors. You’ve really inspired me to keep growing my business and up my game!
Some things to look out for in the coming months:
- An Art Project straight out of my Dreams. (Top Secret for now!)
- A Collaborative Rendezvous with Serpenthes.
- Girly T-Shirts featuring my Art.
- New Necklace Designs monthly.
- Seasonal Giveaways.
- Prettier & even more Magical Inspiration Posts.
- More Photos of my Daily Life & Where I Create.
- New Paper Goods.
- More Functional Blog and Shop.
- Much more!
I’m always open for suggestions. Have any ideas for posts? Is there a print you’ve been looking for? A piece you would love to see as a necklace? Want a custom drawing done? Anything you would love to see me incorporate into my next drawing?
Leave me a comment! I’d love to hear your input. xoxo
