JON AND I IN WATERCOLOR

I have been meaning to share this beautiful portrait with you for awhile! The way-too-talented-for-words Beca of Tales of a Tumbleweed did this piece for Jon and me. After seeing her beautiful portrait work for Katie and Amy, I knew I wanted to add her work to my portrait collection.

The following pictures were taken by Beca. My portrait is still in it's packaging in a corner of my room waiting for a frame and a new home. :) I have a lot of picture hanging plans when we make our big move in July. I can't wait to find a wall for this beautiful piece.

Thank you, Beca, for sharing your amazing talent with me! I LOVE how it turned out. :) You can check out Beca's blog here AND you should also take a look at her AMAZING wood veneer eyewear while you're at it. They are pretty. darn. snazzy. ;)

WE ARE CUTE

I mentioned in this post that I was starting a custom portrait collection of Jon and me, and eventually our kitties and future youngin's. ;) I've been admiring our sweet little paper dolls from Jordan and I can't wait to get a great frame for them and hang it up in our new place in August! :) A couple weeks ago, Victoria of Batzy Rockshop contacted me about doing a portrait of Jon and me. I took a look at her work and loved her quirky art style and beautiful portraits.

I sent her a few pictures of Jon and me to reference and she created the above digital portrait of us. I love it! It's adorable and definitely shows off our more rock-n-roll side. I'm planning to have it printed and framed to hang along with my paper dolls. My little collection is growing! Yeah!!

If you're looking for a custom portrait as a gift or for yourself, I definitely recommend checking out Victoria's shop and blog! She has fabulous style, is way talented AND her blog is a great read. ;)

Thank you, Victoria, for my beautiful piece of art!

I'M A PAPER DOLL!

A couple weeks ago, I commissioned Jordan Grace to make custom paper dolls of Jon and me to start my collection of custom portraits for our home. I have been in love with Jordan's work since I first met her last September. You might have seen my post about her here or here!

Yesterday, I received my package and was completely amazed and excited about her work. Her packaging was so put together and the little dolls represent Jon and me perfectly! They are so, so cute!! I love the dainty little details. :)

 

 

 

I'm planning to put these in a shadow box and hang them up in our new home when we move in August. :) Have you ever gotten a custom piece done? What are some of your favorite artists?? I'd love to hear your thoughts and add to my new collection!

Custom Stamp for MaieDae!

I've been working on getting things together for ICE-Atlanta, including coming up with some cute packaging when customers purchase goodies. :) I commissioned Kozue to make me a custom stamp for MaieDae and I just got the package in today!

Kozue was great to work with, super professional, and even suggested separating my logo into two pieces so I could use different colors and placements. She usually does portrait stamps (which are way amazing!) so I was excited she was willing to carve my logo. Now I just need to go buy some colored stamp pads!
