Robert Ryan Paper Cutting

I’ve been admiring the art of paper cutting lately. I’m beginning the week with this inspiring and awesome paper cutting artist from London, Robert Ryan. His typographic style is very unique. I love how he works with paper cutting art and also moves to lots of different directions (like screen printing) with it. His portfolio website is currently under construction but he has a blog and an etsy shop.

Saelee Oh’s Illustration

New artist crush! :) Saelee Oh’s works has that lovely charm. Looking at her illustration, I felt like being taken to a dreamy fairytale world somewhere. I love her color palettes. I especially adore the way she combines illustrating and paper cutting art. I am a fan.

Looking at works from talented artists like her makes me want to take an illustration class. :)

These ones are from her recent solo exhibition called “Tangled Tales“.

Business Penmanship

Ale Paul, one of the most brilliant type designer ever, just came up with a new lovely script font exclusively for Veer. It’s just so, so lovely, delicate and charming. Click here to watch slide show of the applications in form of love letters, titled “Wish You Were Here”. So sweet!

Custom Wedding Dress by Leanne Marshall

As I mentioned before in a post, one of my favorite fashion designer (probably, ever) is Leanne Marshall. I rarely describe something like this, but her style is simply just perfection to my taste.This has been posted on her blog since December, but since I was MIA from the computer a lot last month, I just saw this yesterday.

I was gasping in awe when I saw this custom wedding dress she did for a patron. It might just be the most stunning wedding dress I have ever seen. Ever.

Wedding Wednesday: Jeff + Jessica

It’s been a while since we have a Wedding Wednesday in this blog. I promise you, you’ll love this one. Do you remember these fabric invitations we did for Jeff & Jessica’s wedding last Fall?

Well, I was such at joy today to find out that Josh McCullock, the photographer of the big day, has posted tons of photos on his blog of the actual wedding day. Jessica was a friend of mine and it was such a bummer that I couldn’t come to the big day, but Josh did such a wonderful job capturing the day!

Jessica looks so pretty! The birdcage veil and the feathery hair accessories looks amazing on her.

She also mostly DIY the decorations. Don’t you love the old photos hung on tree bark? And of course the mason jar. Looks so lovely and really fits the vintage-barn wedding theme!

The ring-bearer also held responsible bearing a wagon filled with baby flower girls. How cute is that?! The ceremony takes place outside the barn.

Love this “tree lighting” inside the barn, which is where the reception was held. The color combination is one of my favorites! We actually did some labels too for their food buffet with matching design to their invitation. Wish I could show them to you!

Fluterry loveliness

Is it spring already? My cold shivering feet certainly don’t think so. But I just can’t resist to post these fluttery loveliness. The white porcelain with outlined illustration is so pretty. The butterfly that hides beneath the cup looks like a gentle spring peeking out of a white winter to me. Such a nice little surprise!

Light of Days

As if keeping one blog is not consuming my time enough, I’ve decided to take on another project. Since the end of last year, I’ve been contemplating on doing “something-a-day” project to challenge myself creatively everyday. I promise you it was not because I watched Julie and Julia :)

So, at the end of December 2009, I was writing down my 2010 resolution and as a devout (trying to!) Christian, one of my high-priority resolution was to spend more time reading the Bible. I thought that I could probably combine it with my attempt on doing “something-a-day” project.

So today, I present to you: Light of Days.

It’s a project that tackles my discipline, spiritual maturity, and creativity, all at the same time. I’m interested to see how it all coming to be at the end of 2010! I hope you are following my journey :)

2010 means a lot for me. It’s a year of second chance, a year for me to get up, a year of lots of hard work, and a year to shine brighter. Here’s to a greater year ahead! Happy New Year, all!

Have a Sweet Christmas, you :)

This year, I participated on Brooklyn Bride’s Card Swap and here is what I came up with.

At the time, I was just doing a major furniture re-arrangement and decorating overhaul in my apartment and it was such a hectic time, especially with my friend’s visit. I couldn’t find my baker’s twine so I had to send the actual cards using jute twine instead. Anyways… this was such a quick, short, and definitely sweet project that I totally enjoy!

Hope you enjoy your Christmas Eve. Have a sweet one!
