It's a Cakewalk!

This summer I was asked by a friend of mine to design
a logo as she begins her own communications firm.

I was really honored to have her ask me.

Deborah was brilliant to work with and
knew exactly what she wanted.

 I enjoyed researching and creating the artwork. 
Lastly, I am thrilled that she is pleased
with how it all turned out!

 

Here's a collage showing the front of the business card as well as images

of some fabulous items that were made especially for the launch party -

cookies with QR code, beer glasses and cupcakes with the Cakewalk logo! 

 

I was also asked to create artwork to give as favors

to those attending the launch party.

 The idea was to make small pieces of art.

And if anyone had a favorite quote, I illustrated theirs.

 I can't tell you how much fun I had doing this!

I am not the most outgoing person at parties so this

was a super way to spark a conversation with other party-goers.

I created a collage of some of the pieces I made.

I didn't get a good shot of them all, and one or two

I completely forgot to photograph! (too much wine!) 

However, below are most of them:

 

I got a kick out of some of the quotes that people came up with! 

What a terrific experience this has all been.

 

I'll be back posting again soon. This has been a busy summer.

I'll be off this week on vacation and hoping to catch

up on visiting blogs and creating some artwork.

I've been working mostly in my little Moleskine books.

 

Thanks for stopping by and for visiting.

I love getting your comments :)

Thanks for leaving such lovely notes!
Take care, Fran T xo

 

 

Posting here and there

 hello! Happy Saturday to you. I'm busy with posting things to my shop, then twittering about it and eventually will FB as well. It's a process but a fun one at that. I've been painting. I sneaked this flower in right before it died, that ranunculus was hardy, lasted almost as long as the mum flower did in my bouquet. I took photos and worked off of that to get this:

I love the green in this flower, and I wanted to really emphasize that.
It is such a good color contrast against the pink petals on this flower head.





I added in the name as well,

I probably should include the Latin spelling as well, just thought of that!

 

Today I worked on finishing up some lettering I did with my Copic marker. I have just one, a 02, because I wanted to try it out as I usually use the Microns [which I just love]. I read this in a magazine and thought it would be fun to do:

 

 

Lastly I just wanted to share some more felt fun, last weekend I worked on the felt pieces below, AND my crafty neice worked on one too! Em's is the Dream pillow. She designed that and executed it so well! don't you think?

 

Take care and I will try to post again sooner this time!

Enjoy your weekend and remember to SPRING forward an hour tonight.

Be well,
