New and Improved Packaging/Branding

New and improved branding and packaging materials for Etsy. You’ll get one in every order. I don’t know about you but I don’t think there’s anything more exciting than waiting for a box of new stickers to arrive! Thanks to the hubby for putting up with my design requests. I think they came out pretty sweet though.

BONjour Enamel Jewelry Now Live

New BONjour enamel pendants up in the shop with your choice of gold plated chain or cotton bakers twine. Also, check out the enamel pin version as well! Comes in red, navy or white enamel on a polished gold background. Each pendant is etched and hand filled with vitreous enamel color. It is then fired in a kiln to harden the enamel and hand polished to a mirrored finish. Comes packaged on a miniature wooden clipboard or wooden gift tag with hand printed letterpress tag and wrapped in a striped paper envelope.

I’m totally geeking out seeing my designs in metal & I really want to do more. Which design should be next?

New Website and Branding!

One of the perks of marrying a talented graphic designer! It’s been about 3 years and it’s time for an update. Thanks to WordPress we got pretty much the whole re-design done in one night!

For the branding, I decided to do custom hand-drawn type. You can check out my sketches above. I’ve been digging more vintage type and have been trying to incorporate it into some of my tees and projects. I definitely take inspiration from one of my favorite books “Custom Lettering of the 60s and 70s” by Rian Hughes. I also illustrated a hand logo but not sure where I’ll be using it yet. It might make a cool tee though!
