Sew Intriguing

Sort of amazed by this work by Diem Chau. A whimiscal combination of silk thread and common ceramic and porcelain pieces makes me quite curious about the exact methods of creation. None the less the illustrative qualities of the embroidery paired with the commonalities of plates and tea cups creates a delightful narrative about, perhaps, the memories and characters behind these simple eating receptacles.

Fa la la la! Life is Good.

Hello world,
Life is good. I am done with school at the end of this week, an official education in graphic design. Woot! The summer is looking grand with a week long beach house trip, a 2 week excursion to France (Paris and Provence) and Spain (Barcelona), a wedding in Spokane, WA for a lovely couple and diving into a career as a designer.
It's drizzling and cold here today, but the garden is looking amazing. I'd thought I'd share a spring time illustration to brighten your day.

Xoxo, Jen

Holga Time

Here are some shots I took from a recent Holga workshop Kyle and I took with Specialty Color Services in Santa Barbara one Saturday. You can visit their website here http://www.colorservices.com/. It was a fun adventure, and although my pics weren't outstanding, it was fun to experiment with the plastic film camera. The film was then processed using a unique combo of coffee, vitamin C and some soda ash. Pretty cool.

One of the coolest things about Holgas, at least to me, is the ability to double expose. You get a glimpse of that in some of my photos above. I haven't quite figured out the technique, but maybe that's the fun of it all.

Notebook Doodle Series II

Notebook Doodle Series

I was inspired to create a series of blog posts based on my notebook doodles when my friend Nicki took an iPhone snapshot of one of my scribbles during web design, and instantaneously uploaded it to Facebook. Sooooo here we go.

My dear friends Matt and Erica were married this past Saturday. As a way to show them the love, I made them a painting for their wedding gift. White tulips are Erica's favorite flower and were used in the wedding bouquets.

So, to Erica and Matt! I love you guys mucho and wish you the most amazing and fulfilling marriage life can offer.

PS: Have fun getting tan in the Caribbean! (I'm so jealous.)
