One of my best friends, Nia, got “unofficially” engaged a little over a month ago (YAY!), and while on The Scoop, I was reminded of these adorable button bouquets I saw at a card shop recently. Nia is a fashion designer and I think would be perfect for her wedding day! (I will say, the one’s found on The Scoop, made by Princess Lasertron, are much more well-crafted and creative than the one I took a picture of.) So cute!!

Here’s the full, first series, as mentioned last week. Picking 4 cities we plan to visit in the near future, I made little 3″ x 4 1/2″ watercolor paintings of each. I shall do more soon; Lord nows there are a number more cities on this list!

Just a little project I’ve been working on. The above is a painting of the Sensō-ji Temple in Tokyo, Japan. This weekend is a travel one, so I shall post pictures of the completed pieces next week. Have a fabulous weekend! <3

It’s Sunday, and we’re enjoying it indoors.
I modified a clock I got, decorating it with the lovely “Say it With Flowers” paper I fancy so much (and have used previously). Also, I finally spray-painted our shoe/magazine/key holder and now it really looks like the Diesel setup.

I had an impulse to one more for my watercolor bird series and I wanted something pink this time! I had to do a little rearranging, but they fit together quite nicely now.

Jack is out of town for the weekend and I’ve been busying myself around the apartment. I moved the bookcase and cleaned it out to make room for my computer, since this will now be my new computer place. I also made this brief map project for myself (based on the Keep Calm Ltd “Make Your Own Path” poster). You can see WIP below.

So, the series is complete, for now, and I couldn’t be happier with how they all turned out! They are all sitting pretty in our front room, which I hope to get pictures of this weekend, once I have time to finish up on spring cleaning.
The last of this series was the falcon, which I’m dedicating to Jack. <3 Here are some detail shots:

Dishes perfectly matched to our cardboard furniture.
Entered in designboom’s Dining in 2015 design contest, the idea is simple: when you’re having a party, pick up a handful of “sheets” of cups and bowls at your local market, fold, and enjoy. Presumably, the paper would be recyclable when you’re done drinking punch or eating pasta salad.
