Another "Thank You" Project

I like adding a personal touch to my handmade cards. Here is a "thank-you" card I recently made with my lifestyle craft letterpress machine. My literal interpretation of "many thanks"!

 On the opposite side of this bronze card I will write a personal note.

I tucked my "many thanks" in a brown craft box. I re-purposed an old catalog to make a filler. The "filler" was make in my vitamix blender! I figured if it can chop-up an avocado pit, it could surely do paper. It worked perfect!

Wooly Wrapping

Another treat from White Barn Farm Sheep & Wool- natural, hand dyed wool roving! This beautiful wool doubles as the perfect ribbon to spice up any gift!
Start with natural kraft paper or even a brown-paper bag (re-purpose!), then use any fabric scrap you have & sew on a band for added contrast. Next, wrap around your roving (yarn scraps work great too!). Finish it off with a bow, or button (this button available at White Barn Farm, is sustainably harvested & made to support an impoverished village in Africa). This will be a treat for any knitting enthusiast!

Have you Any Wool?

Here is a t-shirt I designed for White Barn Farm Sheep & Wool a local farm/fiber/yarn shop in the Hudson Valley. Excuse the poor picture quality which doesn't give these super-soft organic cotton tee's justice. Silk screened locally by ANTILOGY screen printing. Stop by Paula's shop to get your tee, have some tea, and craft till your hearts content with other local artists.

BLINK- logo design

Blink, coming soon to Avon, CT, will be a cool, hip, open-mic venue for teens.
I was excited to do this project because I feel it is important for teens to have a fun & safe environment to express their talents. I hope the idea catches-on and more cities follow suit!

I can't wait for t-shirts, I want one!

Edgewood Consulting & Services

If you are looking for a personal guide to the most amazing views in the Hudson Valley, look to EDGEWOOD CONSULTING & SERVICES. Ekaterini's services extend to both the casual hiker & the larger business community. The photo above, taken by Ekaterini, is one of the many locations she can guide you or your group to!

Expressing both the "business" and "casual" side to Edgewood Consulting & Services, is what made this logo design a challenge; sophistication and approachability. Here are a few of the ideas I came up with. My fave is #2.

The votes came in and my client went with logo #4. We decided on adding the rough oval to gear more toward the individual or family hikers. The logo without the oval will be used on stationary and business correspondence.
