Love Is In The Air ❤

There are lots of spring weddings right around the corner. I’ve been lucky enough to design a few for some fantastic couples. First up, Tiffany & Matt. I met Tiffany right after we moved to Portland. Strangely enough her wedding theme, down to the colors and all, was very very similar to mine! It was so fun to try to reinvent something that I was so close to. This time instead of the folk-art approach like we had for our wedding Tiff and Matt wanted a more elegant/classic design.

Fabric Flowers

Just started making some fabric flowers from leftover scraps. They are so easy and fun and cute. They can easily be attached to a bobby pin, alligator clip or headband for a great new accessory. I think this will be the perfect stocking stuffer for the ladies and girls in my life this holiday season.

Good News. Bad News.

The good news is: I’ve been swamped with work, design, and life…

Hopefully I’ll soon find a way to manage my spare seconds a little better in order to pop on here and post about said: work, design, and life….
In the meantime… enjoy this happy mashup of a recent tattoo design I created for my dear friend molly, accompanied by chevron..

♥My dear friend Molly recently asked me to design a bluebird for her. She’s been wanting to get one tattooed for a while and I was honored to get to do it. Check it out, doesn’t it look great on her wrist?

Everett Station Lofts Rooftop Party

David and I had the pleasure of participating in our buildings annual rooftop gallery show and party. I’ve been really drawn to using texture and pattern lately. The piece I created is titled Animal Instincts. Excuse the glare on the photo. This piece is for sale if you are so inclined!

Bite of Oregon

heidistanley — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 02:56:38 +0000

I had the opportunity to do a little more pro-bono work Special Olympics Oregon through Bite of Oregon this summer. Bite of Oregon is an annual food, wine, and beer festival on the Portland waterfront. There are Iron Chef competitions, fabulous fare and lots of amazing entertainment. Special Olympics asked me if I would create some designs to be showcased and sold at the event for t-shirts, tote bags and wine holders. It was a blast making the designs, but the ultimate reward was both being able to contribute to a great event in support of Special Olympics and seeing my designs hanging in the booth being sold! So exciting.
