Birthday cards



These are currently sitting in General Delivery in a small town in North Carolina. The birthdays are Friday and Saturday, but I bet the birthday boy and birthday girl don’t see this before they pick up their birthday cards.

Each of these quotations are very apt for two of the youngest seniors I know.

A small Christmas commission

Just a little thing, but fun to do. It’s a private little song the client sings to her grandchildren, so I haven’t reproduced that here, but I can show the little pink and purple flowers I added in the left margin.

Meanwhile, I’ve begun working on a much bigger, very exciting commission that I expect will take a good while to complete. I’ll be sharing bits and pieces, although not the commission itself, in future posts.

Origami + Calligraphy

Last month I did some table cards to identify the food at a reception featuring Japanese and Chinese cuisine. I meant to take some photos before I let them go, but, as often happens, I forgot. So I was cleaning up the studio today and came across the remains of the project. These rejects show the Japanese and Chinese cards, respectively.
