<br />
I am excited to finally be able to share with you something that I have been working on over the past month. I decided to venture into designing wedding invitations and stationary, after a customer was looking for some Evening Invites where she wanted to have my Lilac Bloom design featured on. Here is a sample of what I put together which was Day/Evening invites with Rsvp's and Information Cards, as well as other day stationary for her such as place cards, table names - all named after different place in the Lake District. More photographs will follow...<br />
<br />
I enjoyed working on this so much and loved being a part of designing items for a brides big day and making sure it was all perfect and beautiful. This is a design service I am now offering - for Invites and Wedding Stationary. I am in the process of developing designs ready for it at the moment. So if anybody is interested or would like to see more of what I have done, or have any ideas please do get in touch, I would love to work with you!Louise Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05845395692222920492noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300448516316067549.post-81807725092588404322013-10-18T08:55:00.000+01:002013-10-18T09:08:36.127+01:00Pocket Mirror on EtsyMy Lilac Bloom pocket mirror design is now available on Etsy to buy.<br />
<br />
It is perfect as a gift, especially with christmas coming up, it would make a great stocking filler. It comes in a pretty organza bag tied with ribbon to make it that extra bit special, and would be lovely for a wedding gift or favour.<br />
<br />
I offer discounts on larger orders. You could also choose any other one of my pocket mirrors. Do get in touch with any ideas or requests.<br />

<br />
I loved some of the floral prints from the Milan fashion shows. Above from left: Dolce and Gabbana (first two) and Antonio Marras. I absolutely adored the whole Dolce and Gabbana collection, where delicate blossom tree florals in soft colours were combined with intricate silk appliqué on sheer fabrics and silks. The collection also used Roman reference prints - ancient greek architecture and lithographs in mono tone, sepia colours that were digitally printed and combined with floral imagery, blown up coin prints as well as Sicilian decoration. The Antonio Marras collection included sketchy, painterly prints, illustrative landscapes and traditional looking botanical engravings in subtle colours (my favourites) adorned across dresses in a large scale.<br />
<br />
<br />
Below are: Versace, Alberta Ferretti, and Just Cavalli. There was a mix of brightly coloured, collaged bold, photographic collaged blooms / garden floral prints of varying sizes and on light/dark coloured grounds. Alberta Ferretti was one of my personal favourites, with border scarf floral prints graduating in size with a folkloric feel. <br />

I am returning to pay some much needed attention to my blog. I have lots to update on of fairs, new things, my new venture to the wedding market, which has been really exciting for me. Here is a preview of some pocket mirrors that I did for a lovely wedding this weekend for the bride to give to her bridesmaids as gifts/ favours.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Firstly all of my designs always begin by drawing and painting. I mainly use my own photographs and the theme of traditional botanical illustrations to create my art works from. I like to use this traditional approach and technique, as it gives each piece individuality. For me beginning through this artistic approach feels an almost natural way to create an artwork and allows me to determine how I want it to look. It is important to me that my design collection has all been derived from original hand done work.</span> <br />

<span style="color: #444444; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">The media that I mainly use are; pencil, black fine liner
pen, mono-print and watercolours. Watercolours are my favourite media to work
with; I love the delicacy and fluidity of them, while I like how some elements
cannot be controlled and blend together unintentionally, creating surprising
effects that cannot be planned or controlled.</span></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Each piece I usually start by roughly sketching out the image
that I finalise by painting and drawing over. I will also begin by painting the
image straight on to the paper in a more expressive way, with no drawn image to
follow, or will draw freehand enabling me to get a more painterly, hand
rendered and expressive image.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #666666;">Once I have finished painting and drawing, I scan the
original artworks in to the computer and use CAD to continue to edit and
develop them further. I mainly use Photoshop and I firstly tidy up the artwork,
clearing unnecessary marks and background imperfections, so I have a clear
image to work with. I then begin to combine imagery and design elements together,
creating layers and experimenting with different effects. I create colour
palettes and change the colours to suit these and add background colour. Then I
make the designs in to repeats and patterns ready for printing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #666666;">The designs are digitally printed in the uk on to silk,
using modern print technology, which allows all the detail from
the original artworks to be captured and displayed becoming a way of combining my original artworks and prints with
fashion. The dreamy, painterly style works really well with the flowing,
delicate qualities of the silk. This printing process is much more
ecological than traditional printing techniques, creating less waste and damage
to the environment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Crimson Text'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Here are my latest designs I have been finishing for my freelance work directed toward the fashion market for Spring / Summer. The collection is combines delicate watercolour paintings intended to be feminine and romantic in muted hues inspired by vintage, country style. I wanted to emphasise the hand painted approach with layered placement prints highlighting brush stroke detailing, intricacy and paint fluidity in a subtle, faded colour palette.</span>Louise Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05845395692222920492noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300448516316067549.post-29416717049901262342012-11-27T16:52:00.002+00:002013-09-17T11:01:36.651+01:00Vintage Country House Design Collection<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
