This week I just chose random black and white pictures what catched my eye but at the end they made a really nice an meaningful mosaic.

The first picture with the sailing boat is made on the beach I spent all my summer holidays as a kid.

The second is a self portait of Miss Bunny, a wonderful English artists.

The third is just a great photo I found.

And the last one I think just speaks for itself :)

Customer appreciation

I've been thinking a lot lately how can I add a little something extra to my packages, a little freebee or something to send to my buyers with their purchase and make them a little more happy when they open the envelope.

Finally I decided that I will order magnets with my tulip logo. After long research on etsy I found the coolest magnet seller ever, Ali, alias Buttonhead. Not only she makes really funny and cool magnets, buttons, but she will fulfill all of your wishes (we are talking customized buttons and magnets people!) helps you with your logo, gives little helping tips etc.
She is also a member of the Indie 5 Collective on youtube, you can find more then 200 very helpful videos for etsy sellers, cool tutorials or just very funny ones like this about esty addiction HERE.

And back to my little customer appreciation project, I made little sachets out of unbleached cotton, added my logo with transfer paper, and put the magnets inside:

Audrey Hepburn and my flickr favorites

Last week the theme of the weekly EST challenge was Audrey Hepburn. I chose her famous black and white outfit from the movie My Fair Lady as an inspiration, and I made a lovely fabric cuff. I used a silk embroidered white lightweight fabric and a black satin ribbon with floral motives.

And because it's Tuesday, of course my flickr favorites, to balance the elegant black and white I chose bright colors this time:

1. Untitled, 2. the field - fore !, 3. Mass Ascension Balloons, 4. Ladybug on a peony 2
