Heirloom Lace Perfection

6/29/2016

0 Comments

 
T H E R E ' S  nothing I love more than some good heirloom lace. So when I got the opportunity to paint this gorgeous dress worn by two spacial cousins for kindergarten graduation, I wondered why I had never painted something like this before?! The detail on the actual dress is unbelievably beautiful. There is no way I could have captured it's perfection... but I did my best! Translating a work of art like this dress into my own little work of art is my favorite thing to do!
Oh yeah, and not only did I get to paint this dress... but I got to paint it TWICE!! No two paintings are ever the same and I love the small differences these two hold. I can't pick a favorite!

Year in a Nutshell

H E Y Y Y Y ! ! !     It's been a while. I'm sorry for being MIA for so long, but the rest and quiet time was much needed. If there's anything I learned about pregnancy and being a new mom, it's that everyone's experience is completely different and that the best thing you can do is to tune out the world for a little while. Little Loren is now almost 4 months old and growing like a weed!!!! He learns something new every day and it is the biggest joy for me to watch him grow. I'm convinced that being a mom is the best thing that's ever happened to me- the love for this little baby is so overwhelming and beautiful. I've experienced a whole new world of inspiration and now that I'm rested and renewed, I'm fired up and ready to start painting, designing and working again!

Before y'all jump into my most current (and biggest!) project to date, I want to spend a little time on the things that happened during my hibernation (aka pregnancy). This Father's day marks a year of finding out that I was pregnant. I told Andrew on a lazy weekend at the lake. It was our little (big) secret and the fact that it was Father's Day weekend made it even more exciting for us to quietly celebrate our unexpected news.
