Graphic Design with a Vintage Flair
Last week we were supposed to receive a foot of snow but didn't. I must have laughed a little too loud, Mother Nature overheard. Last night we received around ten inches. This isn't a ton, but when it's wet and heavy, it literally feels like a ton on a snow shovel. It helped with getting … Continue reading Butterfly Invoice Paper
With 2019 coming to an end in a few days, I have been slowly replacing my holiday decorations with a neutral winter tone. When I came across some castle drawings, I thought this would be a perfect piece to add to a frame that is changed out with the season. It can also be used … Continue reading Castle Paper

The only repair made was the color, I decided to leave the torn … Continue reading Black Cat Graphic from 1876
Yesterday I was on the hunt for any hint of a flowering anything. Even though nothing was blooming, I saw buds on the lilac, soft trees, and green leaves popping in the gardens. Finally the iris and lily leaves are poking through the ground. I'm hoping my roses and sweet peas made it through the … Continue reading Free Botanical Graphic
Originally, I was going to post about doodling and my favorite artist pens by Faber-Castell. Then, I ran across this Blue Pincushion (Brunonia australis) from an 1840 gardening magazine. The star shaped petals add so much texture to the drawing and I love the color. Some of the leaves had to be restored because of … Continue reading Botanical Paper
