custom folio inspired by field theories

a few weeks ago my sister called asking if i would make a leather portfolio for her manuscript. she sent me dimensions, a few sketched ideas & i pulled inspiration from field theories' beautiful works.

so here it is, in all its handcrafted glory. it feels so good to work with your hands; it forces you to pull away to create something tangible & brings something quite lovely into being.

and i think she's going to like it.

eggs for jesus

i was a little girl in my parents' farmhouse the last time i dyed eggs. they would set me and my sister down with this sweet rendition of jesus' easter story, which looking back was a fantastic way to acknowledge the season with wee babes.

two of my favorite egg displays for this easter comes from dreamy whites and a daily something.
this will be my second easter with husband & i'm so excited to instill these little traditions into our lives.

good things

i've started a project with my sister who's living in colorado. she needs me to handcraft a portfolio similar to this kickyouinthethroatfantastic job by field theories. one day i'd like an original for my own work. (who wouldn't yeah?)

here are some other projects i'm eyeing:

these terraniums (so that vertical garden... i can't kill that.)
something to light up our patio on balmy summer nights
a cheeky update for our apartment using this or this
and something to label herbs by when pottering around

enjoy your creative outlets friends. and sit out in the sun.
