Hope you're all having a lovely holiday season!

Fall Things

Going through old books for inspiration, throwing glitter around...pretty standard.     I painted pumpkins this year instead of carving them, because I'm impatient and usually end up stabbing myself at least once. Also, the results are very pretty compared to my poor, rushed carving jobs. Especially in the sun!

Bits and pieces from the last couple of months. Hope you're all well!

I'm pretty excited to finally share this project that I've been working on for quite a while! I've made a little website and opened an ebay store to sell vintage in, to coincide with my with my wholesale business. Here are a few photos that I took to go along with it.

Planning out and shooting the lookbook was the best part - as I'd been wanting to have a shoot like this for a long time. I combined a bunch of my favorite things - like cat eye makeup, gold glitter (I did the shoes up myself - as I just haven't found the perfect ones yet in all my years of searching), and 35mm film, some of which was expired.

Model Marley of MIM and hair and makeup artist Caitlin were quite fun to work with, and really helped to bring all of my odd ideas together. I'm even more grateful to them as we shot on a cold December day in my unfinished shed, and there were no complaints!

Anyhow, more photos can be found here, along with more information should anyone be interested. I added a few items to the store last night, but more pieces from the lookbook will be available over the next few weeks.

I hope you're all well, and having a lovely week!

Postcards we're mailing of sky blue skies and oceans

Here is a commission that I just finished this past week. It's my second project surrounding a sort of "pirate" theme, but I had fun working on some different techniques and interpreting it slightly differently than I did a couple of years ago. I'd been wanting to do something with the "fishing lure" idea for a while too!
I hope that you're all having a nice weekend and start to the week!

Kelly watch the stars

I created some illustrations that feature pieces from Orla Kiely's F/W 2011 collection. They are to go on display and for sale alongside some of the actual line when it is sold at Audrey Grace Boutique. I stuck with the 1960's theme that always works so well for Orla Kiely. Honestly though, any excuse to incorporate the decade is good with me. I even had the chance to put the massive collection of 1960's hair and editorial photos that I seem to have accumulated over time to good use! Something that I'm sure I'll find many more occasions for in the future.

I hope that the weekend is off to a good start for you!
