Invite inspiration

Recently I have been working on a friend's wedding invitation, and hope to do lots more in the future. I have alway been a lover of stationery- remember getting all the new stuff for going back to school!!
There will be some Birds&Words stationery in the offing soon, just getting my head around the manufacturing process!!
For now here are some invites I have been drooling over for inspiration. First ones featured here on Mamas Sauce blog, I wish I lived in Florida and worked in this print shop.... it just looks too cool and their ethos is right up my street.
Second images are by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co. Again I'm a big fan of her work and how her business has developed.











New Work

Hi all.
Have been working on a new body of work lately, which involves inking up and photographing the beautiful letterpress blocks I have access to use.
I think they look more exciting than the prints sometimes!
So watch this space for the work to develop, meanwhile, here's a little peek at the process.....I'm quite excited!

The Gorgeous Lottie


This week I finally got to meet my dearest friend's new baby daughter. Her name is Lottie and she is 8 months old and terribly cute.
Mummy Anna is over visiting for a short while from Australia, so has a lot to pack into her trip. I was very privileged to spend a couple of days with the pair at Anna's mums house in Co.Armagh. The house is absolutely beautiful, fairly newly built, but seems like it's been there forever.
It felt like a mini break and it was brilliant to spend some long awaited time with Anna and find out how she is coping with motherhood!
Just very sad to say goodbye....:-(
