Patterns + Florals + Prettiness

I had a productive weekend spent creating a Valentine’s Day collage commission. (This dude should definitely get the Boyfriend Of The Year award. What a sweet and thoughtful gift!) His requirements for this personalized collage were a specific quote – which I’ll share when I reveal the final piece – and “patterns and florals and prettiness”.

Yup. I can totally do that.

I used silverleaf to highlight a few areas, and I’m super thrilled with the result. Now I will SILVERLEAF ALL THE THINGS. Here are a couple of shots of the creative process – finalizing my materials selection above, and planning the layout below.

I share a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff on Instagram, so be sure to follow me there to see more. Also, I’m currently taking commissions for custom collage art so please contact me if you’re interested. It makes a pretty kickass gift, if I do say so myself.

Happy Monday!
