3. Wedding Card for Ariane

A wedding card I made for Ariane to give to her sister the bride :)

My instructions were to include the couple, two geese, a cat & chicks, and to make it colorful & fun. So to prevent it from being too cramped, I spread the illustration all the way to the back :) Tada!

I'm slowly getting through all my painting custom orders... please have patience if you're still waiting. There's quite the queue! I'm averaging one a day. Not too shabby imo.

11. This Little Piggy...

JacketFlap tags: pig, plush, custom order, Add a tag

was very hungry. One could even say he was hankry.

So he visited the only girl he knew who could help him.

She fed him with the softest polyfil one could purchase at Michael's, and had him drink the finest teas in all of Manzanita St.

Feeling sufficiently full, he basked in the sunlight and admired the crawling ants on the grapevines & hard working architects, graphic designers & screenwriters in the house.

Surprised by the heat wave in the middle of November (c'mon LA!?), he fell asleep in the hammock and dreamt about flying.

14. Mission Accomplished!

So, the story behind Dulce.

A mister approached me with a project. He and his wife recently married and moved into a place that doesn't allow doggies, which meant no Dulce. To bring a smile to his wife's face, he commissioned me to sew a life-size version of their dog. Package received with open arms.

He tells me she cuddles with the dog more than with him! Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever heard? I'm so happy & grateful play a small tiny part in it :)

20. Rock The Bells: Crafting & dancing with Dulce & the crew

By: genevieve, on 8/23/2010

Hands down the most epic hip hop show I'd ever been to. Snoop Dogg, Warren G, Rakim, Tribe, Wu-tang, Murs & 9th Wonder, KRS-One.... Yeaaaaaahhhhhh. My way of pre-partying?

Sushi, green tea, miso soup, salad and jotting down my to do list! Hahaha. I've been so work-minded that I knew I needed to decompress before the show to really enjoy it. So that's what I did.

I managed to find street parking (yay!) and walked behind these find jesus-loving folk. Everyone loves hip hop.

Afshin, Shaila and Afshin's cousin were late so I saw Rakim & KRS-One on my own, lost in the crowd, sewing to the words & beats, sketching neighboring listeners.

There's a picture of me somewhere dancing to Tribe AND sewing. I'll have to bug Shaila for that one haha.

Just broin' out. No big deal.

21. Work Day at the Beach: Progress on the Life-Size Doggy

By: genevieve, on 8/22/2010

JacketFlap tags: dog, beach, custom order, capitola, Add a tag

I was supposed to go to SF Saturday to see friends and eat delicious food, but I stayed behind to be responsible and work on the custom order dog. This change of plans turned out to be an awesome decision. Adam suggested the beach since it'd be gorgeous out, so off we went to Capitola.

My aunt gave me a mini sewing machine she inherited from her husband's great aunt. Not only is it mini, it's battery operated. It even has a foot pedal! I'd declare it a win except for the fact that I couldn't get it to work... wah wah. So it just stood there looking cute.

Having Adam around was helpful as he also thinks in the third dimension. We nerdily discussed how to approach construction of the head. I didn't quite figure it out until we serendipitously stumbled upon a neighborhood build-a-bear. The salesperson was soooo helpful, handing me unstuffed dogs and bears to examine and flip inside-out. Universe, you're so cool.
