Australian Love Le Cupcake

Absolutely Beautiful Things

For some reason Australia keeps popping up in my life. I think I need to go there and nature walk, swim, surf, and….eat cupcakes.

When my mom and I were planning my wedding cupcake tree I did a Flickr hunt and found the most stunning cupcakes in the world. I’ve been following Kylie Lambert’s stream since, hankering after the beautiful photos…or…rather the subject of them.

Anna Spiro of the wonderful interior design blog Absolutely Beautiful Things ordered a print from me after getting a heads up on my work from her friend. She even forgave me when the print got lost en route to Australia. So I had to resend it (all in all making it 7 weeks late!). Ever since then I’ve been an avid reader of her beautiful blog. I just need 3-5 more rooms in my little apt. to decorate with Anna’s brilliant advice.

I made you a free downloadable Easter Card.

Easter card

It’s with my other free cards on flickr. I changed the name of the collection from “Free Valentine’s Cards” to “Free Art Cards” so that I can make more for other occassions and holidays. This one is the first in the bunch. Feel free to download and send to friends or print, and send (it’s 5X7) snail mail.

Hope you like! Happy Spring. Happy chocolate egg hunting.
xox,
Sam

**I just saw feeds coming in from Craft, Natalie of Craft and Coquette posted the card!! Yippee. I adore both.

Skinny La Minx

Heather of the fabulous Skinny LaMinx blog does everything. She designs beautiful textiles for her own etsy shop (I want the tea towels and pillow above). She also blogs on Elle Decor SA. To top it all off she’s an illustrator. A regular ol’ Renaissance woman. If you are not already subscribed to Skinny La Minx, you should really check it out. Also, I have an insider tip that she’ll be adding a new tea towel design to her shop today, Thursday! Act fast and check it out!

On another note:

new prints
Holly of the famous Decor8 was nice enough to post my patterns with an open call to her readers to weigh in on the surface and pattern design industry. Their comments were so helpful. I have to go out now and buy like 20 books and I also have to keep working on my designs and perhaps seek out a rep. Who knows. It’ll be a long and interesting hall. Holly is so amazing. It’s bloggers like her that make an art/design community…that’s what it’s all about in my opinion. Here are a couple of designs I just made.

The Principles of Uncertainty by Maira Kalman. Plus, My new patterns.

Maira Kalman

Not long ago I posted my admiration of Maira Kalman’s work for the Strunk and White book: Elements of Style. Kalman has a new book out called The Principles of Uncertainty. I want to get it.

Perhaps I’ll order it from Amazon. You can too (hence the link).

I created a new Flickr collection for the patterns I’ve been working on. Here it is. Thank you so much Erin and Anna for the feedback so far, it’s so so valuable to me and so nice of you to give. Both Erin and Anna liked this one the best:
