Road Diaries.

it's strange that i cannot drive and yet i love being in cars.  maybe it was those endless road trips we took as kids or all the day dreaming i did out of bus windows that makes me adore blurring fields on the horizon.  Or maybe it is all the lonely houses that stare out with open eyes, exposed on the highway, that makes me feel a longing to cure some unidentified heart ache. honestly it's hard to pin down the exact reasons for my love of the road after all these years...there are just too many.
 i took these photos after a particularly heart breaking day.  i felt like the road and i were having a conversation...yes i realize this does sound a little silly, but it really did feel that way...
at points i could have sworn it was reflecting the emptiness of the day...
and other times it seemed to be trying to cheer me up with a quiet sunset.
it was an ever changing motion and i could have stayed there...moving forever....

kitten face stationery...

so in the spirit of experimenting i made some mini kitten face stationery last night! it was so much fun putting together the designs and packaging them up.  i am planning on taking some of these designs into an actual letterpress format and doing some more robust cards and stationery if i can get my act together.  i am really enjoying this type of design right now. there is nothing like having an idea and making it into an actual tangible object.  i am also giving away several packs of the stationery, all the details are up on the kitten face blog, make sure to check it out.
