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.

Kitten Face comes to life...

So i have decided to start a new side project, a blog called Kitten Face, which follows the everyday adventures of a little cat with a big imagination.

This all sprung from doing the sketchbook project and having to work around a consistent theme for an extended period of time.  I really enjoyed having a focus and a chance to develop all the ideas that were floating around my head.  It also helped me to learn more and refine some of my techniques and skills.

So after this positive experience, I thought that it might be a good idea to maintain some direction in my creative life.  I brainstormed some ideas and Kitten Face is what I came up with. The Kitten Face name has been up on my blog for awhile as a title over an old photograph, and I always thought that it would make a good character.  Then I noticed that a kitten-like character was emerging from all my sketchbook entries.  So I combined them, and voila.

I will certainly still be journaling here, as the song says 'wild horses couldn't drag me away' (such a great image).  I am thinking of Kitten Face as more of a secret world tucked away amidst the vast plains of the internet, full of tiny adventures waiting to be discovered.

working away when i should be sleeping...but had to try out some new things i learned today. this little one is a new character i am working on, who i am hoping to build a little world around...just something that has been rolling around my head for some time...hopefully will have it finished by the end of weekend...will just have to wait and see!
