It was a busy busy amazing past week. We have been finishing off wedding invites, binding zine No2, making alphabet cards for the pop-up shop and gathering DP treats for the COFA spring fair. WHOA....I feel I can finally BREATHE!

Our spring blossom cards and alphabet palm cards had their debut at the spring fair and the pop-up shop. Thanks for all the visits!

the sign the sign the sign!





I was lucky enough to have sweetness supply pastel coloured marshmallow treats for my opening. In exchange I created an artwork and a font to be used for a 'larder' shelf sign and price tags for the store...(hand painted watercolour onto 850gsm paper) here is a sneak peak!



This is our first attempt in creating a font. I hand wrote the letters and Taka used 'font forge' to develop them...we will soon use this font on the yumitakahashi.com.au web page.


p.s. for those who don't know what a 'larder' is(I didn't know at first!), it is a large cupboard for storing food!
