Oh geez, I'm woefully behind on everything lately...

I made a birthday card for my grandmother, a hand painted robin on stonehenge paper...you can't tell, but it's double sided and stitched along the bottom and open along the top to form a pocket to contain little birthday wishes :)



Also, Ken over at Boxed in Design was kind enough to ask me to answer a few questions - you can read about 'em here!

I made this card for my cousin's upcoming wedding, which I will be missing due to an upcoming month-long trip across America! Look forward to photos from the road.

Prototype

Attempting to create some sort of...greeting card. Makes a good "congratulations on your engagement" gift.

It is a double sided, stitch closed little envelope thing with a pull-out tongue. Though it kinda looks like a huge mouth dong. YOUR CALL!



I'm going to try out a couple different papers, make the lettering better, and make the stitching neater. And then...I will create an army!!!

It's a Trap!

A chilling vision of things to come...

Christmas tiiiime is here

So!

Here's the deal. I've been making Christmas cards for the last little while. They're all handmade and unique AND if you want a little holiday cheer in your life, e-mail me at irma.kniivila@gmail.com with your name and address, and I'll send you one!

Don't be shy, guys. There's a lot of them that need to be given away!

No tricks, only sweet, delicious treats

In order to raise money for our grad show, my good buddy Shauna Buck and I made up some handmade halloween treat bags. Each of them was handmade, using a combination of transferred illustrations and hand drawn detailing.

We made 20 all in total, and each one sold! Not only was it fun, but it was also rewarding. Satisfaction!
