Recently my best friend got married. It was a day of incredible joy, love and laughter. It was also, for me, a joyous exercise in lending my designing hands to my friend’s special day. The bride had found an example of an illustrated guide to a bridal party on Pinterest, and asked if I could […]

Here’s the final bits of the juicy paper fruits. Couldn’t actually decide which way I liked it best, so options are below: A little outline: A little more outline: Fully outlined: Cropped outside:

Every website you look at has different dimensions suggested, so I’m hoping that having a nice tiled photo collage will work out. Below are some options so far. Tube […]
