New Sketches {July 2013}

More ideas are flowin'.  

This calls for a photo dump! 

I'm super obsessed with this one.  Can you picture a giant canvas with this in a little (or big!) girl's room?  Your bathroom where you get ready everyday?  Your closet?  What a reminder that beauty is fleeting.  Start worrying about what's on the inside girls, because the outside isn't gonna last forever.  *steps off soapbox*


I've also been playing around with what some paintings would look like on a piece of wood. 

Mr. and Mrs. sign.  Would be neat over your bed or over the master bedroom door, no?

So, if you know me, you know that I'm a farmer's daughter.  I have a ridiculous amount of pride from being raised in a farm family.  I love my parents' farm.  I love the FFA.  And I cry like a big 'ole baby every time I see the "God made a farmer" video.  

I'm picturing this one in a kitchen or a farm themed boy's room or an office.  Or just making it for myself and hanging it in my house....in a subdivision....on an acre of land.  Fits, right? 


*sigh*  Fearfully and wonderfully made.   I see this one in nurseries a lot.  But it doesn't just have to be for a baby's room.  I'm 27 years old and I'm fearfully and wonderfully made too, am I not? 



As long as I'm actually having ideas, I'm going to keep sketching them out.  So send the orders my way so I can actually make these pieces in real life!!

**Any photos here are just sketches.  They can be made any way you want!  If you see an idea on a barn wood sign, but want it on a canvas, it can happen!  I can do any color you want, any fonts you want, any size you want (provided I can find it at a craft/wood store).  Just message me!

First Post.

Hey y'all!!  I'm SO ridiculously excited about this new creative venture.  I was feeling thoroughly uninspired by my old "Rustic Elegance" name.  It didn't fit, it didn't inspire me and I needed a blank slate.  Thanks to a few friends that let me bounce ideas off them before finally deciding on my new name.


*fanfare*

New name!  New logo!  New blog!  New etsy shop:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/28thandHudson --I don't have anything listed other than two reserved listings for people that have ordered through Facebook.  look for finished products soon when I have a chance to buy some canvases and get creative!

Speaking of getting creative, since coming up with a new name, my creative juices have been in overdrive.  I've spent most nights laying in bed sketching in my notebook.  Or I've gotten on the laptop and come up with ideas on my picture editing software.  Here's some of my doodles so far.


Already working on a real-life version of this one for an order.  Pumped!





Here's my newest brainchild.  I'm thinking about making a gallery wall in our master bedroom and making this painting with the address of our first home on it, made to look like a piece of mail.....complete with the date stamp of when we moved in.



I'm thinking this would look really cool with an old clock I have and couple of pictures.  If you've really been world travelers, or home hoppers, this would look really neat if you had several on one wall together, in my opinion!

Well, until next update!  I'm SO excited about this new adventure you guys.  Keep the orders coming!!
