Autumn/Winter collection
Hello lovelies!
I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the subtle autumn vibes popping out here and there. I really appreciate this time of the year, when the air becomes fresher and the leaves start changing colour. I’m not a big fan of summer, especially near the end, when everything looks dry and miserable…
As you might already know I was working this summer, painting, designing, packing to get everything in order for when I get back from my stay in France. The new collection is now out! Nothing fancy or too extravagant, six new greeting cards and the well loved calendar.
As always, I like releasing the winter products quite early on, as I know some people prefer to shop early in order to avoid the end of the year madness. I didn’t have time to create some wrapping paper as I hoped though. Maybe next year!
In the meantime I wanted to show you some of the illustrations I made for the new cards and the calendar.
From painting to greeting card. This illustration is called “The travellers”, inspired by the many geese I saw during my summer walks. Nothing particularly wintery, other than a simple palette of brown and blue. A celebration of the end of Autumn maybe, when Nature puts on its beautiful muted colours.
I enjoyed working with more vibrant colours too. On the left: these two foxes have enough pumpkin to see them through the whole winter!
On the right: the dinner, made for the calendar (November spread). I really enjoyed painting this sweet scene, and I’m glad I left the plain background (instead of a dark chocolate one, which was my initial thought).
The greeting card collection is growing…
The big day has arrived, the postman brought me two heavy parcels :)
I’m really happy with the cute little calendar, I hope you’ll like it too!
Delicate little wrens and comforting cosy things that were turned into a greeting card
New: I’m now offering two Winter card sets (of four) in the shop!
One of my favorite thing about Autumn is painting the traditional wooden slices. I enjoy taking the time to sketch, slowly thinking about the colour palettes and painting the slices. It’s a very soothing process, I always put lots of care in it (also painting and selling these one-of-a-kind pieces is one of my greatest pleasures). I haven’t started thinking about the winter edition yet, see below the tiny collection I painted last Spring (I usually paint two editions a year, one for Spring and one for Winter).
That’s it my dears, thank you for passing by. I hope you like the new collection as much as I liked designing it. It’s been a great joy, from the first clumsy sketches to the final stage of opening the parcels. I hope you’ll find some inspiring illustrated goodies to send to your loved ones, and bring some colours and joy in their letter box 💛
I wish you a fantastic Autumn,
C.
And remember to treat yourself with some cakes and chocolate :)
