Published! Crafty Mag UK

This past summer, Crafty Magazine UK asked me to write & photograph a DIY article on bokeh photography. They specifically wanted a step by step on making a hood to place over your lens and examples using it. Plus a written article on why bokeh photography is so kick-ass and popular. :) 

The goal was to turn twinkly lights into cute hearts and stars. I created my own lens hood and tested it out on everything! I used it to shoot sparkly lights around my house, I turned my newborn baby boy into an angel and surrounded him with blissful hearts, and I went to my favorite part of Los Angeles to found what bling I could to transform into shapes.

I was so honored to be asked especially since this magazine is simply GORGEOUS!! The article was published in Issue #7 which came out this month. I just got my copy in the mail today and I am so impressed with this beautifully designed magazine. And they have the coolest projects, I would love to try several of them out! It's not too late to get your copy, there is even a Holiday supplement with the sweetest Christmas projects. 

This was such a fun article to shoot and write! Thanks a bunch Crafty Mag! :)

101 woonideeen!

I just got my copy of the June/July issue of the Dutch magazine, 101 woonideeen! A few months ago there was a call for submissions to be in their Etsy supplement and I submitted my print "Surge". There were only 40 spots so I thought for sure I wouldn't get selected. But to my surprise they chose it! And they were kind enough to send a copy to all of us that were printed in the cute little booklet.
This magazine is gorgeous btw, I only wish I could read it so I could be inspired by their wonderful ideas!

And I have already had a super sweet buyer from the Netherlands who said they found my shop through the magazine. Happy Monday indeed! :)
