Here's my little Bonbon Valentine...it might come into your inbox today:
This week I've been doing more graphic design than jewelry design--it's become as integral to what I do as the jewelry or so it seems. I just do pretty simple things--nothing too complex but have been teaching myself photoshop, indesign and illustrator over the last three years and finally feel in a place where I can get things done a little faster, although I still have a million questions about how to do certain things (right Heidi, right Jen, right Kaelea?). I wish I had more scrolls and cool fonts and stuff to play with but in the meantime, here are a few little sponsor spots(!) hot off the..uh...computer for sweet Traci's Bliss:
And here's the back of my postcard which has to go to the printer today. I'm still choosing the front and I think instead of doing a lookbook, I'll do a collection of different postcards and pack them in a pretty glassine envelope, tied with a pretty string and maybe a feather....the name of the new collection is Fleuri d'Hiver or "Blossoms of Winter" (...or Blossoming Winter...)This week I've been doing more graphic design than jewelry design--it's become as integral to what I do as the jewelry or so it seems.

Your work looks good! It amazes me how much we need to know computer skills/graphic design these days.
Your sponsor spots will be perfect on Bliss!
you are a fabulous branding machine!
Amy's photos are so beautiful. I just love your new collection!! I already said it in the post below, but really there are some very tempting pieces. I have just purchased a mac book Pro and I am trying to learn photoshop!! That will be a long journey, sigh!
your designs look great deb...jeez. but, you should search for some different brushes for photoshop to add to the ones that it already comes with...that is how i designed my banner...though you may already know these things.
and i have been telling everyone i know about your line coming out in UO...yay!
looks faboo to me! -xoh
I love those little Bon Bon adverts! They're so colorful :)

I love these Deb! They are wonderful and just perfect! I think Marichelle and I will come by to visit you this Sat. and then, we can carry you off to P's! ( If you wish,that is)
