Real Estate

I received a call from a real estate agent this week  who will be selling a loft in a great location;  his clients had painted the back of their pull-out Murphy bed with chalkboard paint and he thought it would serve them well if it was chalked up professionally!

Purple purple

The colour purple is steeped in rich history.  Long associated with royalty,  it was one of the most difficult natural dyes to obtain to colour fabric.  In Ancient Rome,  laws decreed that purple cloth could only be worn by the emperor.   In 532 AD, The Byzantine Empress Theodora is quoted as stating, “May I never exist without this purple robe and may I never live to see the day on which those who meet me shall not address me as ‘Queen’.”

Canada Post issued a special commemorative purple stamp for Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee.  Coupled with deep purple ink, it makes for the perfect piece of mail!

Monograms

I love designing monograms.  The process entails creating two letters and then entwining or connecting them in a visually compelling way.  My own monogram (R and S) appears here (to the left…to the left…).

This monogram, which I just finished, will be the logo for a local photography studio.  The initials are M and F.
