love letters


L.O.V.E. is how i feel about every aspect of this project!
the color combination of pink and gold is making me so excited these days. there was a time when i loathed that combo -- thinking it so tacky and flashy and gaudy and garish (um, which really all mean the same thing, i know...). but now, i am feeling positively passionate about it! i've even gone and done my studio in pink and gold. something about the combo now feels so romantic and girly and extravagant -- evoking a spirit mixed with parts rococo and parts art nouveau.
so i love the color.
i love the texture of the embroidery floss on the metallic gold thread of the fabric.
and i love the font of the lettering.
um, yep. i'm a little happy with how this turned out.
love letters.







(i put them on etsy -- as the set or as individual custom-order letters)

thank you so much for the compliments! hooray hooray, i am happy to hear that others like them as much as i do. and thank you, chiara, for the sweet post on your blog - i am flattered. (and i hope that maybe it does inspire you to get out the embroidery materials one day sooner than later! yeah!)
