Graphic 45 Finals!

My dear readers,

I am shocked and humbled once again by the acknowledgement of my art by my favorite paper company Graphic 45.  It was announced today that I made the finals for their 2013 Design Team!  Me, a self made mixed media gal who is really relatively new to doing this type of work, how crazy cool!  As a current designer at Alpha Stamps I have found this process to be a gift to my creative muse as I am continually challenged and inspired.  I would be blessed to represent Graphic 45 and I honestly feel honored to have made it this far. 

I wanted to post a few images that I submitted in my application as so many of you are stopping by to visit.  Thanks for your time, it is appreciated more than you will ever know!!! 

I have also added links if below you would like to see more of these projects.

Thanks again for all of your support and well wishes.  To those of you who are new you are welcome to subscribe as you see fit, I would love to have you.

Cheers,

Rhea

Graphic 45 Design Team Call Audition 2013

It occurred to me today to try and use some of the "luck of the Irish" of St Patrick's Day to assist in today's application for Graphic 45's current design team call.  I seriously love the products made by this company and I think it shows in my work.  In this post I will highlight a six of my favorite projects, with lots of Graphic 45 products to be seen. 



The letterbox tray above is one of the top posts on my blog and I have also seen it many times on Pinterest.  Here I used one of my favorite papers, Old Curiosity Shoppe.   I think Steampunk Debutante is my next runner up and it is the focal on the next two projects. 



This large mosaic piece hangs in my dining room and I really love it.  It was so hard at the time to use up all those cool gears, but now I get to enjoy them in my art every day.

The book below is another great piece.  Here I finished off all of my paper left over from the project above.  Inside the envelope book are lots of great tags and inserts. 

I would have to say that assemblage is probably my favorite medium to work in.  This next project is a very fun Halloween Assemblage piece that also gets lots of traffic here.  My Steampunk Apothecary employs a very nice collection of different Graphic 45 papers.  I used the Kraft Reflections, Old Curiosity Shoppe and Halloween in Wonderland.  Amazing how seamlessly they all work together.



It was hard to choose between two different Birdsong projects I have recently done. 







Since I could not decide on which one, I ended up choosing to include them both. 





Thank you as always for tuning in.  I hope the luck of the Irish is with you today too!

Cheers,

Rhea
