Romeo and Juliet Wedding (Nunta in stil Romeo si Julieta)

Naturally, being a wedding invitation designer, I dream of weddings almost every day, each time trying to imagine places, decor, flowers, dresses, music, guests...
Today I am going to take you to Verona, to this wonderful place where Romeo and Juliet are said to have whispered love words to each other.


Evident, fiind designer de invitatii de nunta, visez in fiecare zi la cate o nunta. Imi imaginez locuri, decoruri, flori, rochii, muzica, oaspeti...
Azi va voi conduce la Verona, in acest loc minunat in care Romeo si Julieta isi spuneau soapte de iubire.

Don't you love this place? It would make a great painting reference too. And the local authorities are hiring it out as a wedding venue too.
Nu e minunat locul acesta? Si autoritatile locale il inchitriaza pentru nunti.


The wedding dress... how about this Vera Wang one?

And the invitations: Handmade by Meda.
Iar invitatiile: Handmade by Meda.




This is the invitation from which I got the whole Milady Collection idea.
Acesta este invitatia de la care a pornit intreaga idee a Colectiei Milady.



That rich plum color trim looks gorgeous against the beige invitation box. Much better than this picture shows. Movul acela inchis arata superb pe cutia beige (mult ai bine decat se vede in imagine).


While I was designing this invitation my head just popped with ideas and variations so I kept layering my materials and taking quick photos to record my ideas.
This is one of the possibilities for the inside.

Pe masura ce lucram la acest design ideile nu mai conteneau sa apra, asa ca le-am inregistrat rapid cu ajutorul aparatului de fotografiat. Aceasta este una dintre variantele pentru interior.

I would like to know what you think about this imaginary wedding. Would you go back in time a few hundred years for your wedding style? How do you imagine a Romeo and Juliet style wedding? What invitations would you send to your guests? I would really be delighted to meet someone who can design a Juliet wedding dress.

Mi-ar placea sa aud parerea voastra despre acesta nunta imaginara. V-ati intoarce in timp cateva sute de ani ca inspiratie pentru nunta voastra? Cum va imaginati o nunta in stil Romeo si Julieta? Ce invitatii ati trimite oaspetilor? As fi incantata sa cunosc pe cineva care poate crea o rochie de mireasa in stil Julieta.

Lil' Fall Sketchbook (Mini carnetel de toamna)

Seems like I am in bookbinding mode, right?

Here is another fall sketch book I made for a very good friend. It is quite small (7x7cm or 2 1/4") and uses the same materials as on this one (Core'dinations cardstock and Canson sketch paper). Cuttlebug folder: *Celtic Knot*, Scor-it board.

For a how to on the leaves check this post.


Se pare ca sunt pusa pe cusut carnetele in ultimul timp.

Acesta este foarte mic (7x7cm) si l-am daruit unei prietene. Am folosit aceleasi materiale ca aici, adica carton Core'dinations si hartie de schite Canson. Cuttlebug folder: *Celtic Knot*
Pentru explicatii despre cum sunt facute frunzele cititi aici.

Thanks Giving Journal (Jurnal de Multumire)

"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (King James Version)

"Mulţumiţi lui Dumnezeu pentru toate lucrurile; căci aceasta este voia lui Dumnezeu, în Hristos Isus, cu privire la voi."

This is my Thanks Giving project for Cuttlebug Be Inspired #56.
Acesta este proiectul meu cu tema Sarbatoarea Multumirii pentru Cuttlebug Be Inspired #56.


It's a handbound journal, great for counting your blessings every day. I made the cover using a kit from Teresa Collins our sponsor for Cuttlebug Be Inspired Challenge this week.

How About a Masquerade? (Ce ziceti de un bal mascat?)

For those who are wondering why the status on my Yahoo Messenger, here is the reason. I am working on some new masquerade ball invitations. No, not for princess Emily again, but for her friends, princess Ana and princess Clarisa.

I can't wait to share the finished invitations with you. I really love how they came out and I also had a lovely afternoon sunlight for my photo shoot.

**********************

Pentru cei care se intreaba ce e cu statusul meu de pe Yahoo Messenger, iata motivul: tocmai lucrez la niste invitatii noi pentru 2 baluri mascate. Nu, nu pentru printesa Emily. De data aceasta sunt pentru prietenele ei, Printesa Ana si printesa Clarisa.

Abia astept sa vi le pot arata. Sunt foarte multumita de cum au iesit aceste invitatii si am avut o lumina incantatoare pentru sedinta foto de dupa-masa.

Friday is Art School (Vineri e scoala de arte plastice)

For me October means back to school. Art school that is. I had great fun today trying oil paints for the first time, but while that is drying back at the studio let me share last week's pastel painting (Canson paper, 50x70 cm).

Octombrie aduce cu sine si un nou an la scoala de arte. Azi m-am simtit foarte bine incercand pentru prima data pictura in ulei, dar pana cand aceea se usuca in atelier vreau sa va arat pastelul de saptamana trecuta (pe hartie Canson de 50x70 cm).

"Rusty Autumn"

and here are some close-ups
(cateva detalii)

I had to paint the leaves from imagination because I finished the painting at home. I only had them sketched along with the image from my memory. They were maple leaves but they were so dry you could barely distinguish their shape.

However, it's the beautiful contrasts that I love about this still life.

A trebuit sa pictez frunzele din imaginatie pentru ca am terminat pictura acasa. Le aveam doar schitate si erau oricum destul de greu de reprezentat fiind atat de uscate incat cu greu le mai distingeai forma.
Totusi mi-a placut foarte mult contrastul din acesta natura statica.
