random love
I have to admit something. I love some of my switch plates more than others...making them, that is.
I'm always thrilled when someone orders the Bronze Ginkgo design, because I love the process used in making this one. It has a randomness, unpredictability that I look forward to each time I make them.
The design came about when I did a custom order for a woman who had a Craftsman home. I did a little research and came up with the Ginkgo design. It was as if everything was aligned at the time, as it came together quickly and easily and best of all, she loved it.
Again, the Bronze Ginkgo switch plates are going to reside in a lovely old Craftsman style home. I just completed an order for a designer in California whose clients saw my switch plates and wanted multiples for their home. It was extra special making them, because the plates I covered were sent to me by the designer. They were the old fashioned push button type. (I had every intention of taking pictures, but after getting home from the post office realized I just plain forgot).
The fact that I forgot to take pictures, as I had intended, got me thinking. Perhaps the people that buy my switch plates, would take pictures of them in the rooms they were meant for, and send them to me. That's a lovely thought to end on.

oh baby!
Babies have a bad habit of growing out of things much too quickly. Coming up with something unique to bring to a baby shower, that baby wouldn't grown out of in a few weeks, was what I had in mind when I designed this 'Baby Steps' switch plate.
You know there's going to be plenty of diapers, burp cloths, and cute clothing to go around, so why not bring something different?
Just make sure you order in plenty of time to allow me to make your custom switch plate and have it shipped to you in time for the shower.

say hello to the little brown bird
Isn't she cute? The little brown bird has made her debut at Mosaico Decor.
The premise behind this, and switch plates to come, is that perhaps I should move into a more neutral palette.
Some of my most popular designs are very colourful, so I won't be abandoning the use of colour all together. I will be experimenting with neutrals more to see if the appeal is wider.
This design will also be available in brown only. I think it'll have a woodburned look about it, which may or may not be a good thing. Only time will tell if this new direction will take me where I want to go.
