I'm working on something so incredibly fun... but I can tell or show... It's torture. All I could say is that it's for lil' kids:) I'll bottle that excitement to open up later. Must be patient...On the bright side, I have a new print available on Monkey Powered. I really like it! It's really fun!

-'Indeed!' - says the girl - 'indeed.'
Well, back to work with me...

my kitchen would thank me for this print! So cheerful! God work, Helen. Can't wait to hear about your children's project!
Coffee and art - two of my great loves.
Fantastic new print! I adore it :) You are so talented and it sounds like yo really enjoy what you do!
i just LUV this new print Helen!
it's adorable, like everything else you do.
okay Helen,
I have to ask because I am digitally challenged how did you get the image to have a wood grain type look?
It reminds me of your friend Jenn Ski, I love it!! Please tell me how!!
I have to get an Etsy site up badly but sadly at the end of the day I am so tired to do anything, but I will be forced to by the end of May if it kills me!!
By the way are you ready for Surtex? Its just a few weeks away, lucky for you Lilla will be taking care of all the crazy stuff, I would have to take a month out to prepare for that show every year, and its nice not to do it this year! I can actually walk Stationery and talk to friends at Surtex and not have to stand in a booth all day!!! I will surely stop by your booth.
Oh I am going to add you to my blogroll!!
Ok Ellen (and anyone who's interested),
Here's the process:
My husband makes string instruments (mainly guitars for a living and we have a ton of wood scarps. I've taken some that I thought were pretty and scanned them in at high resolution. I put the collage together in Photoshop using vector shapes I created in Illustrator. Some pieces of wood got coloured by putting a solid colour layer on top of wooden one and than making it (%) transparent. So there are many layers and you have to work with at least 300dpi resolution (so...good computer is a must).
I hope this answers the question:) h:)
The print looks gorgeous! I can't wait for the surprise :P
i'm enjoying your blog and work so much! you are lots of fun!
Oh my gosh-- your work is adorable. It's so fun and fresh and wonderful. It was simply love at first sight for me.
I'm wondering what your special project is...hm... maybe a book for the little kids?!
Keep up the great work!
-M.
