Elizabeth on Alluminare!

Elizabeth on Alluminare!

By libbylu on April 24, 2010

The lovely pattern, Elizabeth, is now available for purchase on Alluminare.com! Elizabeth is a lace-inspired pattern, named for the queen herself.

Here is Elizabeth, as custom fabric: Elegant and [...]

Fancy Pants vs. Biker Chic vs. Old West

Fancy Pants vs. Biker Chic vs. Old West

By libbylu on March 10, 2010

A client asked me to work on some leather labels – oh so fun. I love tangible art! He asked me to take his current logo and either update it or create something around it that was fancy/biker/western within the established oval. I enjoyed this one a lot.   So here’s what I came up [...]

A Little Something

A Little Something

By libbylu on March 2, 2010

I threw this together today for the Tigerprint Love Typography contest. It’s all font-based, meaning, I didn’t draw any of it. The flowers are a dingbat, and I used a couple fonts for the text. I haven’t manipulated a font in a long time, so this was fun. The blurb: “My One And Only Love” [...]

Inspiration

Inspiration

By libbylu on January 6, 2010

It’s not really a New Year’s resolution so much as a “what I need right now”, but I’ve decided to look around more. I am so inspired by other designers!! Yesterday, I spent a good chunk of time staring at Letterhead Fonts. Lots of typographic eye candy. Check ‘em out. I also stared at Jessica [...]

You Don't Write... You Don't Call...

You Don’t Write… You Don’t Call…

By libbylu on December 7, 2009

Ha. Actually had a college boy-interest say that to me once. There was a reason. Dear blog-readers, I’ve not kept up with you – I’m sorry! I’ve been traveling, first to my family for Thanksgiving, then to Oregon to see friends and family. My Google Reader has over 300 unread items! I can’t wait to [...]
