Stripes and chandeliers.

Stripes and chandeliers what a devine combination. It is the sort of room you just want to luxuriate in while sipping champagne and indulging is in some rich delicious chocolate. I took this photo in a local clothing shop called Blue Illusion. It is a lovely place to escape and dream for half and hour or so after a busy day.

My Etsy shop.

Esani on Etsy. I have attached a screen grab of my Etsy shop showing the new more corporate look.

Pet portrait semi pop art style.

This is my favourite pet portrait  to date. "Harpo the cat". I specialise in creating lifelong memories of pets both past and present for the people who love them.

Black and white bathroom tiles.

In my quest to find the perfect tile for our bathroom I have discovered some great inspiration for logo design. I am not brave enough to use any of these patterns but they do look great together. 

Bathroom renovation.

Well we have finally started our bathroom renovation. This will be our 3rd bathroom renovation and final one I hope.  So we have been gutting, ripping, bashing and drilling. Even though it is just the bathroom we are renovating somehow the whole house ends up being covered in sand, dust and mess. I was explaining to a friend that we doing some work with a hammer jack when he kindly corrected me to say we were using a jack hammer. I make myself laugh sometimes. Shows how little I know even after 3 reno's. The biggest problem has been the tiles. Firstly getting them off the wall and secondly choosing new ones. There is sooooo much choice but I cannot find what I want. Below is a sample of a tile I have seen. Not my choice but an interesting sample of whats available. Makes for a good blog photo.

Logo.

Finally.... I have a new logo and branding which I have been working on for ages. I always find it much harder to design something for myself.  Not sure why that is? I decided I needed a fresh new look. Originally when I open my Etsy shop I was selling clip art but I have changed direction and specialise in logo design now. I thought a corporate image would be more professional and suitable.  So here it is. love to know what you think.

Natural product sticker.

I have been working on a natural product label today. This is suitable to print out and attach to your products or it can be used as a digital image online. There are two versions included in the package.
