From there to here. A moving day booklet.
I was moved me to tears when I opened an envelope with a "we have moved" change of address card in the mailbox just the other day.
I had done the artwork and sent it off knowing that it would be used for this, however, when it arrived, I was so touched at how beautifully it had been executed. A little illustrated story, based on the "green acres" is the life for me, so cleverly composed by my client.
The printing, the paper the layout and the little gingham ribbon that tied it all together touched me. I felt so proud of this, of the entire little package of love.
The last page is one of my favorite drawings, this lovely home sweet home.
Can you feel the love of a new address in the countryside? I was truly moved to tears.
just so beautiful! you should be proud...what a cool way to announce an adress change!
ReplyDeletemichelle,
ReplyDeletetruly, that is what I adore about my work - I am surrounded by remarkable clients who think of such clever ways for my artwork.
I am thinking a book is very near and dear this year!
keeping my fingers crossed, that is when they are not drawing, painting, cleaning or driving!
thanks for your kind words.

Magnificent. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYour work "moves" me... What a unique way to chronicle where you have been and hopes for the future.
ReplyDeleteThese folks must have thrilled with what you created for them.
I do see a book in your future Patricia~
As always Patricia your work is so charming and the book is such an original idea!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness- it is BEAUTIFUL! Once again I'm speechless with your art my friend.
ReplyDeleteA very special way to announce the change of a home. The time and care your client took to send this card out-is a sure way to say "how special you are to me and not to lose touch".
Yes a book would be nice!
that is such a great idea -how lovely for you to be involved in the process :-) I'm sure everyone who receives one will be THRILLED!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a personal piece - and the portrait of the house is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIsn't wonderful to see how your work changes lives and when it's used is such a wonderful way. You should be very proud.
ReplyDeletebeautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so darling! I love all your beautiful illustrations, they look so charming like this!
ReplyDeleteSo charming and creative. I love this idea, it could be translated to wedding programs and invites too methinks.
ReplyDeletehow special is this?? What a beautiful book and your work is so inspiring & whimsical!
ReplyDeletea gorgeous announcement. i covet little booklets, tiny narrative treasures. your work is a lovely complement to their journey to the country.
ReplyDeleteI love this. What a great idea to let friends and family in on your story as to where you are moving. Just lovely. I adore your word. It's is perfection. You are so talented. I really don't know how you do it. I love every piece you show.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful, Patricia! I wish I had known you a year ago when we moved and had come up with something so clever.
ReplyDeletesimply gorgeous !
ReplyDeleteThat is really lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! What a lovely job you did with the art and your clients put it all together so well. You should be proud.
ReplyDeleteOh that is so beautiful! Your work really is exquisite. We become so emotionally attached to our homes (at least I do) so it is only fitting to announce such a change in a beautiful and creative way. I wish I had been as excited about my recent move as your client was. Instead, I still feel stuck mourning my former home.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you feel very gratified seeing the joy your art brings to others lives.
