Soft Shades...

 
Mellowness continues and the studio is filled with soft shades that reflect the in between mood.

I was hoping to catch a glimpse of some highlights of "Fashion Week" but will have to tune in and watch later after some catch up work has been completed. 

I am seeing lots of Army Green on the runways this Fall. I like that, a little anyway, and animal prints, weren't those hot just a few years back?

I'm not one to completely follow the trends, but I do like to incorporate a new piece into my existing wardrobe each season. I think I'll be on the look out for an Army green piece to wear with jeans and boots.

I love the thigh high boots but seriously cannot see myself wearing a pair. Maybe if I lived in LA, yeah, then I could probably do it.

How about an Army green blouse, a really cool skirt, a leopard scarf, and dark brown thigh boots, maybe a simple little short vest too.

Anyway, I do enjoy watching the trends on the runway, the models, the designers, and the front row.

Studio Open today!

Enjoy caring and sharing days.

Summer Shades

Bittersweet is refurbishing some of our packaging. Every now and then I stop and examine the labels on products but if only to simply see if I still like them. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

   

Do you remember the Lemon Water label? You helped me design that one!
 
 Over the years while creating product, soap labels, I have found most always, less is more.

Being the graphic loving girl that I am, it's a challenge not to lather up the pictures on all of my packaging. I'm quite fond of antique toiletry labels, and have a large collection in my library. I sometimes use them as reference when creating a new label.

 I love the shapes of these labels. Typically, vintage labels were not square or round, but molded from the design of the label. I would imagine the shape of the label came first in design, then the wording would be added to fit according to the size of the label. That's how I do it too.

Still working on that studio. It's always fun to place new product labels on the shelves.

Enjoy caring and sharing summer days.

Happily,
