This summer I shared about the 3D printed mini Wellesley College lanterns I had started selling. Well, here's season 2! I'm now making ornaments and light-up wreath hangers based on the same design, and selling them on Etsy at the Little Lantern Shop.

I designed some felt ornament patterns for my Etsy shop this week.

I gave some love to an old project this week by redesigning one of my Advent studies, Advent Illustrated: Waiting 'Round the Wreath. The new version includes additional content, as well as crafts, recipes, playlists, and embedded videos.

A sneak peek of something I'm working on right now! I'm currently developing the branding and web presence for a new worshipping community in NW Altadena, called Interwoven. In the words of the founder Harlan, Interwoven is a place where people from all walks of life can join in being woven together in spiritual community. It's a church that seeks to 'uplift the whole person — spiritually, emotionally, physically, and psychologically.'

The branding here is inspired by the language of being 'woven' or 'knit' — processes in which different threads or fabrics are brought together without losing their individuality. It was important to me to have the logo feel hand-hewn, to reflect the community's focus on authenticity; for that reason, we chose a pattern that that felt a but like an ink stamp. For the colors, we're using earthy tones to reflect the natural beauty Altadena, where the skyline is the mountains.

I love sending snail mail, so I designed these stickers for closing envelopes and decorating packages (as well as some address labels, not pictured).

My partner and I collaborated on these 3D printed models of the lanterns on my old college campus. The original design was a birthday present, but due to the high level of interest from other Wellesley alums, I've now grown it into a small business, which includes not just the lanterns, but also branding, shipping materials including stickers and cards, and a custom order-tracking web app for customers.
