Treasuring the Moment and A Special Giveaway


A brand new week is here! And I'm so excited because I can finally share this very special post with you. I'm sure spring has already settled in nicely in most parts of the world. The birds are singing, the bees are buzzing, and love is strongly in the air. No doubt wedding bells are sounding off their pretty sound and lovers are bound together in the precious knot that entwines their hearts forever as one. Inspired by the 1920s themed custom portrait I did recently, here is a new piece I created to celebrate the beautiful season...

The Bride, pencils and digital mediums (original available here)

And to step further into the celebration, let me introduce to you, two inspiring sisters who work each day, creating treasures for that special moment in life!


Meet the twins, Aundrea and Erin. They are the creators behind Meadowbelle Market, a shop at Etsy that specializes in modern wedding jewelry with a twist of vintage. As little girls, these ladies had always dreamed of working closely together one day and now their business is proof that dreams really do come true. Together, they design and create beautiful handmade sterling silver jewelry, from rings to necklaces, bracelets to earrings, even personalized charms!

 
 
Don't you think they're gorgeous? Well, you're in luck, because Aundrea and Erin are letting me host a special giveaway for them right here! And this is the beautiful piece you can win...

 

All you need to do is be a follower of my blog and leave a comment right here. The giveaway will be closed on 22nd April and a winner will be announced in the following week.

I hope you enjoyed the post! Did it bring up some wonderful memories of your wedding day? And how about you, brides-to-be? Feeling inspired? :)

Hugs and kisses to you!

OXOX,

  9. I LOVE your drawing of the vintage bride! The bridal jewellery is pretty but I don't know of anyone getting married in the foreseeable future so I won't take part in the giveaway this time. :)

  17. I really like your art (and the jewelry too) lol. Your works are rarely seen! Seriously. I like your drawings characteristic, wide head with large eyes, it reminds me of the once famous doll i've ever had. I do not know, I always thought when I grew up I did not choose to marry. Haha absurd. And this drawing .. I do not know .. I like it <3 :D
