Hello Mo friends!

We’ve just sent off a bundle of goodness to our new stockist.

If you’re a student at Edith Cowan University, you can pick up some Little Mo stationery like our greeting cards, postcards and notebooks at the ECU bookshops! Available at the Mt Lawley and Joondalup campus. Hope you enjoy!

Works in progress

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

Remember this? I’ve just finished inking my little birdies and tree print, as part of my nature series. I’ve decided to try a summer palette for this design, what do you think? I’m hoping that the marigold will come out nicely during my test print.

I think colouring foliage requires the most time for me and although this design looks simple, it actually took me awhile to ink in all the leaves and shade them.

Aside from making notebooks, I’ve been thinking about turning my nature patterns into greeting cards or postcards. Would they be too plain for cards? Any ideas?

Stamped with love

I have Little Mo stamps now! They are adorably cute! I’ve been using them this morning for some orders.

It’s the same screenprint image from my tossing paper planes bag.

I’m in love!!! I’m actually laughing / smiling / bouncing with glee as I type this! Gah!

Just add stamps

Picked up my new postcards from the printer and skipped back home with joy!

I am sorting through the lot now and rounding off the edges nicely.

My ‘Home’ postcard set is now available in my shop. You can get it as a single card or in a mix pack of 6. Happy mailing!

My creative space – Bird prints

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

I get excited when I start on the first page of a new sketchbook or journal. Do you feel the same way too?

Today I am working on some nature patterns…with little birdies in them. I’ll be inking them with colour, and will update with works in progress soon.

I’ve also been listening to these girls from Goodnight Tiger, they’re pretty good.

Little birdy

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

I’ve been bitten by the stamp bug lately and have resorted to stamping at anything that I can get my hands on. I think it’s contagious!

birdpaper1

A little birdy told me that this person likes birds. Luckily for me, I found a bird stamp in my drawer.

I’m always grateful when someone visits my shop, so I try to incorporate a lot of hand drawings and handmade touches in their packages. These little things remind me why I love being an artist. I love art + making. And I love you!

My creative space – stick em up!

You’ll probably remember these illustrations from this post. I can’t believe it’s been 3 months!

littlemostickerset3

That also says a lot about my working process. I usually have a lot of finished illustrations on my computer but I hold them off from printing until I am absolutely happy with the final product.

I think I’m very particular with how everything must look and packaging is so important to me. It drives me crazy. If I’m not happy, I won’t print it. If I print it and it doesn’t turn out the way it should look, I get very upset and I’ll put the design on hold until I figure out what to do next. Needless to say…it’s been 3 months.

Well…I’m just so happy to finally be able to show you my latest illustrations! And I’m glad I was nit picking over every detail. Because the end product looks great!! And I’m 100% happy now!

Bear Mo sticker set and Garden Mo sticker set are now available in my shop! Keep a look out for my other two packs!

DIY hand stamped wrapping paper

Monday, April 19th, 2010

I was inspired by Allana’s hand stamped wrapping paper from her blog that I decided to try it out myself.

treeprint

I chose a tree stamp and made little tree prints all over some brown paper. I like that the print has uneven ink marks, it gives that charming appeal.

littlemo_giftcard

Since this was an actual order for a customer, I popped in one of my Little Mo thank you cards. All of my thank you cards are hand drawn on the spot. They are like little pieces of my original art:)

Then I stuck Mr Bunny on the package for some extra love! I hope you enjoy opening your Mo goodies, Karen!
