‘ve decided I’m moving to a new place. I think it has become very apparent from my posts that Ornamelle was a very troubled journey – one of trying to find myself and getting lost most of the times. A tiring journey of a wandering soul.

I nevertheless love this place because of all its’ imperfections, because of the fact that I also hate it, because it makes me feel proud and embarrassed all at once, because among all the places where I fell lost, it also helped me find a little bit of myself. It’s time to move on and be lost somewhere else.

finally came around to posting something in my Society6 shop. You can see it here if you’re interested. What do you think?

didn’t have the best start of the year, but I’m not going to complain. Let’s just hope it’s all upwards from now on. I don’t usually share things like that here, but I love how these wedding invitations that I designed for a couple whose wedding we’re shooting this summer turned out. I had complete freedom in the design and it combines a lot of elements that I love: a monochrome palette, hand-lettering, a hand-drawn gingham pattern. I’m really proud of them and I hope you like them, too.

guess this will be my last post for this year, since we’re heading to our parents’ place for the holidays tomorrow. 2012 hasn’t been abundant in posts here…mildly said. I hope to change that in the coming year.

I hope you have amazing holidays and see you in 2013!

think I’ve mentioned before here that on of my favourite artists is Franz Kline. It’s pretty visual that in my humble painting attempts I’m influenced by his works. There are many artists whose works are dominated by black and white, but his works have a very particular energy about them.

I find this quote by him “People sometimes think I take a white canvas and paint a black sign on it, but this is not true. I paint the white as well as the black and the white is just as important” very strong. It’s very philosophical not only about painting, about life as well.

OK, now I’m off to cook dinner. See you around.

t snowed for the first time this year on Monday and we finally had to admit that it’s already December and Christmas is around the corner. I set up a little tree on the wall made with Japanese tape – super easy and really good looking. Plus, we get to stick notes with our presents wishes on it. At least me, my husband likes to be surprised and me – since I’m very particular about lots of things – prefer to chose my presents.

or the past month this blog has been hacked about 87 times, so it was probably not visible most of the time. But thanks to my husband, it has now been repaired and it will hopefully be working.
