Martha Stewart Debut!
I have been dying to post about my first appearance in Martha Stewart Weddings!
I was one of the lucky designers that was contacted to create a wedding suite inspired by pattern. I was assigned stripes! Instead of sticking to the classic crisp lines we know so well, I created stencils and hand-painted watercolor washes onto each and every piece.
Labor intensive, yes, but I wouldn’t have it any other way ; )
The results are so soft and romantic.
Here is my full page feature! Beautifully photographed by the Martha Stewart team.
I love the way they styled the photograph with the background fabric and hand-painted cookies…. can you believe they found the fabric for the background after I created the suite?! It’s perfect! So exciting to see my work on the page of such a well known and respected publication!

Congratulations on your appearance in MS Weddings; tough assignment to do stripes as a motif, but you pulled it off! I look forward to seeing your work in more MS in the future.

Cynthia, I am blown away by these! I love how you took such an austere font and enlivened it with the stripes. Gorgeous.
