January 4, 2015 cynthia

Two thousand & fifteen has arrived, and although the New Year always comes faster than I feel prepared for, I welcome it! This year, my personal aspirations are focused on embracing change and exploring new possibilities... pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

I have been fascinated by calligrams long before I learned that that's what they are called. And, for as long as I can remember I've wanted to create a menu design in this way, I finally got my chance this Bastille Day for Chez Panisse Restaurant! The main course was chicken so my strutting rooster felt quite fitting as the image. The proud rooster has, also, always felt so … [Read more...]

Northern California Fall Wedding

November 30, 2013 cynthia

I just got home from a beautiful hike with a friend in Redwood Regional Park. I always love Thanksgiving weekend as it seems to be one of the rare times that life truly slows down. Being out in the woods on this crisp sunny day inspired me to share this autumnal wedding in Hopland, California. This is the same wedding that I spoke of in last month's post - Fall Wedding … [Read more...]
