I adore these hand drawn typography samples I found via flickr by graphic designer kayce lomas. apparently some 8th grade kids at a middle school the artist had to visit for a design project were blurting out “really, really peculiar things.” one of these peculiar phrases was “I will be your butternut squash.” I don’t quite understand it, but it sure is pretty.
the more I dig around kayce’s portfolio the more I love this girl. her online portfolio has a nice clean minimal layout that is certainly quite inspiring. (anyone familiar with the layout I made for bumblesea knows I’m partial to no frills, no nonsense, SEO friendly design.)
my other favorites by her: “these ain’t no cubic zirconias,” “crit happens,” “everything I make, I hate,” “A is for absolutely nothing,” and last but not least “suck it trebek”.
in other news, I’m so sick it hurts to breathe. and alice matsumoto from the carrotbox mentioned bumblesea on her blog. her blog (dedicated to unusual and gorgeous rings) has been a constant source of inspiration for me even though I’ve never gotten into making rings. I’m so happy she digs my new work!

picture frame collection by bumblesea
a photo of my picture frame collection in my livingroom. I hope to stay in this apartment until I buy a home. it was nice to see my family for a few days but it’s good to be back here.
bumblesea was featured on a few blogs in the past few days, I should round up the posts and share them soon.

press page is a little less empty looking now. the new line hasn’t been out for long so half of the press is from my old launch. oh well.
bumble sea press
I love this post that heather from gathering spriggs made. it’s a combo of bumblesea (pictured below: the margot and hatched necklaces) and a clothing line caled saltwater. our styles match up quite well. the model in these photos is so adorable.

to do list: editorial style photos with the jewelry, new acrylic line, redo the site so the content is dynamic (ugh). better than being bored, I suppose.

everything’s somewhat back to normal. now I have this awfully long to do list glaring at me from my desk. I took a nap to avoid him but he’s still there.
bumblesea has been featured on a few blogs over the past week or so. I’m trying to compile a list so I can share all the features on my blog. my poor press page has been somewhat abandoned. why hello there, to do list.
just one of those days, I guess.

jean whipped up a fantastic press release for the relaunch and new jewelry line. now I get the wonderful task of submitting it to publications and PR directories. yay?
most of my flickr favorites are either photos of strange little plants, ice caves, or sulking teenage girls. behold, some plants and stuff:

so I moved the blog. figured out that wordpress.com and wordpress.org are two different things and that .org is much more fun. all the traffic and google rankings will be coming to my own domain so I am a happy kitten. I’m still trying to get everything sorted from the overwhelmingly amazing week I just had. after all the features happened I expected everything to settle down for a while, but something on my blog was shared on stumbleupon and I ended up getting a spike in traffic that turned all the peaks and valleys of my previous traffic to bumblesea into one big flat line before june 12th. I hate that stumbleupon won’t let you look at the “stumble” or bookmark someone made to your site. I bite my thumb at you, stumbleupon. anyone know a way around this?

I love asha’s photos. at first I thought her blog, marty party, was a curated collection of her favorite photos by different photographers. then I realized they were all hers. love ‘em.

woke up to find my polyvore set… on their official blog? didn’t believe it was really their blog for a second. so I went to polyvore.com, clicked on “blog”. and yeah, there it is.
update: bumblesea’s on modish?????????? best day ever. thank you jena!
too much bragging, not enough eye candy!

interview’s out in print and online as well. I don’t look like a quadruped but I am biting my lip in the photo. daryl must’ve heard moths and lichens as my inspiration instead of moss and lichens? haha… thank you daryl and james! and of course the ever lovely jean.
