Seeing the way God uses color in his creation inspires my art and gives me a clearer view of His love for me and you. I'm inspired by the sparks of emotion I feel when I see color, and I hope you feel those sparks when you view my work.

talking shop!

It's almost here, guys. If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you've no doubt seen me talking about the re-opening of my Etsy shop, Hello Hue Studio. I've been working hard on my artwork and I'm so excited to share it with you next week! 

I thought I'd share a little about the products that you'll find in the shop when it opens next week. 
First of all, I'm excited to offer prints in the shop! For years I've wanted to work on prints of my artwork, but with limited resources in Hawaii, I never did. Next week, there will be some frameable Hello Hue designs available for you to purchase! Some designs may be familiar, while others are all new.
You might remember my mini canvas magnets from right before I closed up shop last spring. They're back and just as cute as ever! They're available in a rainbow of colors and with a super strong magnet on the back, they'll add some happy cheer to your fridge or magnetic chalkboard. (Or baking sheet, which is what I'm using to display my inventory in the studio. ;)



The product I'm most excited about is my brand-new hand-painted necklaces. I've painted my designs in minute detail on gorgeous mahogany wood pendants. There are silver and antiqued bronze chains available and the chains are 24". Just like the prints, I've always had a dream to offer my artwork in this form and seeing them hanging in my studio, even better than I imagined is pretty surreal. I hope you'll love them just as much as I do, but if not, that's okay, because I wouldn't mind keeping them all to my self. 

You may be asking, "What about the canvases??" I'll have some limited designs on canvases, but I'm seeing the direction of the shop shift a bit. Part of the reason is because the packaging portion of selling canvases is so time-consuming and sometimes stressful. I'd rather spend my time designing and painting than wrestling cardboard boxes and cutting them to size. I may start to offer custom pieces again, depending on how the shop is doing. 

I'm excited and just a tiny bit anxious about the shop opening. Putting your designs and hard work out there is nerve-wracking, but I'm so stoked to dive into the handmade world again. My prayers are that through my shop and artwork, I'll honor God, inspire others, and add some happy color into your lives. 

See you next week at Hello Hue Studio! 

it's the little things:: a tough week, a good run and ice cream.
