beautify your bike



via designspongeonline.com this morning. i swooned and at the same time wished it wasn't raining so i could take my bike out and buy one of these amazing, hand carved, leather bike seats. these are so gorgeous! i checked out the artist's site kara ginther of madison, wisconsin and she also does beautiful carvings into shoes, belts all things leather and a collection of leather bound books is coming soon. so beautiful!

last month, the lovely people at VIBC, the vancouver international bhangra celebration society threw an beautiful, intimate dinner party/fundraiser hosted and prepared by vancouver's favourite chef, vikram vij.

with this lovely event, i was commissioned to create 50 hand-written and hand painted invitations for this special night.

these were definitely a labour of love and i am really happy with the results and have gotten some great feedback. here's a look at the invitations and a sweet shot of a place card at the evening's event*.
