Today we finished Becky's designs; big blousy blooms mounted in topaz, ultramarine and colbat. Set with Swarovski crystals, mounted on contrasting board and mounted again in an info wallet, the design is finished with a contrasting ribbon. These will appear on the website next month when the art studio launches. Meantime, if you would like to enquire about the design please just get in touch and I'd be happy to help: hello@twobytwoweddings.com.

When I started Two by Two I was well known for my digital images; flowers, buildings, faces...the orders were always personalised and I created something really unique for my clients. In terms of a design led business, we've consistently expanded our portfolio and we invest time in design development; two and a half years ago I returned to art school and took an intensive refresher course in illustration and was lucky enough to be able to take time out of my working week to draw, draw, draw. I put my illustrations into my stationery and for the last 2 years I've had a private portfolio of illustrations that I've offered visiting clients. The range has grown and we are launching our "art studio" service shortly to roll out the designs into our website. It's an exciting time for us.
Rolling out designs has a sadder side in that we've also had to invest a in a good lawyer. He's fierce and has spent some time date stamping the websites of certain individuals who have "been inspired" by our previous portfolio's. I hate having to write this post but I am tired of watching some businesses I have consistently admired be ripped off. People call it a compliment, I call it irritating, but as a business we've been sensible and protected ourselves.
Right, so that's me over and out for this week...what awaits the studio next week! Oooh, it's The Wedding Industry Awards next week, I'm looking forward to a good night out!
Have a good weekend!
Natalie :-)
