...the first greeting card set I've created for the Greeting Card Collection, "Audrey & Famous" (tied up with a bow!)Also look for the first archival Limited Edition Print series of picture book spreads from Just Being Audrey, and Dotty, as well as the first small Open Edition Print featuring lady Audrey...
Closest to my heart is the previously unreleased and unpublished spread, "Audrey & the Children" as a Limited Edition Print with 50% of the proceeds going to The Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund. This spread was not included in the book. More on "Audrey & the Children" to follow...
OH, so many new prints, character collections and greeting card sets on the way, stay tuned! ♥
After many months of hard work in the off hours, I have to thank my husband, Matt, for his untiring patience, and unending encouragement as this was definitely a team effort getting this little dream off the ground. Also thankful hugs to my artist/shopkeeper friends Anne, Sarah Jane, J.Hill and Abigail LaBranche for the support!
I'm SO excited about this.

ReplyDeleteI am so happy you got shop and selling greeting cards. You deserve it!!!! Dream has accomplish.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Way to find a cool way to expand your business.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I was looking at your sidebar and saw the "Popular Stories For Girls."
I have to wonder if it's a first edition.
If so, how did they know they were popular girl stories before they printed them? Maybe a collection of previously-printed stories?
It's these sort of questions that keep me up at night.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Andrew-thanks! And the book was in a carton of extremely old books I was lucky enough to find on the side of the road a few weeks ago, one of my favorites just because of that title! Marked 1913 and looks like first edition, by a long gone publisher (Cupples & Leon) It's a cool find, but I'm not sure how they deduced these were popular before printed! More research and I'll get back to you!
ReplyDeletejulia! this is soooo fabulous! CONGRATULATIONS! :) such beautiful work - i want to buy everything. xo

ReplyDeleteYour Ilustrations are simply AMAZING!!! I want to buy the book!!! Congratulations you are an artist!
