Brrrr! Get out of the Cold and Think Beachy Coastal for Summer Weddings!

January 6, 2011 – 4:23 am

A New Year means time for new art!  I’ve been working hard on some new coastal, beach style artwork and just finished this collection enough to have it designed into 3 complete wedding ensembles.  If you’re daring, they mix and match beautifully!

I have a Great White Egret, a Sea Horse and a Green Sea Turtle (by the way, did you know they aren’t green?!)  If you’re looking for destination wedding invitations, I can add the island or other name of your wedding location in the elegant calligraphy that is featured.

These are classic, elegant and yet very trend forward.  I hope you’ll enjoy taking a peek!

This collection also has several wedding or anniversary prints that are suitable for framing.  Shown here with the Green Sea Turtle design, this one is available in all three motifs.  Perfect for an upcoming wedding gift, for your own home or for a special anniversary.

If you’re a coastal person and have suggestions for other art I could add to this collection, please comment on this post I would LOVE to hear from you!

Just click on any picture and it will take you to that item in my Zazzle store.  From there, if you would like to see more options of items available, just look above the image and you’ll see a file tree that looks like: AudreyJeanne > Everything Wedding! > Beach – Coastal – Ocean > Sea Horse.  The last name listed is the specific collection and the ones prior to it are the various section in the store.  You can also copy the title of any item in the search function and it will show you all of the items available in that collection design.

New Personalized Baby Name Wall Art Decor, Ready for Framing

December 11, 2010 – 9:24 am

“Precious Little One” is a design with an adorable sleeping little lamb cuddled up with the man in the moon amongst a sky of stars.  The new baby’s name, birthdate, weight, length, and time of birth are included.  These designs have been on the drafting board for about a year and I managed to finish them today.  What I love about these is that you can personalize them really easily and the gift will ship to you within 24 hours most of the time, if you order the print through Zazzle!  Simply click on the image and it will take you to more information.  All you need to know is the new baby’s vitals and you’re ready to order a keepsake gift that can be treasured for a lifetime.

Available in 4 different colors for boys and 4 different colors for girls, these are prints that are suitable for framing.  To create them, we cut a double bevel cut matte, scanned it in and layered it over the image, so the print is ready to frame as is.  OR you can buy an 11″ x 14″ frame with a matte in it and place the print behind the pre-cut matte – a very cost-effective way to frame things as both Costco and WalMart have some really great frames at great prices.  OR you can take the print to your local Michael’s Frame Shop or local Framer and have it framed to suit your decor.

If you would like to order these the old fashioned way, from our company directly.  Personalized, framed, double matted costs $49.95.  Print only, personalized is $24.95 through Zazzle.  We do still manufacture them with frames and mattes directly from our company , you can simply email steveataje (at sign) earthlink (dot) net and customer service will take care of it.

“Trellis Rose Vintage” Collection Released Today

December 10, 2010 – 12:57 am

NEW!  Personalized art prints suitable for framing.  Available for wedding or anniversary gifts.  Personalize with your names and dates.  Sizes available both 11″ square (fits nicely on a 12″ scrap book paper in a 12″ scrapbook) and 12″ square (fits stock frames designed for scrapbook pages).

I began my business many years ago as a calligrapher.  At the time I didn’t know how to paint or draw.  In designing calligraphy pieces for people I discovered that I needed to find ways to add color and interest to them and thus began my journey into the world of art.

For many years we had a framed print line that we sold at craft fairs all throughout the state of California.  Our favorite being the Harvest Festivals.  Not a fall passes by that we don’t reminisce fondly about those days (amazing how memories of the pain and exhaustion passes after time, LOL!)

We also wholesaled our product to about 4,000 stores during the 90′s and up until 2006.  At that time it simply became too much to manage with the growth of my licensing business and the time commitments that were involved.  We have continued to sell to individuals over the years and have made dear, dear friends with many of our repeat customers – you know who you are :-)

With my venturing into Zazzle this past year and especially with my growing wedding invitation business, it’s been much on my heart to bring back the calligraphy line but in a new way, with new art for a new generation.  Today is the very first piece that I am releasing.  These are being sold as prints that can be framed or displayed in a scrapbook.  You can order them and take them to your local Michael’s or frame shop.  They can be framed without mats or matted and framed as suits your decor.

Look for many more in the days and months to come.  What I love about this option is that I can do 30 or more versions of 1st Corinthians 13 and not have to have a catalog to produce that shows them all!  The next designs to come will be my best sellers “Lord, Help me to Build a Healthy Child” and “To Build a Lasting Love.”

Also shown in this post are the Wedding Invitations that match.  This collection is called “Trellis Rose Vintage” and has a wide range of wedding related products created to match.  Perfect for spring and summer weddings, the collection will be fully finished by the New Year.  Click on any picture to go to that item in the store.

French Bow & Dot Baby or Bridal Shower Collection

October 7, 2010 – 11:00 pm

I have neglected my blog all month long.  I simply couldn’t take even an hour to come and fill you in on what’s happening.  So now it’s time to “Catch up.”  Don’t you wish you could really, “catch up?!”  Are you like me and the faster you get things done the more that goes on your plate?  This month has been like that.  It’s stressful at times, but as an artist in a tough economy I’m always very, very thankful that I have more work than I can easily get done!

My Etsy store and Zazzle stores are doing amazingly well.  THANK YOU to each bride I’ve been privileged to work with and help  with making your wedding day special.  I’ve had so much fun working with English, French, Norwegian and other brides-to-be from around the globe.  I am adding coordinating cupcake wrapper kits to each new collection and will go back and add them to the most popular wedding collections that I’ve already created.  These are printed two-sided on 80 lb. tex and are simple to cut and assemble.  I give instructions on how to use the coordinating stickers to create cupcake toppers as well.  Perfect for Bridal Showers, Wedding receptions and baby showers as well.

Thank you also to each family that has allowed my baby collections to be part of your special joy in welcoming a new addition.  I must have at least a million new ideas and no time to do them all.  That’s the blessing and the curse of the creative mind…

I’ve created some new holiday art, but haven’t even had the time to play with how to put it together into products because of assignments that come first.  My inner little girl artist is shouting and stomping her feet, “I want to play, I want to play, I WANT TO PLAY!!!!!”  Oh well… I’ll eventually get a chance.

It’s the holiday season again.  Time for celebrating love, family and the ties that bind our hearts together.  We’re starting our holiday season with a trip to see both my parents and my husband’s parents.  My sister will be visiting from Kauai at my parents so it’s an extra special time to gather together.  My mom and adoptive father will be celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary this month.  It’s scary how fast that 40 years went!

When it all comes down to it, is it work that provides the warm and wonderful memories?  A clean house?  A task list that is marked complete (mmmmmm…. could be maybe a “Yes” answer on that last one, but I’ve never achieved it!)  But in truth the answer is surely “No.”  It’s the relationships we are privileged to share.  Take time to slow down and focus on those you love.  It’s the best stress reliever I know!

“Peacock Feathers” Formal Wedding Invitation Ensemble

September 4, 2010 – 9:33 am

Peacock Feathers Reception Invitation Card

Original watercolor art by Audrey Jeanne Roberts

This is a coordinating Reception Invitation card for the contemporary, sophisticated “Peacock Feathers” wedding ensemble. Featuring stylized, hand watercolored Peacock feathers with your choice of background color, shown here in aqua blue.  I have created this collection in 6 colors at the moment, but it can be custom colored to your specific wedding colors should you like.  To see the reverse side of these invitation, just click on the picture and it will take you to them.

I love Peacocks and always have.  They remind me of my days spent at the San Diego Zoo as a young child.  The entrance of the zoo is populated by quite a few Peacocks and they loved to show off their plumage to the adoring crowds.  When I moved to the country the first time I seriously thought of raising some… until I heard how LOUD and irritating their screech is, LOL!  Then I decided to paint them instead.

Lots more coming in the days ahead, that is if I can keep on painting and not have to stop :-)   In my business you never really know what you’re doing in the next hour let alone tomorrow!

New “Vintage Roses ‘n Butterflies” Wedding Ensemble at Zazzle

September 2, 2010 – 6:52 am

Here’s one of my newest Wedding Ensembles.  It is a hybrid of original contemporary artwork and vintage pieces.  This envelope is made strictly from my own watercolor painting and that background forms the background for the collection.

I am really enjoying playing with classic vintage art mixed with my own art.  I can paint antique English roses, but they won’t have the vintage feel that the original artwork has because of their reproduction methods.  There was no four color press available at the time.

This is a Seating Chart for sit down dinners.  It is a very elegant and yet inexpensive way to let your guests know where they have been seated.

There are quite a few sizes and products offered in this collection all of which will be found at  my Zazzle store.  Simply click on any picture and it will take you there.

Here are a few of the items available. About 1/2 of the ensemble has been designed already but there will be more coming soon.

There is also a design collection at Zazzle for Wedding, Bridal Shower and other invitations.  This design received a “Today’s Best Award” from the Zazzle Design Staff.  There is a complete Wedding Ensemble coming including Table Seating Charts, Table Cards and Place Cards.

Coffee Art Calendar “Life Happens Over Coffee”

August 12, 2010 – 8:50 am

There are twelve individual pieces of art that come together in this calendar, all with beautiful art and many with some humorous sayings having to do with the consumption of coffee!

Here’s a coffee mug with one of the calendar images on it.

I created this artwork with a calendar in mind, but then took two years to put it on one, LOL!  It’s been used in a fabric collection and a kitchen soft goods collection as well as quite a few other product lines.  In addition to the calendar each print will be available as a poster to frame or to put on canvas — your choice.

Every calendar page will eventually be available as a print.
