As if it's August already! Times flies on with another busy month disappearing before I know it! I hope you enjoy this month's free desktop background, which you can download and enjoy here. Much love from Sail and Swan! :)

I am so in love with watercolour and ink at the moment. How beautiful are these delicate artworks by Kareem Illiya. I love her use of shapes and the way she so beautifully puts these images together. Hope you enjoy!

 

 

Here is some more of my recent work for Margaret from Maggie's Raggies. Her soft toys, or Raggies as she calls them, are designed for new borns and young children. Not only did I love putting this logo design together for her, but I love the variety in my work every day! Thanks Maggie!

 

 

There's nothing I love more than finding out about a person's story and the heart of their business. I love knowing why they do what they do, and what makes them so passionate about it. And I especially love finding a way to incorporate all of that into a logo design! Here is a recent logo that I made for Eleanor from Captivating Art Photography. Good luck with all your ventures Eleanor!

Our wedding photos have finally arrived and we are so excited with the outcome. We can't thank our photographer Haley Renee enough! What an amazing person! We had the funnest day with her and just adore love her photos. I was also lucky enough to design all our wedding stationery myself and Matt and I made most of our decorations for the day. I also sewed up (with my mom's help!) cute little clutches for the girls. What a big craft party it was :) Stay tuned because I was so inspired from the day that I am branching out more into wedding and event stationery. New and exciting work is going to come :)

In the meanwhile, here are some snapshots below for you to enjoy!
(Photos of our stationery are by me).

 

  

 

 

 

  

I stumbled across this illustrator with the prettiest work. Kim Boyoun, based in New York, uses bright colours, lovely textures and patterns in her illustrations. I love mixture of old and new which she incorporates. Below I have featured just a few of her illustrations -  Book Cover, Vintage Cameras, Cat Tote Bag and Sloth. To view more of her work, you can visit Kim's website.

Hope you enjoy!

Can you believe a whole month has passed already?! Here is some Sail & Swan love coming your way! My free July desktop background can be downloaded  here.

Hope you enjoy!
