Working on this. I've been playing around with watercolors and my illustrations...still needs some work.

Ceremonie Tea: Follow-up information...

In regards to the last blog, I finally found where these can be purchased online. It wasn't easy, as far as I can tell by what I've read, Ceremonie Tea is a brand new company and who knows how much they have expanded so far! The site Ceremonietea.com doesn't work correctly at the moment.



Ceremonie Tea Series...


Ceremonie Tea Series..., originally uploaded by RuthieDesigns.

I LOVE this package design for the series of "Ceremonie Teas" by Danny Goldberg studio from Tel Aviv. It's beautiful, simple and very colorful - which draws me right in to take a look at what the product is! It also has some great flavors!

Another unique design for your home...


This beautiful print is by Stephanie Specht, an artist from Antwerp, Belgium. There are only 100 of these prints, and they were just for sale on Tuesday at TinyShowcase.com. Sorry folks, apparently these sold out super fast. They were only 20 dollars! Beautiful work Stephanie! This work really inspires me...

My latest print is here...

I promised I would finish it, and it is here! It's not exactly how I was planning to use watercolors in the background, but I liked the way it turned out... You can also have your own copy of this print by going here or leave me a comment here!

Modern Bookshelves by Stanislav Katz


If you are looking for a stylish bookshelf with function for your home or office, this truly stunning and modern book shelf with a built in bench is what you want! It has a sleek design and enough room for many books. I don't really know how ergonomic this bench really is, but beauty and comfort don't always go hand in hand! We can thank Stanislav Katz from Latvia for this beautiful design!

back to working on stuff.

So I remembered that a couple of months ago, I made these sketches... and now and then I keep thinking of them. So, I've decided to work more with them, but I want to keep the sketch and use watercolors in the background (only not uniform to the sketch) for color and playfulness! We'll see how these turn out down the road!
