Happy Holidays!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas
+
a fun and relaxing holiday season next to your loved ones! 

While in progress 🎅 

Fun fact: Most of my originals are the exact same size as my actual cards!
People often think that my originals are bigger! 

Forever in love

and after that we store them in my parents basement!

Illustrated Map of North America, my NSS mailer

A crop of my mailer for National Stationery Show.

It is done by gouache and is inspired by antique maps.

I tried to incorporate many of the characters and elements that were in my greeting cards and notepads, like the mermaid and sparkler, mangoes, florals,...and of course my signature clouds!

In progress

Working on new things under complete supervision of kitty boss! :D

Colors and mood

 Love to arrange groups of cards based on their colors and mood.

Florals

Back of one of the floral cards in my new collection.

This one is a cute little notepad!

Shop them all here.

Fortune Cookie

I usually sketch my idea several times until I get close to what I want;

then I scan my sketches and move them around in Photoshop for the

 perfect composition. When I'm super happy with everything, then I add color.

Birdies Birthday Card

Birdies are busy preparing for a birthday party!
 Another greeting card from my new collection.

JooJoo Paper Website

Hi guys! I was very quiet lately but a lot was going on behind the scenes!

We went to the National Stationery Show for the first time and launched out new product line.

We were also working on out website and it's live now.

 You can browse all the categories and shop too!

Check it out here.

I will show you some photos from the show in the next blog post.

Getting ready

These days I am pretty busy with preparing for The National Stationery Show.

Only 10 days to the date we leave for New York and I feel I totally underestimated the amount of work that was left to do :D Wish me luck!

Here are bits of pieces of my catalog shoot from a few days ago and the second photo shows my notepads in their packaging. I am very happy with how these notepads turned out. They come in 6 different floral designs.

Follow me on Instagram for more photos and behind the scenes! 

See you soon guys!

One of the walls

This is where I take all the shadow box photos for my parents Etsy shop Heezome. 👀

This one is a perfect home for my miniature matryoshka dolls.

Mermaid birthday

Another birthday card from my new collection 🌴

For the love of mermaids, sea and sparklers! 

Old Passport

My first passport with my mom and sister.

I was under one year old and my tongue is sticking out!

I guess it wasn't easy to take a baby passport photo! 

Old world

These days I find inspiration in the old-world. I love to use their design elements or
color palettes and come up with a fresh twist on them.

Doodle on banana

Doodled on banana and ate it too 🍌 

despite the fact that bananas make me itchy 😐

Easter eggs

Hope you had a great Easter weekend 🐣 I've covered these small eggs
with gold leaf. Love their contrast with plain white eggs. 

Booth walls

These are my booth walls, made by my talented dad.
Now we have to paint them and add shelves and signage/logo.

Almost 5 weeks to National Stationery Show.
We are planning to drive there and take these walls with us!

Bird of Paradise

A few favorites. 

I pressed those yellow flowers about 10 years ago,
they have extra long red stamens and yellow petals and are gorgeous when fresh.

I just googled and found out that their name is "Caesalpinia Gilliesii"!!

According to Wikipedia they are native to tropical America, mainly Argentina and Uruguay.
But I got them from Iran.

Birthday Cake

Soon to be a birthday card. It looks kind of empty right now but

lots of gold foil details will be added later.

Florals

A few botanical sketches

Ranunculus beauties,
a photo I took a few years ago around the same time of the year.

Tiny doodles

Water droplets on our window looked so pretty during sunrise that I had to take their photo 💦
Birdie is a pencil doodle and I Photoshopped it there.

What I found inside a fortune cookie
 +
 a little watercolor doodle I did while talking to my mom on the phone.

April Birthday

Happy Birthday to all born in April!

If you're an April girl you will love this song.

My Peacock Birthday card now has luxurious gold foil all over it.

More cards to come soon!

Mermaid on the map

This little mermaid is holding a sparkler which I still haven't finished painting

I have to confess that 80% of the time I paint in the kitchen.
Our kitchen is small but has a relatively big counter which
 is perfect for spreading stuff all over it.

 This is a fun invitation that I'm making for my upcoming Trade show
(The National Stationery Show).
