Here is one of those books I poured my heart into. It was a custom guestbook for Isabelle Marie's hummingbird baptism or christening party, matching her <a href="http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.ro/2016/03/hummingbird-invitations-invitatii.html" target="_blank">hummingbird invitations</a>.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>{RO} Aceasta este una dintre cartile de oaspeti la care am lucrat cu multa pasine. A fost realizata pentru botezul lui Isabelle Marie si se assorteaza cu <a href="http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.ro/2016/03/hummingbird-invitations-invitatii.html" target="_blank">invitatiile ei de botez</a>.</i><br />
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Her theme was hummingbird and florals and her colours were pink and gold. Being given creative freedom I could dive into this project and make it truly unique: vintage gold metallic pages and the hummingbird and floral theme carried through to the inside of the covers with some gold stamping and heat embossing, using the same stamps I used for the <a href="http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.ro/2016/03/hummingbird-invitations-invitatii.html" target="_blank">envelope liners</a>. Here is a close up of the lovely raised image embossed on the inside covers.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>{RO} Tematica botezului a fost pasarea colibri impreuna cu elemente florate, iar culorile predominante rozul si auriul. Faptul ca mi-am putut exprima liber creativitatea a ajutat enorm la reaizare aunui proiect cu adevarat unic. Pentru pagini am folosit hartie metalica aurie, apoi am introdus motivul colibri si pe copertile interioare, imitand interiorul <a href="http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.ro/2016/03/hummingbird-invitations-invitatii.html" target="_blank">plicurilor invitatiilor</a>.</i><br />

{RO} Aceste invitatii cu tema colibri sunt unul din modelele mele preferatele mele din 2015, de aceea voi mai vorbi despre ele in 2 articole viitoare.<br />

I made these beautiful for Isabelle Marie's christening. (can anyone enlighten me with the correct term? My USA custommers call it <i>'Baptism'</i> while those in UK call it <i>'Christening</i>'.<br />
<br />
Part of the merit for the design belongs to Alice, Isabelle's mother who is very creative herself (I will tell you more about it in a future post). She managed to explain what she wanted while giving be enough creative liberty so that I could do my best work possible.<br />
<br />
The reason I love this invitation so much is that it allowed me to showcase my passion for watercolor. I started with the watercolor illustration of a hummingbird and fuchsia. This is all it's left of it now, but I did manage to clean it in Photoshop.<br />
<br />

{RO} Am creat aceste frumoase invitatii pentru botezul lui Isabelle Marie. Un mare merit in realizarea lor il are mama ei. Pe langa faptul ca e la randul ei o persoana foarte creativa, Alice a stiut sa-mi indice ceea ce dorea, lasandu-mi totodata libertate creativa.<br />
<br />
In plus, am avut ocazia sa-mi manifest pasune apentru acuarela ilustrand pasarea colibri. Doar asta a mai ramas acum din biata mea ilustratie. Din fericire am reusit sa o curat in Photoshop.<br />

The initial design didn't have the wax seal, but I thought it would bring an extra element of interest, plus you can make it your own by customizing the wax seal. I would probably still go with the simple envelope for a christening invitation.<br />
I also changed the initial plain envelopes with higher quality ribbed ones.<br />
<br />
{RO} Modelul initial nu avea sigiliul de ceara roz, insa mi se pare ca-i aduce un plus de farmec. Probabil pentru un botez as prefera plicul fara sigiliu.<br />
De asemenea am inlocuit plicurile cu unele de calitate superioara si o textura fina cu dungulite.<br />

I started this blog in 2007 as a way to share my crafting and card making with friends across the globe. I still love the things I was making back then. However I wasn't happy to call myself a crafter. I wanted to be an artist and believed that as an artist you have yo be able to draw. I knew I had it in me. I just had to practice, learn and practice some more.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here I am, 9 years later, having turned that initial hobby into a full time business and after some formal training and continuous informal learning, finally being able to call myself an ARTIST.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of all this story, the most important lesson I want to share with you all is to FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS, WORK HARD, and while you may not end up rich, your life will be filled with the joy of DOING WHAT YOU LOVE EVERY DAY.</div>

<br />
Am inceput sa scriu acest blog in 2007 ca mijloc de a-mi impartasi pasiunea pentru handmade cu prieteni din lumea larga. Si azi iubesc felicitatile si lucrusoarele pe care le faceam atunci, dar in sufletul meu stiam ca vreau sa fiu mai mult decat un artizan, ca vreau sa ma numesc 'artist'.<br />
<br />
In mintea mea un artist plastic trebuie sa stie desena, lucru pe care m-am straduit sa-l invat si sa-l exersez anii astia, fie mergand la Scoala Populara de Arte, fie participand la diferite cursuri online.<br />
<br />
Intre timp am reusit sa-mi transform hobby-ul in afacere, crescandu-mi in acelasi timp cei doi baieti si crescand eu insami ca artist, astfel incat azi ma pot numi fara umbra de ezitare 'ARTIST PLASTIC'.<br />
<br />
Lectia pe care vreau sa v-o impartasesc din toata povestea aceasta este ca, daca aveti un VIS, sa indrazniti sa-l urmati, MUNCIND DIN GREU si, chiar daca nu va veti imbogati din asta, FIECARE ZI VA FI O PLACERE iar MUNCA va deveni ODIHNA.<br />

I know I said I'm taking a break from posting, but I'm full of fresh new year energy and my little one has given me back my working nights. Oh, I can't explain enough what a joy this is! Does that make me workaholic?<br />
<br />
Anyway, one of my goals for 2016 is to process a new design every week and post it in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/InvitatiiCouture" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a> my website, and social media so I thought I could take an extra 10 minutes to update this blog as well.<br />
<br />
I am getting a lot of request for this color combination, maybe with the addition of silver for wedding invitations.<br />
What are your colors for spring 2016?<br />

I was washing dishes tonight while listening to <a href="http://www.marieforleo.com/" target="_blank">Marie TV</a> when I made the decision to post this announcement. The simple thought of it felt so liberating so I know it's the right thing to do. I'm not going anywhere, just taking this burden off my shoulders until blogging feels part of me once again.<br />
<br />
The truth is I haven't been present here on the blog for 2 1/2 years since my second son was born and with it my life changed immensely. I tried to schedule one post per week or at least one post per month. I even set a phone reminder that went off every Saturday night. Nevertheless, it didn't happen and the guilt kept adding up.<br />
<br />
Instead I have been very present on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/invitatiicouture/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> lately where I can quickly post a snapshot of what I am working on, mostly watercolor painting and some of my couture invitations.<br />
You can also find me on Facebook where I have a personal page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/meda.halmaciu" target="_blank">Meda Halmaciu</a> and a business page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/invitatii.couture" target="_blank">Invitatii Couture</a>. And lastly I have <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/InvitatiiCouture" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a> where you can purchase some of my invitations and where I will hopefully add more designs in the future.<br />
<br />
I hope I will see you all there, or you can still contact me by e-mail.<br />

Autumn. That time of the year when the light changes and the leaves start turning yellow and red and brown and purple. I could play with these forever.<br />

Here is one of my rustic invitations adapted for a fall wedding. I thought I would post them before they get abandoned on a computer drive. Which one is your favorite?<br />

Hello everyone. That is if anyone is still there. Life has changed a lot here since Eduard was born and blogging time has been cut to zero although I am trying to get back to it and keep in touch with all of you.<br />
<br />
You can follow me on my <a href="https://instagram.com/invitatiicouture/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> though. It's easier to upload from my phone and I post almost daily.<br />
<br />
On to today's post. I have been receiving lots of orders for guest books and albums lately.<br />

This one is a sunflower wedding album, 25x30cm.<br />
<br />
The greatest challenge was to make it "rustic" as my client requested since I am inclined to make everything on the elegant side. The burlap ribbon helped achieve this look as well as the craft paper pages.<br />
<br />
The cover was hand painted with acrylic paint. Luckily Iona, my 4-year-old has a set as my black color had caught mold.<br />

I was told the bride to be and everyone present at the bridal shower loved it, so I guess my 3 days of work were worth it.<br />

I love skies. I like to watch their ever changing splendor through my large living room windows. However, when it comes to painting them, I am terrible. In fact I am terrible at landscape painting altogether so I decided to take an <a href="https://www.arttutor.com/" target="_blank">online class</a>.<br />
<br />
I have to tell you it looks much easier than it actually is. I just can't seem to produce a proper looking sky using ultramarine blue and raw sienna so last night after another failure, I decided to take the reference photo and listen to my inner voice, use the colors that I like and see what happens. It couldn't be worse that the first trial. Even if it didn't look like the reference photo, it would at least be nice and vibrant so I went with the phtalo blue.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is a paint in progress photo. The colors are altered by my ceiling light, but you can see my point.<br />
<br />

And this is the final result. I'd like to hear your opinion. Which one do you prefer?<br />
<br />
I haven't written this post to showcase my horrible landscapes. I wanted to share my experience and tell you to let go. Stop trying to be perfect, you will become better with practice. Instead, try finding your own voice. Experiment with the colors you like, don't think about not ruining it. We are not all meant to paint landscapes like Turner. By doing this you will set your mind free and you will find the joy of painting which will hopefully lead you into painting again tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Another mistake I have been making is to paint too rarely not only from lack of time but also fro making things too complicated and expecting too much from my paintings. I am hoping to change this with my new mind set.<br />
<br />
How about you? Please share your experience with your art, your frustrations and how you overcome them. Did you find your own voice or you are still on the look?<br />

About 10 years ago when I realized I will never become bored of making stationery and working with paper and embellishments I also realized if I wanted to call myself an artist I needed to learn how to draw and paint.<br />
<br />
And so I did. I still have a long way to go. Between custom invitations and family it's hard to find time to practice. However, my current long term objective is to be able to provide custom stationery based on my own illustrations. Here is an example.<br />
<br />
Denisa, one of the brides I worked with for her wedding invitations wrote me to ask for a special pregnancy announcement. She wanted the box in a box idea and showed me an example but I thought I needed something more original than a paper diaper in a little box. So she came up with the family tree idea. Of course I could have used a stock image but I saw this as a challenge to paint it myself.<br />

I think this would make a great scroll invitation. First time I actually embrace the idea of a scroll invitation so if anyone (e.g. Elaine) is interested din scroll invitations from Invitatii Couture, I finally have a signature design that I don't feel like it's somebody else's concept.<br />

I hope you enjoyed this insight into my process.<br />
It was a time consuming project that has taught me a lot, although the final result might not look like something very complicated.<br />
When you make the effort to draw your own illustration you really start appreciating all the artwork there is on the web and have much more respect and consideration for the artists by asking permission and/or buying a licence for using them. This way you encourage them to make some more and help them make a living out of their talent.<br />
<br />
More on art as a profession with another occasion. Have a great Sunday!</div>

<b>ICE CRYSTAL INVITATION</b><br />
<br /></div>
With its muted palette of metallic white-grey, silver and ice blue, this invitation has been a real heat.<br />
I may be discontinuing it for 2015 though or change the design a bit.<br />

<b>BLUE SNOWFLAKE INVITATION 5X7</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This one is a one time invitation. Inspired by the Ice Crystal design above, I was asked to make it 5x7 for cheaper mailing and I also added this delicate lacy snowflake.<br />
Unfortunately the die only performed well on the first few cuts, that it was a pain to cut through the approx. 100 snowflakes I needed.<br />
I can't remember who makes it. I will have to look on the label and come back. Anyway, it's beautiful and can be great for card making. I think I only payed £5 for it. I'd rather pay more and get longer life for my dies though. Personally I prefer the deeper blade dies that come with ejection foam like the old cuttlebug dies or some of the sizzix.<br />

<b>MORE BEADED STATIONERY</b></div>
<br />
These are just some of the designs I made while working on other custom orders.<br />
My best ideas come from the messiest creative chaos. Take that away and you leave me without my source of inspiration which is almost my current state after giving up my rented studio space and moving back home with work. Luckily I still have lots of unexplored ideas. More about that in a future post.<br />

Then I listed it in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/InvitatiiCouture" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a>. And then I made some more. I only have some ugly photos I took with my phone (which is a great phone otherwise) but I still wanted to share.<br />

This was another <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/InvitatiiCouture" target="_blank">Etsy</a> order I had the pleasure of working on. The invitation is not new but the challenge was to make the information fit on the enclosure cards.<br />
Ana wanted two cards but I couldn't fit the accommodation information on the Directions cards without spoiling the layout.<br />
<br />
The accommodation info said "Your room has been reserved for you" which gave me the idea of making the cards like they were some hotel keys. The bride loved it and I loved being able to infuse some creativity in my work. Things like this can make me happier than $1000 which is why I am such a lousy business person :)<br />

Winter is almost over so I thought I would say goodbye to it by showing you my collection of <i>Winter Wonderland</i> or <i>Frozen</i> theme invitations. I sure made lots of them this winter thanks to <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2294629/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">Disney's beautiful movie</a>.<br />
<div>

It all started 2 years ago with <a href="http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.ro/2012/12/winter-wonderland-wedding-invitations.html" target="_blank">my friend's Raluca's wedding</a>. Read the story about her invitations <a href="http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.ro/2012/12/winter-wonderland-wedding-invitations.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Not too many people get married in winter so she made a real impression.<br />

I made the same design for baby baptism this year.<br />

I made these in full summer. That was when I realized not only Australia but also Brasil had winter when we had summer.<br />
<br />
The pictures don't show their real beauty.<br />
Each page was painted with two shades of shimmery watercolors, then we added white glitter for extra sparkle.<br />

Same treatment for the snowflakes.<br />
There is something zen about making invitations by hand. I mean really by hand not like printing a full color invitation and tying a bow on it.<br />

Working with Ailin was such a wonderful experience. She was one of those non-Bridezillas who know what they want, yet they give you breathing space, who have a clear deadline but they don't e-mail you every day to see how their order goes. Thank you, Ailin, I will always treasure making these for you.<br />

Here is what I started from. Mixing beads is even better than mixing paint. That is why I am a stationery artist, not a painter :)<br />

Happy new year!<br />
<br />
With the Disney "Frozen" movie being so en vogue right now, the winter season caught me making winter wonderland invitations and matching guestbooks which I really enjoyed. Although they were all going in different places and they were ordered about the same time, I couldn't make them identical and I still have a few ideas left.<br />
<br />
This first guestbook was made for a wedding in Paris. My heart is with you Ailin, and with everyone in France living under terror after the recent attacks. May God protect you from any harm.<br />

<br />
On a more personal note, the beginning of the year found me setting goals and making plans.<br />
One of them regards this blog which has been much neglected from lack of time and will.<br />
I was wondering, should I continue posting, is anyone still following? Anyway I am going to try and post at least 3 times per month if not for anything else, for practicing discipline.<br />
<br />
What would you like to read about?<br />
<br />
I can't do videos. I lack the technology and the will to learn how to do it.... for now.<br />
I have also decided to step back on card making.<br />
I still make wedding invitations, but that isn't coming easy in lack of a messy creative space. Renting a studio had become too expensive so I decided to work from home in order to give more time and attention to my family.<br />
<br />
In exchange I have got back to fine art. Whether it's a large mixed media canvas or an online watercolor course, I find myself often with a brush and pain in my hands. My older son, Iona, seems to be following in my footsteps which makes my heart sing with joy.<br />
<br />
...wow, that was a long post. I really missed you. Have a lovely 2015.</div>

Some cotton flower invitation ideas. These are not finished invitations, just ideas or '<i>SKETCHES</i>' how I like to call them, but I love the idea so much I decided to share it with you.<br />

E vara. Si dupa mai bine de un an ma bucur din nou de o colectie de invitatii finalizata, aranjata frumos si fotografiata si de o postare pe masura.<br />
<br />
De la nastera lui Eduard totul a fost doar alergare, oboseala, somn intrerupt, incercare aproape inutila de a recupera ceva munca restanta in cele 3 ore cat doarme in patut fara mine.<br />
<br />
Iata invitatiile lui Edwin si Andreei, un pilot si un designer vestimentar, niste oameni extraordinari care au facut ca intregul proces sa fie placut si relaxant.<br />

Cei doi au hotarat sa renunte la plicuri, dar pentru cei care trebuie sa le trimita prin posta am adaugat eu un plic pe care l-am desccoperit intamplator si care mi-a trezit brusc gustul pentru craft si natur, deci veti avea ocazia sa mai vedeti si alte creatii in acelasi stil country chic.<br />

Thus is my little corner of heaven. It's a place where I can be myself. A place where ideas emerge from everywhere I look, a place that calls me every time I am someplace else. Probably the reason for my not being a good christian. I don't long for heaven. Mine is already here.<br />
<br />
The table on the left is one of my inspiration tables. This is where ideas are born. It's where I put things that look well together for when I have time to complete a design.<br />
<br />
I bought a handful of fresh lavender bouquets from a gypsy lady outside my local Lidl today. My studio is filled with the scent of these lovely flowers. I initially bought them to have in stock for future<a href="http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.ro/2014/04/invitatii-ileana-cosanzeana.html" target="_blank"> lavender invitations</a>, but now they fill my heart with joy because they are beautiful, they smell good and they bring a new light to the studio.<br />
<br />
***************<br />
<br />
Pe romaneste, asa arata masa mea cu idei (una dintre ele) asa cum am lasat-o azi dupa-masa.<br />
Abia astept sa ma intorc luni la atelier. E coltul meu de rai. De asta nici nu pot fi un bun crestin, pentru ca eu nu tanjesc dupa alt rai decat cel pe care il am deja.<br />
<br />
Acolo nu trebuie sa fac pe plac nimanui. Acolo miroase frumos a lavanda pe care am cumparat-o de la o tiganca in parcarea Lidl. Initial m-am gandit sa o am pe stoc pentru alte <a href="http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.ro/2014/04/invitatii-ileana-cosanzeana.html" target="_blank">invitatii cu lavanda</a>, dar acum ma bucur ca miroase bine si ma inspira, pentru ca aduce o noua lumina in micul meu colt de rai. Nu am avut timp sa o aranjez in borcanase. Poate luni....</div>

Tocmai am pus un model nou pe Etsy si am dat o cautare sa vad cum se pozitioneaza.<br />
Printre altele ma paleste un model de invitatie foarte asemanator cu stilul meu. pentru ca e izbitor de asemanator, ma uit sa vad cine il produce. De aici totul se transforma intr-o mare de 'open link in new tab' pentru ca e plin de copii ale stilului meu de lucru.<br />
<br />
Ca sa nu lase urme de indoiala, mesajul ei de intampinare e IDENTINC cu al meu si e si romanca de-a noastra. Mi-e rusine. Azi e ziua mea, 4 iulie. Sunt mai mandra ca sunt nascuta de ziua Americii decat ca apartin unei tari ce poarta numele Romania. Si nu pot spune ca americanii sunt preferatii mei.<br />

Finally summer! Not only outside, but in my heart as well. After having<a href="http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.ro/2013/06/meet-eduard.html" target="_blank"> my second son</a>, life and work balance has been incredibly difficult to maintain, sometimes at the cost of my serenity. Tonight I am finally feeling in the mood to write on the blog.<br />
<br />
I haven't designed much in the past year. Probably because I am no longer offering it for free. I had to take this decision because my limited work schedule does not permit wondering about one concept for a full week like I used to. I still have soooo many designs I have never shown you, let alone new ideas of my own that I want to explore.<br />
<br />
This butterfly escort card is one of those designs that emerges when materials from 2 different projects meet.<br />
I really loved the fuchsia against this silver cardstock so I decided to make a fuchsia and silver version of my older ivory and pink butterfly escort card design.<br />

In sfarsit e vara, nu doar afara ci si in sufletul meu. Dupa <a href="http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.ro/2013/06/meet-eduard.html" target="_blank">nasterea lui Eduard</a><span id="goog_1469946168"></span><span id="goog_1469946169"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a> viata mea a luat-o la vale. Mi-a fost foarte greu sa mentin echilibrul intre munca si viata de zi cu zi. Asa se explica disparitia mea de pe blog. Noptile nu au mai fost ale mele sa pot scrie articole in liniste. Acum am cate trei ore seara si azi simt ca mi-am facut destula ordine in restul lucrurilor incat sa ma opresc putin aici.<br />
<br />
Modele noi nu prea am facut, poatesi din cauza ca timpul nu mai imi permite sa ofer design gratuit, dar am inca o multime de modele pe care nu am ajuns sa le public, ca sa nu ai vorbim de nenumaratele idei proprii pe care imi doresc sa le exporez.<br />
<br />
Aceste cartonase cu fluturasi s-au nascut intamplator. Aveam pe masa de lucru culoarea fuchsia si niste invitatii din carton argintiu impreuna cu varianta mai veche a cartonaselor ivoire si roz prafuit.<br />
<br />
Sper sa revin in curand cu alte intamplari fericite de pe masa mea de lucru.</div>

<br />
Pentru cei care nu stiu, in Brazilia e iarna. Am aflat si eu recent prin intermediul unei cliente care a cerut invitatii cu fulgi de nea pentru o petrecere care va avea loc in iunie.<br />
<br />
Paleta de culori: alb, argintiu, albastru inghetat, verde marin.<br />
Elementul inedit: fundalul a fost pictat manual cu acuarela, la fel si hartia din care au fost decupati fulgii, deci fiecare invitatie e unica.<br />
<br />
Va las cu cateva poze facute rapid in timpul procesului de design si productie.<br />
