Etsy Shop Feature: Ornately Lanterns

As I was searching on Etsy for cute stuff for the garden, I found Ornately Lanterns and fell in love with this cat suncatcher glass block! The colors are so beautiful!! I love designs with cats with moons & stars, pretty sure it's due to my obsession with Sailor Moon. ;)

Clare handpaints lanterns, glass blocks, mason jars, and more! Here are a few more of my favorites, very very difficult just choosing a few.

The little cat lantern version. It's so pretty with a candle!

Elephants Painted Glass Block

Isn't this one awesome? She originally designed it for an Indian craft fair. I love the rich colors in this one.

And the last one I'm sharing... The Rainbow Farm Painted Glass Block is so cheery & adorable. I love all the little details in the valley and the vivid rainbow!

Do you like suncatchers as much as I do?! Check out the rest of her designs in her shop.

Watercolor Logos

I created these logos for a client that wanted a watercolor design such as flowers or a sun with a swirly font. I painted the watercolor by hand, scanned them, and made some adjustments in Photoshop.

When creating mockups, I like to stick to 1 or 2 ideas and modifying them a bit to show slightly different versions in design, colors, placement, or fonts. That way, they don't get overwhelmed by too many choices.

I try to combine all my ideal elements in just one logo. I'll add other possible options in the other version(s) so they can pick and choose what they like best from each one. However, usually the clients choose my favorite one with no modifications!

Questions:

Which one of these logos do you prefer and why?

Do you like hand-drawn or modern classic style logos for handmade businesses and creative bloggers?
