Coming soon to an Etsy near you... Ketchup



Here is a little sneak peek at my latest project. These bad boys are almost ready to go to be sold.  I'm doing a series of condiment tea towels that would be perfect for summer BBQs. Mustard is also on it's way. I'm hoping by Monday to have both of these for sale.

If you are interested in getting these before hand email me at amandaellenlesh@gmail.com. I'm selling them for $15 for a tea towel and $10 for a paper print. For a set of Mustard and Ketchup tea towels they will be $26.

Enjoy!

My Wedding Invites...Just a couple months late!




Finally here they are! I've been meaning to post these for months!  My wedding invites from last summer. Most brides stress over dresses and other frivolous things that come with weddings. I stressed over these! It took me a month or possibly longer to finalize these bad boys.  

I had probably 50 other options before these and none of them felt right. Being a designer I felt a lot of pressure to have bad ass wedding invites. Not only that but I really wanted invites that visually represented Cody and I.  After about two weeks of struggling I wanted to throw in the towel. I realized I was trying way to hard to design great invites and forcing trendy designs that just were not me. 

An amazing stoke of luck came when I was playing around with this fish hook pattern. My fiance, at the time, walked in and said "That looks cool!" Coming from this man that is a huge compliment. He never comments on my work because he says he's "artistically challenged." The rest just fell right into place.  

So here they are, my fly fishing and rose wedding invites. Letter pressed by Dunstan Press in Gorham, Maine.
