Working With + For Betty's Divine on the Hip Strip

I have been lucky enough to be doing freelance graphic design/+ other work for Aimee at Betty's Divine. I just finished some matchbook designs and a flyer for an upcoming Pop-Up Collective Sale.  I've also been slowly working on a set of four paper maché mounts - a bear, a ram, a bison, + a moose.

A Wedding in June with Jewelry, Handmade

I ordered our wedding rings from a shop on Etsy.  Everything will be handmade by myself or friends and family.  I just didn't have a person to make our bands, so I thought that Etsy would be just as good of an option.  They were handmade in Australia with love and care and they are perfect for us, made of recycled silver.

I'm also making jewelry for all of the ladies attending the wedding.  We won't be having the traditional bridal parties so I wanted to make every guest feel special and to let them know that they are part of the wedding as well.

Hip Strip Mural, Missoula, MT

 

I will be installing a wheat paste mural of my design of the Hip Strip Chick, AKA "Myrtle Higgins" (two names of Streets located in the Hip Strip district of Missoula) in late May/early June.  That is if it goes through with it's final approval through the City Council.

Hiking/Exploring More Trails

 

Jake & I are now hiking 2 times a week. It's hard to get the initial motivation, but once I'm out there I love being outside on a hillside. I can feel myself and my endurance getting stronger.  I've really been inspired to hike as many miles as I can.

Re-branding, Part 1 of 2015 (The Year of Changes)

I have always used my full name as my business name for all things art.  Well, in less than 6 months I am changing my last name as I get married and I will also be changing my business name.  I will go from Amber Prouty and Amber Prouty Art to Amber Flaherty and Amber+Honey art.  This is an important step in branding my art and growing my business.  I will now be posting on this blog instead of my tumblr blog.  https://www.tumblr.com/blog/amberprouty
