Say It With Flours.

Hey,

So I am in need of a custom illustration/painting/drawing/sketch and am putting the feelers out into the blogosphere and to the twitterati in the hopes of finding someone to help me! I shall outlay all the deets here, and if you or someone you know may be interested then please do let me know:

Ok, so the image I have in mind is of ‘flour’ with a ‘flower’. I realise that this makes no sense whatsoever, so let give you some background! A dear friend of mine and I used to love a particular film whereby the guy woos the girl, who happens to be a baker, by giving her ‘flours’. We both thought this to be so romantic and always said how we wanted a guy who’d bring us ‘flours’. Well she has just gotten engaged, and I thought what better way to celebrate than by having a picture made for her that reminds her that her life will now always be full of ‘flours’.

The particulars that I have in mind are as follows:

* I want it to be quite small in size – I’m not set on a particular dimension, but I want to keep it cute (maybe around 6″ x 8″ or a little larger)

* enough of a border for me to be able to mount and frame it myself

* the ‘flour’ element could be a vintage bag of flour, or flour sack or planter, as long as it’s retro in style

* the’ flower’ element could be laying next to the flour, perhaps across a vintage dresser top, and would preferably be a rose

* vintage, retro and romantic are the look I want to emulate with the piece in both style and composition

I shall attach an inspiration image or two that I have come across to better illustrate than my ramblings ever can! I am open to all suggestions including layout/medium etc, as clearly I’m no artist and as long as it clearly includes both ‘flour’ and ‘flower’, then I’m sure it will be wonderful. Here though, is the kicker – the sordid topic of coin. It’s January, the world and it’s sister is broke and I have a million-and-one things to fund in the coming months. My friend is getting married in the Spring and I do really want to give her something special, but my budget is limited. I am again, open to all suggestions on a fee and am also willing to trade like for like (you make me something pretty, I’ll make something pretty for you!) and/or promote you and yours ad infinitum via my blog, Etsy, Twitter etc, etc – you get the point

So, if you think this little project may be something that you’d be interested in undertaking or you know someone who might, then please contact me in any of the following ways:
