I don't tend to write too much about my dayjob, preferring to keep my blog for other types of creative musings - although my job is very creative in a different way. However, on the last project I worked on, we had call for several images (60 to 70 was my brief!) to frame the walls of a marine biologist's house.
I wondered how I was going to get the right images without blowing the entire graphics budget through photo library costs! I turned to my blog friends Ginny and Diana, and asked if I could use some of their coastal/nature images (mixed with a few of my own).
It was a lovely to collaborate with them, as the images complimented each other, and it did seem believable that they could have all been taken by the same character.
As a 'thank you' I decided to order some Moo mini cards for Ginny with her images on, and her blog address on the back. Diana had already ordered some cards for herself, so instead I made a little patchwork collage of the images she allowed us to use, and framed it as a gift.
I also ordered myself a pack of Moo mini cards... just because!
Thankyou sweetmyrtle and pebbledash - I hope you don't feel too exploited - and we shall see the result this autumn on BBC1!
Oh this looks so lovely! Shame on me for not having blogged about it already. Really, I felt so honoured to be asked, and so thrilled to receive my mosaic. Thank you, Caireen! And I certainly don't feel exploited (excited : yes!)
