diversity in unity

At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.

sharing a bit of bliss

a thing of beauty is a joy forever
- John Keats



Allan Chalmers once said, that the grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. I find happiness when i indulge in my passion for creating beautiful works of art --- paintings, invitations, beaded whimsies, websites, you name it. From my heart to my hands, the bliss of creating a thing of beauty infuses every piece with the same love that inspired it.

Welcome to my design studio. Take a look around, I hope you like what you see.

peony

"When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it,
it's your world for the moment.
I want to give that world to someone else.
Most people in the city rush around so,
they have no time to look at a flower.
I want them to see it whether they want to or not."

- Georgia O'Keeffe

poppies in red

"The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions—the little soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment in the disguise of a playful raillery, and the countless other infinitessimals of pleasurable thought and genial feeling."

transcendence

"Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self`s actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself..."

testimonials

a few testimonials from satisfied clients:

from malou -

I had something in mind, but I just couldn't find the right words,
right materials, the exact way of executing. My little home in
cyberspace has over time in numerous ways changed its looks, but
somehow it just didn't satisfy my craving for clean and class.

One day. I found the courage to email pat. Her designs are classy. It
has an edge over the others. Not only that she can deliver swiftly.

I gave her my color preference, but she gave me something that
reflected my personality. My home now in cyberspace is really Home. I
like staring at it all the time. It is so soothing and inviting.

Thank you pat for being the creative mind to my plain twisted
imagination of how mybitofearth should look like.

How do you do that? I mean, how do you know exactly what my type is? I love damasks, and those swirls are what I was hoping to come out! It's so cute how they peak out when you change from tab to tab :P And the colors are perfect!

It's been so nice working with you too. Thank you so much for my theme.

the honour of your presence

the invitation is the first hint you give your guests as to what kind of wedding you are planning. the choice of paper, font, colors, and style all combine to evoke a mood. is your wedding going to be grand? romantic? funky? modern? whatever the style, make yours truly special by ordering one-of-a-kind invitations designed by an artist.

i love working with paper! and i love creating affordable works of art. that's what my invitations are. so don't just send an invitation, send a work of art.

email me for rates and other details.

symphony

"God comes to us in theater in the way we communicate with each other, whether it be a symphony orchestra, or a wonderful ballet, or a beautiful painting, or a play. It's a way of expressing our humanity. "
