This is my first blog and I am happy to announce I have just launched my online shop STUDIO TULLIA on ETSY.  If you need a Mother’s Day Card or a hand-crafted party favor please visit: www.studiotullia.etsy.com  There are only 6 items for sale as of today, but when you have three year old twins and are able to find some time to yourself, husband willing, nothing seems trivial.  It is a start. I am hoping this blog will motivate me to be creative, to wake up my mind, which has been in baby land since my children were born in April of 2007.   I hope to share my thoughts and inspiration with a budding audience  in exchange for insight, resources and great ideas.  I chose the image of the flowers for my first post because they are PINK and because it feels like SPRING.  And, I dedicate my new beginning with STUDIO TULLIA to my daughter.    I shot this image the other day with my iphone while we were on a walk.  My daughter,  like  many other girls her age,  really loves the color PINK.  She has been my biggest fan so far as she has managed to discover many objects that I had made a few years ago while I was developing the concept of STUDIO TULLIA.  She has found three pillows that I made in the garage which are all very little girl-like. I am not sure who I made them for, maybe my two young nieces, but for some reason I kept them. Now it seems as if I had made them specifically for her all along.   Maybe I had. Maybe they were the pillows I wanted to give to my daughter, which I had wanted for so many years before having, and I just never admitted it to myself.   It has been quite awhile now since she has found them and she still seems quite comforted by them.  She has come across some of the cards I have made in my studio and has been quickly drawn into the details and sparkle from the vintage glass glitter.  She knows they are special, has been given a few, and seems to really enjoy them. From as far back as I can remember she has had a keen eye for fashion, color, and details and I actually really respect her opinion.   So, thanks to my dear daughter, in part, I am reigniting STUDIO TULLIA this Spring.  And we all know that Spring in Portland is a magical thing.
