hello lions,
we want to give something away in 2010. so, what do you want? swag? services? lunch?

let us know- here, on Twitter or Facebook.

also, a little about us: dandyLion began asĀ  indieLion and morphed from dindieLion. kitschy maybe but we like it. when you’re with dandyLion, you are welcomed, accepted and supported- despite family dynamics or other social issues + injustices you may face.

love is all you need.

wishing you a happy new year!

flourish paperie custom stationery

hello lions!

for our local nashville feature, i’m excited to introduce lynn d’amico from flourish paperie. she has more than 10 years experience as a graphic designer and has enjoyed the opportunity to translate that into paper designs.

she doesn’t reuse concepts so her wedding invitations and stationery are truly custom. she loves to create texture, using different teas and coffees for tone, fades and ink smears. she also hand tears or cuts every piece of stationery. that is love- it brings meaning to the paper to know each item of your wedding set was personally handled with care.

one of the spectacular details she employs is quilling. she says it’s like illustrating with color, which she can customize to match your wedding palette.

i was really drawn to her work because of this raised structure- it’s architecture for your paper. it is very sturdy and won’t be damaged in the mail!
