Summer time is all about the Rosé! Keep it chilled in your fridge or freeze it for some frozé, it's sure to delight either way!

You might have seen me post this original watercolor art on insta, and due to popular demand I have decided to offer it as a a print! The Yes Way Rosé is available framed or unframed, and I think it would be super cute by a styled bar cart.

All about the options... Yes Way Rosé is available in a 4"x4" print with matte framed in brushed metal, 8"x8" framed in brushed metal with no matte or just order the print and frame yourself!

May 11, 2017EventsKimberly HeimbachComment

Bring your mom, sister, bestie, daughter... Mom's night out in Chino tonight!

I will be live hand-lettering personalized names on watercolor prints of my original art for all the ladies. There will also be a photo booth, food samples, make-up tutorials and gift bags for the first 150 people! You could also get some shopping done or grab dinner, here is a full list of what the Chino Towne Center has to offer.

This will be my first time in Chino for an event, last month I was in Riverside for a similar event for Easter you can see photos of below. It was such a successful event I actually ran out of cards to paint. So that was 150 watercolor hand-lettered first names in less than 2 hours, wow!

If you are interested in having a live watercolor artist at your next event you can contact me here for a quote or email kimberly@ladyfolkstudio.com I offer three different approaches for live art: hand-lettering names of guests on printed cards, live fashion illustration of guests or a large scale watercolor painting of your event scene.

A Cinco De Mayo D.I.Y. Project!

May 3, 2017How-to, D.I.Y.Kimberly HeimbachComment

Cinco de Mayo, although one of the smaller holidays celebrated in Mexico, it is a huge celebration in the states for Mexican culture and heritage. In America this holiday has become synonymous with Margaritas, tacos and party sombreros!

History lesson for today: Cinco de Mayo officially celebrates the date of the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867).

A few weeks back I was commissioned to create a fun taco bar sign and fiesta welcome sign for a one-year-old's birthday. I was only asked to paint the watercolor sign but if you know me I had to take it a step further. You see I had all these fun poms poms in the studio just begging to get used!

This is a really easy Cinco de Mayo themed DIY project you can put together yourself or with the help of your kids. You only need a few items that can be easily ordered on Amazon. Side note: Anyone else an avid amazon prime member? Literally the best. thing. ever. If I come with a project idea it's so great that I can order the items and get them the next day. I usually throw a few other add-on items too, like dog food for Mr.Bailey or this blueberry coffee I wanted to try. Below are the items you will need to complete this project; pom poms, glue gun (I want this cordless one now!), glue sticks and a couple frames.

This DIY Cinco de Mayo project is so easy it doesn't even need more than 3 steps! Basically just prep your work area, pre-heat your glue gun, cover the art in your frame and get gluing those pom poms. See below for more tips and a video!

Cinco de Mayo D.I.Y. Project Steps

Prep your work area, I used a masonite board to work on but it could just be a your kitchen table covered by newspaper just make sure you have a non-melting surface to pre-heat the glue gun on.
Cover the art opening of your frame. I had an extra clear plastic cover on mine which you can't see in the video but make sure you don't miss this step. This is incase any glue happens to get on your artwork you can just remove the extra cover. You could use pretty much anything to protect the opening, foil or paper would work too.
Keep all your pom poms near by and act quickly to glue them. It doesn't require much glue to stick to the frame, basically just one dot per pom pom. I suggest putting the glue on the frame not the pom pom, then press the pom into the frame to secure and hold for a second.

Taco 'bout cute!

Love how adorable my sign came out for the photos at this one year old's birthday fiesta!

Follow Ladyfolk Studio on YouTube, more video content coming soon!

The birthday fiesta turned out so cute, LOVE the cake the one year old's mom made so I had to share! I also painted a custom watercolor welcome sign you can see below for the fiesta theme. If you are interested in custom signage for your party I offer a variety of items in the shop or you can contact me here for a custom request.

Hope this Cinco de Mayo D.I.Y. and fiesta theme inspired you to get creative and have a taco or two! So tell me, what are your fiesta plans for Cinco de Mayo? Share in the comments!
