VOL.25

Save $10! Vol.25 Valentine's sale is live!

Good morning! How are you today? It's 6:01 AM and I've already had 2 cups of coffee... so I'm doing pretty great! ;) We received more snow last night, so Jaydon had to wake up early (at 4 am) to get to the school early enough to remove snow before the kids start showing up. I always wake up with him, and we try to carve out at least 5-10 minutes to sit with our coffee and visit. I always look forward to that time with him... and it is totally worth waking up early for. I always heat up... Read more →

New Customizable Art for Valentines Day

Blush - customizable art print Love Birds Customizable Art print by Vol25 I just listed two new customizable art prints in VOL25. They were fun to work on, and I hope you love them! I wanted to create some new art in time for Valentines day, and these should do quite nicely. Perfect for gift giving, gift suggesting... you know? So I realized yesterday that we have had snow for 6 weeks. Our driveway is currently a mess. My parents haven't been able to get up their driveway for quite some time and I think that my dad and Jaydon... Read more →

New art + a feature!

"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change" I just listed it in the shop riiight here. Changing the way we perceive a situation can really change how we are able to deal with it. I've never wanted to be considered a pessimist, but unfortunately it is a real effort sometimes to always find the good in things. I've realized though, that the people that are able to do that on a regular basis are the people I most enjoy being around. I think it is a good trait to strive for! :)... Read more →

New art! Rose Study Vintage Inspired Science Poster

I have been a fan of David Austin roses for a couple of years now, but still don't have any of my own yet. I have a place already planned in my garden for them though... so it is just a matter of building the boxes and ordering the roses. :) Because there are so many other things on the priority list (building a duck house/tool shed!) this is not something I see happening anytime soon. To help curb my craving for some of these roses to call my own, I decided to illustrate some to get me by. :)... Read more →

New Art- I love gardening sow much

I was inspired to create some gardening themed art a couple of weeks ago. This led to the creation of the 4 new works that you see here in this blog post. :) I Love Gardening by VOL25 I only just now finally listed them in my etsy shop. Cosmos are one of my favorite flowers, and after finishing the above piece of art- I decided I needed to create a science poster with some colorful Cosmos. I just love how feathery and delicate the "leaves" are. Hope to get that finished this month sometime! Tools Of The Trade by... Read more →

New Art- Mistakes Are Proof That You Are Trying

"Mistakes Are Proof That You Are Trying" by Vol25 I'd like to say that I never have to remind myself of that... but I'm human and make my share of mistakes. Usually a little more so then not, and especially when stepping out of my comfort zone. Did I mention that my comfort zone is a very small bubble? hah hah A few weeks ago, we made a really big step out of our comfort zone and have begun eating a very low carb, high fat diet. No more processed foods and avoiding sugar. The plan is more commonly known... Read more →

New Art - All We Need Is Love & Coffee

All We Need Is Love & Coffee by Vol25 I finished up my first new design for 2015! I sat down with my notebook and sketched out 9 new designs so I should have a steady stream coming. I always tend to be really inspired the first of the year. I think most people are. The start of a new year just seems so refreshing. Plus, I think I'm sub-consciously putting off doing my taxes... so I get my best ideas this time of the year! :) Although, my goal is to have them DONE by mid February at the... Read more →

New! Holiday themed wall hangings- in limited supply

Hello guys! How are you doing? I hope you are really great! So, last week I was a little bummed that I hadn't created a holiday themed Science poster... and I was just simply out of time. Another year gone by, and still no Holiday poster. >Insert sad face< But Friday I began thinking about the idea again, and decided that if I really pushed I could still get something up. I already had some holly, berries, and poinsetta's I had illustrated in photoshop. But, I just couldn't get inspired enough to make them work. I wasn't happy with it,... Read more →

Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself - new print!

Beauty Begins by vol.25 I was inspired today to work on the text version of the Anemone Science poster. I just finished listing it in the shop, and I also listed this: The print version of "Anemone Study Vol.1" Science poster. I also listed the Anemone design on two throw pillows in the Volume Twenty Five Apparel + Etc. shop!
