CKCreations One Year Anniversary + Calligraphy Workshop

April 4, 2018 Christin King

a sparkly, rosy dream. a night to remember.

The sweetest January night I will ever have was made even sweeter by the friends and new friends who commemorated my first calligraphy workshop. The joining together of many female power forces made this event something to behold. I will try to capture the details as best as I can so you can feel the magic too.

Making Waves for Alaia Creative

March 27, 2018 Christin King

COASTAL COLOR SCHEME FOR ALAIA CREATIVE

Branding come to life from one start-up artist to another

As promised, I am continuing to blog more this year to bring you exclusive details about all of my design processes. As I just finished, Hannah's logo iterations today I thought I would write a post while it is still fresh in my mind. 

 

This coastal queen found her love of the beach while attending college in Wilmington, NC. It was there she discovered her passion for a special process of painting known as Resin Art. This type of art yields from the far away land of Australia and while it is taking over the down-under continent it has yet to be popularized in America. Hannah hopes to accomplish just that.  Resin is the process of glazing and sealing wood for surfboards. Hannah takes this process and creates beautiful seaside abstracts that can be brought to the home or commercially, for a fellow lover of the coast.

 

I had a chance to connect with this fellow girlboss over coffee and discuss how we could use her story and her process to create branding that tells the same story. A feeling of the coast but also a creative company in the making. We collaborated on a few ideas in person and in a pinterest board where I took her inspiration and created several looks for her to choose between as well as a color scheme fit for the sea. 

Check out these iterations below. Which one is your favorite?

“Christin is professional, timely and SUPER talented. She hand painted over 150 sea shells for our beach wedding in 2016, and they have been such a fun and personal keepsake that our guests still bring up 3 years later. Hire her, to add a personal artists touch to your wedding.”

-CAMILLA JOHNSON, CK BRIDE

Testimonials

“Christin went above and beyond to make our wedding day feel complete with the perfect personal touches. She made a chalkboard sign for our ceremony with our wedding party listed since we decided against programs, and directional signs for our ceremony and cocktail hour locations. She was willing to work off of some photos I found on Pinterest, but I felt confident in giving her free reign with what she felt looked the best - and I'm glad I did! She had her own supplies and a few chalkboards that she let us use for the occasion - which was great since it saved us from having to buy our own for a single use! She's professional, so easy to work with (which is a huge plus during what can be a stressful time) and a complete sweetheart. We were lucky to have her as one of our vendors and highly recommend!”

- JESSICA ROGERS, CK BRIDE

Testimonials

“Christin is AWESOME. She did a LOT of lettering for our wedding, including chalkboards, table numbers, table lists, and other personal touches. She was super easy to get in contact with and bounce ideas off of. She was also able to help us design some printed items and got them printed for us, too...which was SO helpful! She is literally human sunshine and I was so happy to have her on my team!”

-ABBEY MAXWELL, CK BRIDE

Testimonials

“Christin really helped make our vision for our wedding come to life. She is willing to do whatever it takes to make your design dreams come true- from taking a trip to a craft store with you to pick out the perfect signs to use, to hand-making quality favors for each of your guests. She truly is a one-stop shop when it comes to weddings- we loved her work on our Save the Dates, invitations, wedding day programs, signs, decor, and favors. There really isn't anything she can't do. I recommend her to everyone I know who is getting married!”

-EMILY MCWHIRTER, CK BRIDE

Testimonials

“Christin did a wonderful job hosting a watercolor class for our friend group! Her teaching style is down to earth and she made everyone feel included, while also giving each of us the chance to embrace our individuality. I can’t wait to frame the piece I walked away with! I’m looking forward to seeing how Christin’s business grows!”

- QUINN OSTENDARP

“Christin has been a dream to work with! I worked with her to make some custom Christmas party invitations and they totally exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to send them out to everyone! I will definitely be using Christin again!!”

Testimonials

“We did a workshop with House of Hops for Mother’s Day. No one in my family is artistically talented, yet our paintings turned out amazing and we had the BEST time creating them. Highly recommend”

- KATHARINE WAREN

Testimonials

“Christin is amazing!! She painted my pup and her work was sooooo beautiful! She really captured the life of Mako, by seeking out Mako’s Instagram and pulling pictures from their to really take hold of Mako’s true character!
Mako tends to take pictures with a serious nature because she’s focused on treats or the task at hand, but Christin was able to take a random photo of mako smiling and a properly posed photo of Mako and combine the two, giving me a well painted water color of Mako! She was tongue out, wide eyed and full of energy! She even got Mako’s signature bandana and one of my favorites at that!!

Obviously she’s a one woman show so time is going to be a constraint on her, so bare with her when she’s busy, but she’s dedicated to making sure you love the outcome! She’s also super sweet and got a wonderfully and inviting personality! Like she’s your been your best friend your whole life! Working with Christin, on Mako’s Watercolor has been a great experience and I’ll definitely use her again!

Thanks again Christin! Can’t wait to frame Mako’s painting!!”

- KELLIE MCDONALD

Testimonials

“We trusted CK Creations to create a new logo/Brand for our business and she DELIVERED. This was a big investment for our small business and we are so thankful for Christin’s dedication to make our dream a reality! She was willing to meet with us multiple times and really listened to our vision. The final product exceeded our expectations! Thanks to Christin we now have a brand we are proud of. I would highly recommend working with her and we will definitely go CK first for future design projects.”

-SARAH MOODY, TRIANGLE POP UP

Testimonials

“My friend Crystal had Christin create a watercolor portrait for us as a wedding gift and we are BEYOND obsessed!!!!! I have gotten so many compliments on the piece! I loved it so much that I decided to do the same thing for a friend of mine for her wedding gift! Christin really pays attention to the details of the pictures you send her and really makes an effort to include all of that in her paintings - from hair color & style to prints on dresses/clothing. I love her abstract, unique style! She is ridiculously talented and not to mention SO sweet and accommodating! You can tell she really enjoys/loves what she does and loves making her customers happy!!! Thank you Christin!”
