Hello! My name is Deanne. I live in the beautiful mountainous area called Sevier County in Tennessee - East Tennessee. (:

I have had the fortune of living in such wonderful places! Tennessee to Nova Scotia, to France, then Quebec, and then back to Tennessee! From all these moves and witnessing different cultures, I've learned to appreciate the simple pleasures that life has to offer. Running in streams with my dog all the way to crying when I hear bagpipes! (No joke. Amazing Grace played on the bagpipes is powerfully moving!)

No matter where I am, I have been drawing, painting, building, and creating. I am passionate about what I do. I just can't help creating!

Some of my favorite things that inspire the creativity: the ocean and the TN mountains, my love of old architecture, real wood antique furniture (my husband says I rescue old furniture like some people rescue animals), scruffy looking dogs, hot tea no matter the season, warm rains, and traveling to & exploring little towns.

My nieces and nephews also inspire me with their unique, individual talents and thoughtfulness. My 3 sisters have raised some brilliant people! And finally, I am wonderfully lucky to share this and be inspired by my husband D.

Yes!

If you are interested in carrying our cards and displays, please reach out to deanne@project1128.com.

Talk to you soon!

The cards are about so much more than just another greeting card!

We love writing notes and are passionate with connecting to people - in real life. We just can't always be with them. We want these to last! We also create many of these images for the purpose of sending AND framing. The 100% cotton card stock is very sturdy, high quality, archival medium. Sometimes we consider cutting costs and printing on a lesser paper. Then we remember what this is all for. Connecting people through letter and art.

Imagine (if you will) the feeling of changing a frame with one of these cards in it - one that included a letter that so-and-so wrote to you? WOW! Now imagine if you do this for someone special. ...Wait, don't imagine, send one today!

They sure are! That's the whole point. We're not chefs. But we're motivated to make things, gather in the kitchen with loved ones, make food like our grammas made. The recipes focus on a little bit of this, a pinch of that, to get people together. Make the recipe, then add or subtract as you wish. The great thing about food is that you don't have to be a chef, you can still gather and be the one that eats it! Aren't we thoughtful?

You're welcome.

Yes! I get asked to do architectural pieces, but I can and have done botanicals, family recipes, and precious pets! I am also a designer as my other creative side and that includes branding and label design creations. I try to keep them separate but it is what makes me stand apart.

For pricing and details, you can send me an email to deanne@project1128.com

Nope. Not unless mentioned. I am not afraid of using it, but it hasn't served me yet to make it a main tool in my toolbox. I love the old fashioned, by hand drawing and painting. I will use my ipad (Procreate), for some things, mainly lettering. And depending on the need from the customer (you!), I will finish something up in Adobe Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, or InDesign), or Canva.

I will mention if something is made with AI. It's the same (for now) as mentioning the other mediums like watercolors, pen, pencil, etc.

It is a tricky topic in this arena and I tread lightly and learn!
