New Starts



I have been having a break from all things art and design lately, to plan for my new venture, sprung out of 'Alma B'... Alma B: Correspondence. And with it a new blog, a new website, and lots of new and exciting products!

Alma B: Correspondence aims to supply everything needed to keep in touch with loved ones and plan celebrations and life events. All based around the graphic style and images developed by Alma B.

Based around my own experiences of moving away from family and friends, I have come to realise the pleasure in packages arriving in the mail from someone you are missing, and of sending something you know they will love back. Inspired to celebrate a return to traditional paper communications, I have created a range of stationery and gift products, all made with recycled, FSC approved paper, and responsible manufacturing and print processes, using local production and design. With this environmental ethos in mind, I hope to create items which are lovely enough that no one will want to throw them away!

It is a continual work in progress, but with the first product launch just weeks away i thought it was a perfect time to start blogging the process and thoughts behind Alma B: Correspondence.
