Bojo and Seasons Greetings!
This journey began with a situation I have found myself in many, many times. I thought others may find themselves in the same spot. I have had heartfelt thoughts to share with friends. I had cards. I didn’t have postage, forgot to stop to get some, or even couldn’t remember to order stamps online. With that in mind and thinking about the thousands of photos I have of my favourite places, I hatched the idea of creating exclusive postcards and note cards to sell and include postage (and even a pen) so sending meaningful notes can be effortless. I believe that the cards we send and the gifts we give should be as unique as the people receiving them. To achieve this, I’ve embraced a creative process that is as multifaceted as the designs themselves.
Technology Meets Tradition
At Bojo Madeleine Market, my process is a dance between the modern and the traditional. I believe that true originality knows no bounds, which is why I utilize a curated blend of digital artistry and handmade craftsmanship when designing our postcards and notecards.
- Digital Precision: I often begin my designs with photos I have taken and using digital resources, I tweak them until they are uniquely beautiful. Digital tools allow me to experiment with intricate details and complex layers to ensure every piece is a polished work of art.
- The Handmade Soul: Once the digital design is perfected, the "making" doesn't stop. Every item is brought into the physical world and finished with a handmade artistic touch ensuring that no two pieces are ever exactly alike.
Exclusive Designs for the Discerning Eye
Bojo Madeleine Market is for those who notice the details—the crispness of a digital line, the warmth of a hand-finished edge, and the story behind the craft. By blending digital resources with manual artistry, I can offer exclusive designs that are both high-concept and deeply personal. A gift is more than just an item; it reflects your own taste and the value you place on your relationships.
