Literary-inspired and hand-lettered designs by Elza Kinde.

Recent Events

I never throw away my old notebooks. All those doodles, notes, and eureka moments are important to me, even if they’ve already served their purpose. Looking back now and then is a wonderful way to reunite with the side of me that’s endlessly creative and dreaming of future possibilities. A recent look back at a 4+ year old composition book had my head swimming with design concepts that make the writer side of my brain very happy. More on that later…

I gave my Ko-fi followers a sneak peek at some of the things coming to BumbleBess this holiday season. Don’t forget to follow me there for exclusive offers, regular updates, and news.

Big sales are coming! Black Friday through Cyber Monday is a fantastic time to support indie artists and small businesses while getting ahead on your holiday shopping. If you need help, I have a holiday gift guide posted to help you give great gifts this year.

Coming Soon

A brand new collection will be added to my Threadless storefront on Monday, November 16! This seasonally-appropriate set of 6 illustrated designs will be available on greeting cards and stickers, and includes:

Holly Stemware (flute variation)
Holly Stemware (goblet variation)
Spiced Cider
Hot Chocolate
Peppermint Mocha
Winter Latte

I will also be adding greeting card versions of all the available designs in my Threadless shop for your anytime mailing needs! Cards are sold in sets of 3, 5, and 10 so you can mix and match as-needed.

But wait, there’s more! I will be adding a new collection of typographic designs to the shop in early December. These will feature humorous original quotes that should appeal to fellow writers and fans of the Read Voraciously, Live Vicariously design. Stay tuned for a sneak peek later this month.
