So I was hesitant to do this post, simply not knowing if I would actually get twenty questions to answer! So let’s hope I’ll have enough and not look too silly! Anyways, I get quite a few email about how I started, what programs I use, if I like to work at home, etc.. So I thought I would pull out a post that allows all of you (my lovely friends) to ask my anything you want, I’m pretty much an open book and would love to answer and questions you have. Yes, even if it’s asking about my relationships, fitness, or if I prefer steak over chicken. So, feel free to comment with questions, email me at hello@saffronavenue.com, post on my facebook page or even instagram or twitter. So, here’s to hoping this works! – Oh, and I’ll post my answers on Monday!

I would love to know how you go about finding images to use in your work? Such as the rose image you found on etsy for your mothers day card?
Do you have any favorite etsy shops/small business shops you consider your go-tos?
What are some of your favorite IG accounts?
Would you ever consider taking on a remote intern/assistant (this is a very selfish question:) )?
What are your best tips for some struggling at their day job, not sure of the best steps to take to lay a good foundation of transition into a creative field?
Thank you!!

About a month ago you posted your binder with your outstanding projects. I would love to find out how you keep your freelance business organized. I need some serious help in that department, and would love it if you shared (or sold, because I would buy it) your project binder system. Thanks! :-)
Yes, that is right! I think I also need help too, thats one of the hardest things in this business, but I posted a bit about it and the sheets I use here! http://saffronavenue.com/blog/my-life/twenty-questions-answered/
If you could write a little note (paragraph) to the past Angela, who was just starting out, what would today’s Angela say?
Also, who is your style inspiration (fashion or design wise)?
Awesome question! You can find it here http://saffronavenue.com/blog/my-life/twenty-questions-answered/
I would love to know what your favorite calligraphy tools are, inks, nibs, pens, and fun tools!
Thanks Kody, feel free to check it out here! http://saffronavenue.com/blog/my-life/twenty-questions-answered/
Hi Angela, I thought of another question I’ve been dying to know…with your portfolio shots how do you get the gold foil showing up, have you photographed it on something or photoshopped it? Eg your hayden olivia bridal pic on main portfolio page. Thanks :)
I might not cover this in the blog answers, but that specific one is just a photoshop mockup using a gold foil gradient or an image. I hope that helps (it’s not me taking a photo ;)
Awesome, thanks heaps Angela!
Hi Angela! I hope I’m not too late to get my question answered, but I was wondering what your process for digitizing your calligraphy is? Do you draw it by hand and then scan it or do you design it on your computer? If you do scan it, what’s your process after you scan it?
Not a problem, I had that question a couple times so hopefully I answered it here http://saffronavenue.com/blog/my-life/twenty-questions-answered/
