ColorBee has been buzzing in the studio again. Here are just a few of the new designs available in my shop.
John Lennon Typography Poster
“Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time”
This is one of my favorite John Lennon quotes. It’s a great reminder to slow down, take a break and have a little fun in this fast-paced world. And don’t let yourself feel bad about doing “nothing”.

The Perfectionist Who Printed Imperfect Art Prints
I’m a perfectionist. Before I ship any orders I always make sure to inspect each and every one of my prints very carefully. My Epson printer is awesome, but it’s not perfect and every once in a while I do notice a small flaw in the print. Usually the imperfection is a tiny white or black dot. If I do find a flaw, that print will be discarded, I’ll print another and a perfect print will be shipped to my customer.
What does discarded mean? No, I could never throw the prints away. The imperfections are always so teeny tiny it’s a shame to not share them. The best ones are given to charitable organizations or schools. The rest are stored in my file cabinet for safe keeping. Occasionally I’ll make some available at a deep discount in the ‘ColorBee Outlet’ section of my Etsy shop.
Where do these random tiny dots come from? White dots are caused by specks of dust that the ink prints over. When the dust speck falls off the ink goes with it, so a white dot is left where colored ink should be. Some black dots are already on the paper before I load it in to the printer. Still other black dots are very tiny ink splatters.
This weekend I went through my files and found some ‘almost totally perfect’ imperfect prints, so I’ve added them to my outlet shop. This is a great opportunity to decorate on a budget! Enjoy!

Spot the Dot
Many customers who purchased these imperfect prints in the past have remarked that they can’t find anything wrong and don’t see the flaw. But I know it’s there!Where do these random tiny dots come from? White dots are caused by specks of dust that the ink prints over. When the dust speck falls off the ink goes with it, so a white dot is left where colored ink should be. Some black dots are already on the paper before I load it in to the printer.

You Are My Sunshine
My ‘Sunshine’ prints are very popular and I wanted to create something a little different, so this week I posted a new item for sale in my shop. You Are My Sunshine / My Only Sunshine. It’s a little different take on the ‘Sunshine’ theme and includes a neat sunbeam backdrop.
This typography poster will add a little sunshine to a baby nursery or bedroom. Typography prints are a unique way to modernize your space.
It’s such a happy print, I hope you like it!

New Look!
ColorBee has been buzzing in the studio lately, redesigning the website and blog. This is my first post showing off the new website integrating the shop and blog for easier viewing. New logo colors too! Hope you like it. My web address hasn’t changed – you can still find my shop and blog at www.thecolorbee.com, but I plan to change to colorbeedesign soon. I just don’t like using ‘the’ ColorBee any more. I’ll keep you posted when that change happens so you can update your bookmarks.
Thanks and stay tuned for more exciting updates!
