More Designs

Continuing to have fun! These designs were done using Photoshop and Illustrator. Not sure which is my favorite - but I'm loving the black!

I'm in the second week of Rachael Taylor's amazing class - The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design! Having a great time - putting my all into it - and creating up a storm!!! The field of Surface Design has had my interest for YEARS and I have finally taken the steps to learn all I possibly can about it. My dream for as long as I can remember has been to design fabric or sheet/comforters/wrapping paper - anything printed with a design or pattern - I want to do that!

Here is a bit of what I have been working on - Is it possible to have too much fun!

Talent - A New Favorite!

Going through Chemo these past two years (with one year left) has become my new normal way of operating - and to sum it up, it kinda "SUCKS" but I stay positive and really don't complain. While I was in the hospital in 2011 my sister had given me a set of very cute pins (badges) one of them said "Chemo Sucks" - I pinned to my purse. I never realized how much strength and Super Hero Powers it gave me until I discovered that it had fallen off and was GONE for good! That pin was a reminder of all I have gone through and what I still have to face and it made me feel strong and it spoke to me - Hey girl you're a warrior and let nothing stand in your way!

A while ago, thanks to Instagram & Etsy, I came across an amazing artist in Manchester, England. (she creates, she runs, she swims! impressive stuff!)

I simply adore, adore, adore her work! So I sent her a message and told her about my lost pin and asked her if she would design me a new one. I am so excited, it should be here in a few weeks!!! Thank you Nicola! Here is a peek at what she created for me! I also ordered a print of this to hang in my studio and some other pieces of her work. Click on the links above and check out her work. She has wonderful, creative, fun things in her Etsy shop! I will post again when my goodies arrive!
