This collection has been so much fun and a jumping-off point for a couple of other collections I didn’t even think of until I started working on this. It’s been interesting to venture down these new paths. I’m really excited to see the original concept begin to take shape and see the story evolve inContinue reading “Collection Sneak Peek”

Monday Mood Board
For many months I have had some ideas about how to use these shapes in a pattern, maybe a whole collection. I’m still kicking the idea around. Looking for inspiration everywhere these days. But can you look for inspiration or does inspiration find you?
Monday Mood Board
This week I wanted to get back to this design I started a few months ago. How to capture the foliage, show variety and all the different shades of green is turning out to be a challenge. I originally did a few hand drawn doodles for the variation in leaf patterns, but I don’t thinkContinue reading “Monday Mood Board”

WE HAVE GLITTER! I’ve always wanted to try making glitter in Adobe Illustrator but didn’t have the patience to see it through. I thought now would be a good time to try that out. I created the glitter for this celebratory cupcake by watching Graphic Design with Elena on YouTube. Elena made it so easyContinue reading “Monday Mood Board”

What a great way to put all the skills we’ve learned in Adobe Illustrator to the test. As usual, I waited til the last minute to finally get myContinue reading “A Thoughtful Gift”

I was so excited when I learned RedBubble now has pet items! I’ve been wanting to make some cute pet products, but just didn’t have the right patterns to work with. After putting in the time to see this collection to the finish, I thought they would be perfect for any fashionable dog (or cat)Continue reading “Bandanas Available Now”
Rain or Shine Collection Part 2
An interesting thing happened as I was working on this collection. All the focus was on the whippets (as it should be), but as I pulled the collection apart I discovered I could do some fun things with only a few key patterns from the collection and I think these prints may have more appealContinue reading “Rain or Shine Collection Part 2”
Rain or Shine Collection Part 1
I’m super excited this collection “Rain or Shine” is now available on Spoonflower for purchase! This is a collection that was created with my adventurous whippets in mind. I initially had created many of the motifs for other collections but decided to change them up a bit by using pop art and Memphis design as inspirationContinue reading “Rain or Shine Collection Part 1”
