Mini Collection Reveal

OMGOSH. I know this is a lot. I was pretty excited when I received the Fill a Yard sample of my Geometric Bats mini collection from Spoonflower yesterday. I am so happy with the way these came out, even the tone-on-tone dark print. I have a thing for monochrome prints where the pattern is soContinue reading “Mini Collection Reveal”

Monday Mood Board

I’ve been trying to come up with a colorway for my hounds collection that hints towards a pinky pastel sunset. I applied a pink opacity to this photo and also applied an opacity to the photo and placed an opaque pink under it. The original pattern has a lot of green, so I thought IContinue reading “Monday Mood Board”

Wednesday Work in Progress

Just working on some little icons and brushes. When I draw in Illustrator, I tend to do it the hard way. I’d much rather use my pencil tool and draw with my mouse. I have a long desk mat, that’s essentially a giant mouse pad. This allows me to continue with a long steady lineContinue reading “Wednesday Work in Progress”

Monday Mood Board

I usually wouldn’t notice until I had already posted to my shop. Ugh so frustrating! And I find myself wondering why do I evenContinue reading “Luna Moth and Pattern”

It’s perfect, however, not easy to work with as there are probably more than 50 colors here. So, I narrowed it down to only seven.Continue reading “Monday Mood Board”

Back to School

I thought I’d share a few items I’ve added to my RedBubble shop before I get overwhelmed with classes that will be starting soon. I went on a bit of a moth kick. they are so fun to make and there is so much variety. So, after making almost a dozen, I thought they wouldContinue reading “Back to School”

Sneak Peek Part Two

I wasn’t planning on doing a part two, but, here it is! Originally, the river scene was the hero of the collection, but I didn’t like the way the river looked once the pattern was repeated and scaled. I removed the river completely, which gave me the pattern from yesterday, which also gave me twoContinue reading “Sneak Peek Part Two”
