Twist n Pout – Marie Friddle

Monday Mood Board

I have a friend who knows how to set the perfect mood – Always something unexpected to be found in the nooks and crannies.

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”

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”

In the Garden

Today I’m feeling like I need an escape; a peaceful place to gather my thoughts and tune out the world. I have it in my mind to create such a place in my own back yard, but for now I’ll just have to pretend. Here is a simple paper cutting I finished last month. ItContinue reading “In the Garden”

Riding the Wave

When I posted I was DONE, you didn’t take me seriously did you? Well, the fact is – I am done, my last post still applies. And no, I don’t have anything profound or truly blogworthy to share, but a funny thing happened – not funny ha ha, but funny interesting… Lately I’ve had aContinue reading “Riding the Wave”

I Have Ways to Make You Talk

You never know what twists and turns might happen in the studio. What started out as two separate pieces, each destined for starring roles in their own story, turned into something completely different. First, there was a bird, which I stumbled upon (literally, I tripped right over him) in a thrift store and paid too much for, probablyContinue reading “I Have Ways to Make You Talk”

Oh, So Raven

As usual, once October approaches, November and December come full speed at me. Here it is the end of November and not a post has been posted… I have very exciting news to share. Well, two bits of exciting news, but I’m waiting to share until most the details have been worked out. In theContinue reading “Oh, So Raven”

The Hidden Path Revealed

I intended to write a witty, whimsical post involving mysterious sea creatures and how one evening as I took a moonlit stroll along the beach, I was visited by a wise old octopus. As he levitated above the ocean shore he stretched out far-reaching tentacles. Each tentacle pointed to a different path and each pathContinue reading “The Hidden Path Revealed”

A Bunch of Stuff and a New Tin…

What can I say? I’m completely uncreative when it comes to writing titles. I should be posting about the Craft Fair I did earlier in the month. Truth is, it was a little uneventful. And I mean that in the most positive way. Everything went smoothly from set up to tear down. Aside from ourContinue reading “A Bunch of Stuff and a New Tin…”
