As I stated in previous posts, I’ve been having too much fun finding ways to use these prints and motifs on a variety of products. I decided to put together a mood board with a few of the colors and prints I thought would work well in a room for a preteen or a child.Continue reading “Monday Mood Board”

Bandanas Available Now
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”
Monday Mood Board
If it looks a little like a first grader put this together, that’s because I was going for that aesthetic. I wanted to capture the silliness of my youngest dog. He’s such a funny boy. I mean those ears – he just can’t get them under control. I was also inspired by Memphis design andContinue reading “Monday Mood Board”
I’m (Not) Coming Out
“MY OH MY….. we are living in crazy times.” Said pretty much everyone who’s lived in any time ever. Yep, perhaps it was the very first complete sentence Lucy, our most ancient ancestor, managed to grunt out just before she took her very last upright step. For almost a year, I’ve debated taking this blogContinue reading “I’m (Not) Coming Out”
All Doweled Up
I found some dowels and bun style armoire feet in the garage the other day. I decided to make kokeshi dolls out of them. Or, scroll dolls in this case. That was so much fun, I decided to buy a few more dowels and feet and make more. And then I had a crazy ideaContinue reading “All Doweled Up”
Hope Untarnished
I thought I’d ease into my new-found interest in paper cutting by creating the piece here. When I say ease in, I mean this isn’t exactly what I would consider a true paper cutting. I simply cut out the flowers from decorative paper with scissors. The small, detailed flowers were cut using a die cut machine,Continue reading “Hope Untarnished”
Bates and Switch
Remember this? He was to be an addition to an altered Altoids tin paying homage to a classic American film. In keeping with the mood of that film though, I realized he should be in black and white, so it was back to the folding board for me. The second time around you think I would’veContinue reading “Bates and Switch”
No Excuses (well, maybe just a few)
Ummmm – excuse me while I sneak in here and pretend I haven’t been missing for the past six months(!). But I do have several good excuses; 1. I opened a brick and mortar shop, which keeps me pretty busy. 2. I’ve had no internet access from that shop, which keeps me off-line most theContinue reading “No Excuses (well, maybe just a few)”
