Katie Daisy - The Wheatfield

Feminine florals, hand-drawn illustrations, bright colors, and encouraging words, oh my! Each refreshing design offers something completely different but clearly shows her personal style. I love it! Keep up the beautiful work, Katie!

I came across the works of Susanne Engman today while doing my daily web-hunt for inspiration.
I couldn't stop looking at her bright color combinations and funny characters.

Berkley Illustration

I've always loved portraits of people with animal heads. Or maybe these are just animals dressed as people? It's hard to tell, but either way, I love seeing animals doing people things and especially animals dressing in people suits! Reading that over, it sounds like a Dr. Seuss rhyme or something...

A Happy Little Tree Pattern

I'm too embarrassed to admit how long it has been since I've worked on my portfolio, but I can say it was way overdue. Recently, I dusted off my fashion design portfolio from 2004, and replaced each and every sleeve with my most recent graphic design and illustration work. I decided to scan some of the drawings from my sketchbook and work on some new patterns.

I like to call this guy the "Happy Little Tree" pattern.

I hope you like him. :)

I finally got my first treasury on etsy!!

If you aren't an 'etsian' and have no clue what a 'treasury' is, here are the basics:

It is a gallery of 12 hand-picked product images with links curated by etsy members selected on a particular theme. I love the basic principle of treasuries, a means to promote other etsy members. It is a great way to promote new or maybe unnoticed members and their amazing products.

It's an extensive waiting game at times to even get a treasury as they only accept a certain amount at a time. I have been waiting not-so-patiently to try one out with no luck... but tonight I was about to shut down my computer and checked a last time and there it was, just waiting for me! heh, or so it seemed.

So to make a short story long... here's my first treasury!
