My Top 3 Ways to Take a Break While Working From Home

Photo by Slava Keyzman on Unsplash When working at home it’s easy to become engrossed in what we are working on. Before too long hours can go by and we don’t even realize it. I’m especially guilty of this happening when I am working on a new design or drawing.  Below are my top 3 ways I have learned to combat this bad working at home habit. 1. S[...]

The Art of the Handwritten Note

In this day and age of electronics, we more often find ourselves lost in the mass activity of text or emailing in lieu of personal interaction with one another. It seems the art of conversation is slowly being lost to the drastic shift of the instant technical non-verbal forms of communication. Even the art of the handwritten note and letter writing are slowly being lost to these forms of[...]

Our Christmas Memory Tree

What is a memory tree you ask? Every Christmas we usually put up two Christmas trees in our home. A more formal, cohesive tree in the living room that has a theme and matching color scheme as well as a what we call a “memory tree” in our family room. This year however, we decided to move our memory tree into the living room  to compliment our new fireplace and make that our only Chr[...]

Office Shelving Organization Using Attractive Containers

Several weeks ago I installed these space saving shelves on the wall of my office/studio to have some space saving organization and tidiness. I had been procrastinating on getting containers to keep things organized and well, as the "Before" picture below shows, things got out of hand. As you can see these shelves found themselves in a terrible state of disorganization. Unfortunately, I[...]

Pretty and Unique Colored Pencil Organization

While meeting with a client recently at my local Michael's craft store, I stumbled upon the cutest little piece for workspace organization. I immediately knew that it would be the answer to my prayers for a more functional way to keep my colored pencils organized and accessable. As you can see below, this is what I had been dealing with for some time. Very frustrating to use. Each t[...]

I love creating patterns. Creating patterns in col I love creating patterns. Creating patterns in collections is something fairly new to me and have always struggled with. I find my collections differ from the norm in that I try to keep a consistent theme with my pattern collections.  So instead of 1 or 2 hero prints with smaller and medium sized companion prints to go with them, I create patterns and motifs that have the same theme. For example, the same floral or plant family, or line work style, or sometimes even wildlife.  I will keep them all consistent with my choice of color palette and various color ways (as shown in this post) and for an extra pop I’ll throw in a bold color (sometimes 2).
..
 Remember, there is no right or wrong way when creating - just create as your heart and mind guide you…it’s a very gratifying experience.

Do you prefer to create patterns in collections or do you prefer to create all hero prints in various color ways?  Share your answer below ↓
A little peek at what I’ve been working on. It’s so nice to create something new.
