POPPIN' POPPIES

LOVE LOVE LOVE POPPIES!!!  I think poppies are so BEAUTIFUL!  Their color is bold and striking, yet their ruffled shape looks so delicate.  I am currently working on a poppy collection, but I am having trouble deciding which color palette to explore.  I think I prefer the green background and the pink background...although I am drawn into the black background.  It is all about bold color for me.  I would love to hear your preferences!  Please leave me a comment with your favorite!  Thanks so much! xx

Mid Mod Mash Up

Today I played with some more sketches that I created last fall.  This latest collection of patterns is sort of a MidMod Mashup.  I combined several different retro illustration using the same color palette.  The result is fresh, funky and so fun!  I can easily see these patterns on beautiful flowing maxi dresses, as well as stylish outdoor patio cushions and pillows. I just need a name for this collection.  Any thoughts???  Please leave me a comment with any suggestions.  Thank you!  xx

A little bit of MidMod play today

My poor computer has been out of commission for almost a week.  I finally got it back up and running today and decided to just play with some MidMod designs that I sketched last fall.  I love these simple wonky shapes and adore this fresh and modern color palette.  Sometimes I just like to play with colors to see how they look in a pattern.  I didn't really have a plan for this pattern, but knew I wanted the colors to be bold.  I really love how it turned out!  I would love to see this on some curtains in my living room!!  What would you use it on? 

Another play on Solveig

This was fun!  I used the blooms from my Solveig collection to create vintage inspired potted plants.  I remember right after I sketched the flowers I thought, "Hmmm...those look like pots on stems."  And so that sketch did double duty creating lovely flowers and playful pots.  WIN WIN!

O Little Town

I haven't had much time lately for drawing or designing, but I was able to put this little collection together just in time for Christmas.  Here are some fun mock-ups I made using the patterns from the collection.  The wintry palette and snowflakes make me want to hunker down with a cup of hot cocoa and a cozy blanket, put the Netflix yule log on, and get in lots of snuggle time.  :)  Wishing all of my friends and family near and far a very Merry Christmas...and a HUGE THANK YOU for all of your encouragement and support!  xoxo 

BE YOU!

BElieve in YOUrself!!
