My Lookbook is Published

My wonderful regular clients have kept me quite busy for the last several weeks. Once I had a couple of "free" days, I finished my lookbook, which I had been working on for a couple of months.

See it here.

I also got a few cool florals done, and revamped my website. I've been mad about coral and gray lately!

Case in point: 

Issuu

It's been around for awhile, but I've only just discovered it. Issuu, a digital publishing platform.

I spend spare time each day perusing Pinterest and continue to make great discoveries there, some that have even furthered my career. Now Issuu has become, for me, a new go-to for exploring the worlds of design, diy and art.

I'm amazed at what's available there! It was the perfect platform for my make-your-own Trick-or-Treat bag using your own fabric, or the pre-printed panel that will soon be available on Modern Yardage.

Currently, I'm creating a lookbook especially to publish on Issuu, and it has truly been a labor of love.

In other news ... are you hungry for a vegan breakfast?

Optical Illusions

While researching trends for a client, I came across some optical illusion designs and sort of got caught up in them for an afternoon and made some repeats.

And I got a little queasy looking at them!

Colorblast June 2015 by Design Options

I was featured this very dynamic slide show by Design Options. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to scroll across.

It's a long story, but I actually came to Kim Designs via Design Options, a fortuitous meeting! Kim has been instrumental as my agent for making design sales for me.

Today's image is a design done recently, and likely will become part of a collection called "Parlor."

I've been busy this last week or so working on new designs for Needlepaint, which is always a lot of fun.

Oh, and I've FINALLY redone my website. It looks pretty much the same but I was able to get out from under an old and vulnerable Joomla website. Wonderful!

My Interview with Make It In Design

In week that otherwise saw me designing like crazy - designs no one has seen yet - my interview with Make It In Design has been posted.

Another One of THOSE Weeks!

By that I mean, I didn't do much new designing, but instead was doing some hourly graphic jobs for some of my awesome clients!

Heck, I want them to be successful as much I they do! And what a blessing that I made a living as a graphic designer this week.

I did create a promotional for my Modern Yardage collection Hedgerow in Summer.

Multi-purpose Floral

Gotta keep 'em coming. Large scale, small, ditzy, contemporary, classic, mod, flower power, elegant ... you name it.

Florals are the most sought after patterns.

Here's the one I did today. I'm still working out the colors.
