I have been all consumed in creating some designs this weekend for different products. Yesterday many ideas went nowhere but today I felt like I gained some headway. I love experimenting with photoshop and illustrator using layers to create interesting effects like the one above. I have a few ideas to try out on products. This…

Ready, Steady, Go……
Here are all of the pouches ready to be put in my little stall tomorrow. I also have the tote bags ready and two extra scarves including a new one with cat faces all over it. I spent the afternoon trying to chill out and get them ready to take down to San Jose tomorrow. I…
Fluffy Freeda
I have always been fascinated by that iconic portrait of the great Frida Kahlo in all of her floral magnificence and so I have had this desire to create a curvy Frida…no reason I just have been wanting to create a curvy lady and she seemed to be the perfect muse. So this is my…
