I See Angels....

This image is what I started with!  Can't you just see the elements jumping out at you?  A frame, cherubs, embellishments... on and on. The first think I did was break it down.  I believe I ended up with  10 at least, different elements.  That is 10 parts that I can spin in dozens of projects and designs.  Since I love to begin with patterns I designed one straight away. 

Shown here is the pattern at about 65% repeated on a white background with watermark. 

This one is at 35% on white background with watermark. 

When I have gotten the pattern placement how I want it I can then spin it different ways to get different effects.  As you see here just the adjustment of the pattern size can give different choices for products or projects. 

Even a color overlay can make a different effect and add to the ole choice pallet. 

I'll leave you with this image.  I love placing patterns on top of patterns and making them work to create a more complex image.  

Have a great day!  If you are interested in my art work please message me I would love to work with your company.  If you are a crafter and would be interested in some of the patterns that are no in my etsy store let me know. 

Special thanks to the Graphic Fairy for providing the original image used.

By changing the way the pattern is viewed can give a new perspective on the pattern. This can lead to inspiration for new projects or give old one a lift.
This image was created using vintage images that I have taken the elements out and then combined them to make a new image or repeating patterns. If you are interested in my art please contact me. Thank you

To print or not to print

That is the question. Rather it is to ones benefit to see your own art work printed or to simply go with the digital version! I think that is is important to print it out.  To see how the digital version works with the printer.  I use high quality paper (and I can't stress that enough.  Treat yourself well and your art work with respect. I use photographic card stock.  The colors come out richer and it's acid free.

You could use the examples for your web store images and use the samples yourself or have a give away! 

Now here is the latest repeat design!  More on this tomorrow!

Special Bunny

Working with vintage elements to creat new art never gets old.  Finding those elements that just "hop" off the page is a treasure hunt.  Above is an example of a new creation with a vintage element removed from a Easter greeting.

Just a Glimpse
You probably have stumbled around in a dark room before and then have someone open a door or turn on a light.  That momentary flood of illumination can be blinding.  Then if the light source turns off, you left really in the dark.  Blinded.  But what is the positive or better yet what is my point.  It is that in your mind suddenly there is a detailed image of the room and the direction to go to get to the light.  Such is inspiration  That brief glimpse that gives you direction.

Here are a few bits that I have been working on these past few days.
