1. Collage Portrait: Devon


I made this collage portrait last week for Devon's going away and Griffin's first birthday. Her kids are so adorable, it was an easy project. I added a bird next to Miranda's picture, because her nickname is Bird. Griffin got a worm because boys are all about dirt and worms. Both are drawings taken from my Birds of a Feather collection.


My favorite part of these collage portraits are hidden underneath the paint. Here, I added a vintage sewing pattern and button paper as a nod to Devon's fabric design and love of sewing. The map signifies their moving to Germany (never mind that it's a map of England). You can see more of my collage portraits and order one for yourself here.

2. What I've been up to

I've gone a little Ripple crazy. Thank goodness it's for a great cause. Above is the Junk A Doodle I got from one of my favorite illustrators, Holli Conger. So love this!

This beautiful print is by Christina Rodriguez. Scrumptious!

When Devon of Devon Industry posted this painting on her blog I wanted it badly. I suggested she list a print of it in her Etsy shop and she did, so now it's mine. She's one of my Twitter pals. Love her work!

I'm working on my marketing and promotions this week. I'm ready to up my game. Here's a little sketch I drew last night. I love how ideas seem to come out of nowhere. I've never thought of a dinosaur who's into ballet, but here it is.

This is the Amy Butler Barcelona skirt I finished right before vacation. I used her home dec fabric, too. I love how it feels like it has more structure because of the fabric weight. It's also fully lined! I altered it a bit. There's one whole tier missing. Since I didn't take notes while I made it, I may not be able to repeat it. Oh well.

3. A great lunch & a little home decor.


I've had this great old file cabinet forever. It's big and holds everything, but it was so ugly! It was gray and rusted, but with a lot of paint and a cute little decal, it's gorgeous! I bought the decal from Single Stone Studios. They customized it to my specs. Don't you think everything should be beautiful, even something as mundane as a file cabinet? Isn't it just too cute?

Me, Bari, Devon, & Miranda.
Yesterday, I had the great pleasure to meet fabric designer extraordinaire, Bari J. Also joining us was Devon, an amazing muralist and textile designer, and her adorable daughter and my best friend, Beth. We had so much fun! I met Bari and Devon on Twitter. I know a lot of people just don't get the whole Twitter thing, but it's been great for me!

This is my best friend, Beth. She's a fantastic graphic designer and artist. We went to college together. As you know, I love color and she's color phobic, so I never imagined we'd end up both wearing purple. Great minds think alike, I guess.
