This is my original version of my print "Love Never Fails” created as a five layer paper tole art, which gives it an amazing 3d effect. The print is 11" by 11". It is detailed created and has a glittery effect. Every piece was cut and glued to add the effect and I applied glitter coloring on the surface.

Layette (0-6 months) This collection was created using a soft fall palette. I was inspired by fields and sheep, fluffy clouds and pretty things. Created various mixed and match sets in this collection.

Love.

I made this presentation board a few years ago to illustrate how the past affects our current trends. The background of the image shows the images of two queens, and the three women in front show  a more contemporary version of this royal look. I created the frame of this image from illustration board, Each square of the frame is covered with fabrics that would be used to develop this trend. I also used beading and threads in the frame.

 I created this collection using a soft warm pastel palette. Wanted to create comfortable, yet feminine intimate wear... Once again I was inspired by nature.

Baby collection (0-6 months) . I created these designs  using a soft color palette with cool colors. I was inspired once again by nature, a baby version African safari. I had fun playing with colors and shapes. The giraffe as you can see is a key element in this collection. This was my first time creating a baby collection therefore it is very special to me.

Knits were both designed and woven by me...  I simply wanted to play with various geometric shapes and use rich colors to create the warm feeling I believe I accomplished. I created these knits in school many years ago, it was my first time using a knitting machine and I am very pleased with the results so I wanted to share :-)

This collection was inspired by Moroccan spices (as the title suggest) and created in an index card format. The collection includes: the inspiration (as seen above) and four categories: Sportswear (seen below), Intimate apparel, Leg-ins and miniature tea sets. And a collection of prints for each category.

The colors I chose where rich as my inspiration suggests. I wanted to use earth tones and geometrical shapes for my patterns to create a very personalize look. 

This print is part of the Sportswear category as seen above. The designs are very geometric.

 This pattern was created for the intimate apparel category. I used the same color story for all categories in this collection, however, for the intimate apparel section I used a softer look, wanted to use more curves and less geometric styles.

This collection was presented in this Moroccan inspired index card holder created by me using wires, beads and miniature mirrors.
