♥*~*♥♥*~*♥Patterns Tutorial♥*~*♥♥*~*♥

Alright, Kiddo's. Today we are talking about... PATTERNS!
Lately, during my time away from this blog (no excuse, I know), I've been working on making patterns. Nothing too extravagant. Something that is simple and would work great for computer backgrounds, stationary, and craft projects. I hope you enjoy this video tutorial. Let me know if you have any questions :)

My design "Glitch Please" on sale at KOHLS!!!

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!!!

Earlier this year, I received an email from Threadless stating that my t shirt design was selected to sale in local stores. I was excited but never thought that they would be sold in Kohl's!

"Glitch Please" available at Kohl's online and in select stores :)

This experience just taught me not to give up. I AM good enough! Yes, I have gone through so much and I thought I was down for the count. I felt like I have worked so hard but had nothing to show for it. I have given so much just to be let down and that hurt. I was so close to just letting art and writing go all together. My creativity was shot and the passion was not there. But thank the Lord!!! I thank my Sweetheart who has been there for me this past year. I thank my family and friends. I really wouldn't have seen this day if it had not been for their encouragement, prayers and love. I am truly blessed and honored to see this happen. Hallelujah!!!

Been a long time!

Soooo... Here I am. It has been are really long time since I last posted anything. I'm thinking last September? Well, a lot has gone on since then, many of which were life changing. I guess that reason alone explains the hiatus. It's just too much to get into right now! Anyway, I am happy to say that I didn't let my circumstances get me down. It is truly by the Grace of God I am able to even write this entry. And it brings me even more joy to say that I have been getting back into drawing.  :)

Animated Adventures and Accomplished Goals

Hey guys! I know that it has been a long, long, long, loooong time since I updated. However, I have got some great news. I started and completed a short animation! Now to some this may seem like a small feat, but to me, it is like a dream come true.

Designing T-shirts and Threadless

My newest design submitted to Threadless :)

 Lately, I have been on a creative roll. I mean, ever since I started designing t-shirts during my free-time, the creative juices have been flowing. It's crazy! And I do mean in a good way. I wish I had found out about Threadless years ago.
One thing that I really like about this new found hobby is that it keeps me on my toes. I feel like I am able to explore and experiment in different ways. Each new challenge pulls me out of my comfort zone and forces me to approach my designs differently. I love it.
Not to mention that there are so many talented people on there. At first, it can seem a bit overwhelming and intimidating, but I found that there are quite a few people who are willing to give you tips on your designs as well as encouragement. So, yeah. The Threadless community is pretty awesome. I highly suggest Threadless for any of you who are interested in designing t-shirts or giving your artwork a little exposure.
