Downtown Darling

Last night I saw a girl at 57th street heading downtown on the Subway. She was wearing the prettiest dress I think I've seen all summer with the coolest looking sandals...they were black quilted (flat) sandals with a thick ankle strap that had a small pocket. Other than that she was just average. I always say a killer wardrobe is a mousy girl's best revenge! Anyways, her dress inspired this drawing...

Self Portrait Challenge: Pattern

This summer I have been having a love affair with bold colors, prints, and patterns. They make me feel happy, young, girly, & playful & I love that. Where is the fun in being serious all the time? I can be that girl at work, (where they pay me to be serious all the time!:)) but on the weekends I'm just the same person I've always been.

Cupcake Block Prints

i am currently hosting/moderating the cupcake love swap, and have been gathering things to send to my partner. i purchased some things on etsy, but decided to add in a few of my own things. i really wanted a recipe journal, so i took one of the blank journals i had laying around and transformed it! i also created a couple cupcake magnets, & also made a few cupcake notecard sets. i kept the ink light...using pink & lilac on brighter colored paper & prints. it was a lot of fun, and i ended up making so many things that i am now selling a magnet set & notecard set on etsy. anyway, here are some photos from my latest project!
