Fun free day last week painting flowers.

A few sketchbook florals I liked so much I tried out a little ceramic dish in the same style.

FANGIRL

One of my internet BFFs, Tricia, is putting on a holiday pop-up shop with her real life BFF Carly and asked me to contribute something to sell there. Their shop is aptly named Fangirl, and will take place next month (I think) in Austin, TX and also online. For now, they've launched a great blog with all sorts of pictures and writing on the things they're fangirling over.

I painted this sunflower bouquet for the tote, because what else besides flowers really, and Tricia screen printed all of them by hand. I love how they turned out, and I'm so impressed with her printing skills. I don't like screen printing, so I'm extra pleased.

Working on some new floral patterns. Not sure if all the coloring is done on this one, but I like it so far!

My collection for Anthropologie came out last week and this Griegii Mini Dress has quickly become my favorite. The samples I was sent are a size 6 and most of them pretty much swallow me alive, but this shift dress (also in the bears print) looks great oversized and cuffed. I'm so happy with how everything turned out, and also impressed with the quality. Reading "polyester lining" always makes me wrinkle my nose, but the lining on these is actually very soft and slinky, and super nice for a synthetic. So, take a look at my pieces and the rest of the Made in Kind lines here!

Cards!

I made this floral greeting card set a few weeks ago. They're postcard-style, without a fold, so they can also be hung as prints!

Buy a set here.

Spending as much time as I can making new patterns. I wish I could be doing this all the time ... but thanks to everyone who's paying my new school tuition in cat dresses and kitty tees.

a pattern and how to wear it

Plant Life

tropical times? no, just a couple I did while stranded at a Starbucks waiting for D to get out of an important meeting about clogs.

summer patterns

Hiiii. No, I'm not having a lazy summer on the beach, I am inside most of every day at D's house making things for my lovely Etsy followers and trying to do new things in the little time that's left. Some of these new things (like cooking!!! I'm becoming an expert at non-beef burgers) have a hard time fitting on the scanner.

Here are a couple new patterns I've made, though. They're ready to be dragged off the blog and tiled as pretty summer wallpaper.

wildflower

My new Dr. Martin's super crazy (I mean, concentrated) watercolors have the most amazing color. These are the flowers that grow along the road by the ocean in Carlsbad. I think they're poppies but they grow in every color, not just orange.
