Textile/Pattern design
Work from a class for textile design. Doing repeats by hand was difficult to me. I decided to do my patterns electronically. My other option is to draw them by hand, scan and paint them electronically.
March of the Tools
I am joining Heather Bailey's March of the Tools . This sounds fun. There are many tools that make your life easier, but as a crafter and graphic designer. These are the two tools so far that I can't live without when doing crafting or design. E-xacto knife is an essential tool for creating mock-ups. I own this knife for 12+ years. My newest tool is the Ultra ShapeXpress. It's easy to use and it's very practical tool. Cuts any shapes in paper. Also, I read that cuts in fabrics? I have to see for myself. I have to try that yet. A new addition to March of the Tools. Still not too late!: A trimmer from Fiskars. Very useful, practical, sharp and a time saver. For heavy duty use, see cutters from Carl. Found here .
