Loving it

Here is my little simple final project from a class I just finished at Parson School of Design Continuing Education. The class name was Fabric selection and style. It was taught by a very passionated professor (Salvatore Cesarani). What a sweet man! We went couple field trips to an organization, a textile design company and the textile library at the Met in NYC. What I like about this class is we were exposed to resources, process and inspirations. It helped me to create my mood board and the design for girl playful clothes. I sketched 4 designs, flats, swatch colors and collected sample fabrics and notions for the design. Each class was so exciting and interesting... too bad that it was only 6 sessions.

Mood board
My designs are influenced by french clothing in the 1700s-1800s. Layers, wide bell long sleeves and detailed designs. Also, quilt, fantasy land, fairies, happiness, happy girls, briht colors, playful illustrations and shapes, big flower prints.


Fresh Bloom
The name of my collection. It has free spirit style, spring style, beautiful details, contrast patterns and shapes.

March of the Tools

Image
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 .

owls.. owls....owls... and flat cards.

Image
These are the newest versions I made. They are my newest companions. It only take me 2-3 hours to create one, but with full time work and 2 boys... only late nights I can find some time to sit down and star cutting the many small triangles in different felt colors. Then... the rest is fun! A family :)...Yes! I am one of the winners for submitting these owls to a contest called "Calling all crafters" at martha stewart web site... www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/your-best-handmade-cre... More owls... more flat cards.... I can't get enough. See new items posted on my little shop.
