New Design In My Society6 Shop - Bohemian Spirit Mandalas on Aubergine

Yay! I love how this design turned out! Hi friends! I wanted to take a minute to share the latest design that I uploaded to my Society6 shop this morning. It's a pen and ink drawing of three mandalas entitled Spirit Mandalas, and it looks especially pretty on the pillows.

The background is a deep aubergine, like the deep purple-plum color of an eggplant, and I think it's a really elegant combination when paired with the ivory colored artwork. This design is perfect for Boho decor lovers!

Here are just a few examples of this new design on a few different products. All are available in my Society6 shop so be sure to check them out!

Tote bag available in 13", 16" or 18"

Wall tapestry available in 3 sizes!

iPhone and iPod cases as well as skins and laptop sleeves and skins are available in all different sizes too

I just love the pillows! There are square, rectangular (like the one above) and large floor pillows that you can order in circular or square

I hope you like them! Let me know what you think!

I hope you have a great week!

New Design Listed on Society6 - Blue Space Feather

Hi friends! Tonight I listed a brand new design on Society6, so be sure to check it out here! I really love the way this piece turned out!

Tote bag (available in three sizes)

It started as an ink drawing...

Working on the design

I've been drawn to sketching feathers lately, and laughed when I realized how much you could see my jewelry designer influence in my finished designs. But I like them. I think they're really unique. Anyway, once I had it all drawn out, I added some color with watercolors, and then photographed my artwork and added it to my Society6 collection. Here are a few of the pieces in this collection...

Carry-all pouch (available in three sizes)

Throw pillow available in indoor or outdoor material, and available as a pillow cover or with the pillow insert included. Also available in 16", 18", 20" and 24" sizes.

Wall tapestry - also available in three sizes

This design is available in many more items; iphone cases and skins, laptop sleeves, travel mugs and even bedding. There are so many great gift ideas at Society6, and they run great promos too. I think today they have free shipping and 20 percent off of many of their categories.

Fleece throw blanket

If you haven't visited Society6 yet, you really need to check it out! There is so much amazing artwork from talented artists from all over the world.

Have a great week!

The Evolution Of A Design From Drawing To Finished Product

This summer I worked on some illustrations and was really pleased with my finished designs...

I drew some mandalas, artistic feathers, and some other various designs...and I blogged about them just a little bit over the summer, and shared a couple very short videos on my YouTube channel as I was drawing them.

I decided to transform my designs into textiles and a few different products, and turn them into a collection available in a few different color schemes, and here are a few samples...I think the pillow below is especially beautiful!

Boom Mandala throw pillow in Ocean

My original drawing, which is a freehand drawn mandala sketched in ink.

I always wanted to design home decor and fashion, so I am excited to get started and test the waters with designing some test products of my own.

Bloom Mandala in Plum comforter

It's really amazing to see the transformation of something that was once just and idea in my head, and then a drawing, turn into a beautiful product that people can wear or use in their homes and everyday lives.

Bloom Mandala in Turquoise Carry-All Pouch

All products pictured in this collection (plus more not shown here) are available for purchase at Society6. I'm working on a brand new collection and hope to have it up soon after the holidays. I hope you like them!
