Playing around with lily pads




I've been meaning to do some more pattern design and I just haven't had the chance to do anything lately. So today I decided to play around a bit and made these lily pads. I haven't made it into a repeat yet because I'm playing with composition still, but I thought I'd plop all the elements together quick and play with some colors. Ehn, I'll keep working on it. I think this may be a little camouflagey.

New Kitties and Sketchbooks.








Sheesh, it's been a while since I posted any new Kitties. I don't know what the deal is. Ever since the new year started I've been feeling sort of sluggish, up until about this week. Now finally I feel like I'm getting back into the swing of things. I hope I can keep it going. So, without further ado, here are seven new little Kitties and four new sketchbooks that I finally finished up. I'm almost done with a new embroidery pattern too, so I'll have that to share soon. And... I have a new plush animal that I've started making, which means that soon there won't be just Kitties running around here! More on that to come. In the mean time, all these guys will be going up in the store starting next week.

Artist: Ana of fric_de_mentol






I love these little illustrations by Ana of fric_de_mentol. Some of them are made by gocco screen printing an outline layer, then painting in the other details. And others are all gocco screen printed. Fun! I'm pretty excited about the one in the second pic with the man in the blue sweater. I love the title of that one... Don't Want No Small Feet Man. Check out more on the fric_de_mentol etsy store, blog and flickr.

Hey, I think this is my 500th post. Woo Hoo! Craziness.

Artist: The Crafty Hedgehog






Check out these little science projects. I think I had to dissect a worm and a frog in junior high. Then moved up to dissecting cats and cow eyes in high school. Ish. These little dissected frogs and mice are much nicer. They are made by The Crafty Hedgehog. You can purchase them in her etsy store here. The knitting pattern for them is also for sale. FUN!
