Day 81 - Indian Fire

Day 78 - Bullseye

I present my first ever pattern created in Illustrator. Super simple, but yay for new skills!

And, now I've got to go be a good alumnus and root for UofL. Go Cards!!!

Bullseye

Day 74 - Day Glo Herbs

Day 69 - ABC's

Working on ideas for screen prints. Tonight, it's a sweet print for a baby's room. 

Day 64 - Stitched Floral

Brought to you by Alexei Murdock and the 'Away We Go' Soundtrack. I think this pattern was inspired by the ambience of the last scene of this movie - so gorgeous.

Day 63 - Spark

So many color ways, so little time...

Day 60 - Lovebird Fanciness

Day 57 - Japanese Kamon

I've long been fascinated with the kamon, or, Japanese family 'crest'. Such simple shapes with such a powerful meaning. You can find out more here.This is my own take on those wonderful shapes.

Day 55 - Violets

It appears I'm a day behind...

Day 52 - Indiana Homestead

A few notes I learned about my adopted home state tonight: 
Nickname: The Hoosier State (I've lived here five years and still don't understand what a Hoosier is...)
State Song: 'On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away', by Paul Dresser
State Flower: Peony (one of my faves!)
State Bird: Cardinal (hmmmm, the same as Kentucky)
State Stone: Limestone (yes, we have a 'state stone' - it's been used in the construction of the Empire State Building and the Pentagon)

For the record, I still find it amusing that I live in New Albany , and yet, I live closer to downtown Louisville than my parents do, who actually live in Louisville.
