Hi everyone! Just a quick update- I started a Zazzle store! What’s a Zazzle you ask? It’s a store where you can order custom items with your own images. There are lots of items and the ability to do all over prints on some things using repeating patterns. I have a few items with some of my patterns listed now, with an eye towards more in the future. Zazzle also allows you to transfer the pattern to another item. For instance I might have listed the image on a mug or tea towel, but maybe you want the pattern on a card or shopping bag or even a rug! You can click the Transfer Design to a Product<\/strong> and click on the product suggested or on the link to View All Products<\/strong> to find the one you want. It’s super fun!<\/p>\n

So usually I start with a handmade paper or sometimes digital design that I typically bring into Photoshop or maybe Illustrator to work on and combine with other images and then many times turn it into a repeating pattern. For instance recently I made this quick water color scroll:<\/p>\n

\"Watercolored<\/a>
Watercolored S Scroll from Camera<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And turned it into this repeating pattern for Zazzle:<\/p>\n

\"Purple <\/a>
\nPurple Watercolor Scrolls and Flowers Hand Towel<\/a>
\nby US_Designs<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course with an eye towards crafting, I have created several tissue paper and napkin items. I love working with tissue paper and napkins, especially with encaustics. The this paper goes translucent with certain mediums and wax. I love making tags for wine and gift bags because they hold up and can even be re-gifted if the recipient wants, although a lot of my friends who receive these save them and use them as decorations- hanging on their Christmas tree, etc. Zazzle lets you create a collection and so I started one just for Art Supplies<\/a>. You can find that here<\/a>, but again if there is another patter you like that isn’t on the tissue paper yet, just use the Transfer to a Product function.<\/p>\n

For instance I have created this tissue paper which works well with colored encaustic paints, and I am hoping to add more designs in the future: \"Starfish <\/a>
\nStarfish and Seahorse Tissue Paper<\/a>

So check out my store! I make a tiny commission on each item sold from my store, so my appreciation in advance for your support!<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
