The theme this week seems to be nautical. I was delightfully surprised to find I had been featured in Big Daddy Sea Shell's blog.

She chose my fish and whale prints to feature, as well as some really cool fish prints and ceramic dishes.
Later on this afternoon, I was even more surprised to find my At Sea women's long sleeve top featured on the front page of Etsy.


This fabulous list was currated by phantomwise.


I checked out her shop and just fell in love with this print.

Rainy Day Lovebirds is a mixed media painting that can be purchased in print form from her etsy shop. She has a July birthday coming up just like me :)

My red dahlias are blooming now. This is one of my most favorite flowers!






Ah, there is nothing more gratifying in my job than pulling the first scoop of ink over a new design.

I just finished my Chopstick Dahlia design last night, burned the screen and rinsed it in the tub at 10 pm. I had to pull the hose with the pressure nozzle through the window and to the tub so the loud noise of rinsing out the screen wouldn't wake sleeping neighbors. I could barely wait until the screen had dried to test it out.

Here is the fruit of my labor, the Chopstick Dahlia.



I am offering it, in my Etsy store, on a comfy and versatile cranberry t shirt dress in a creamy tangerine ink .
















Here it is on a beautiful sea blue v neck. I love this shirt and its extra length to cover my bum when I bend over!






I am very influenced by Asian design and was partially inspired by origami paper. I love dahlias and have some deep red ones that have just bloomed and about to bloom.
