various stages of complete

i have been busy all last week putting the finishing touches on my new releases with Prima and Unity and began working on a new fabric art collection for DEMDACO. these are all in "various stages of complete", but somehow i think that kinda sums up my life right now.

here are a couple peeks into what i have been working on...

 

 

i have only been home for a week and then now i am off to singapore. i am really excited to return and see my friends from last year.

my life moves at record pace and balancing it all can be daunting, but the opportunity to meet and share with incredible people in foreign countries is such a gift. i probably will not do much international travel after this year and want to make sure i go back to my favorite places and visit some of my favorite people!

however that said, i am not looking forward to the 20+ hours of travel. but i will get a lot of sketching and idea concepting done. i get the best ideas in an airplane. something about the aloneness maybe...it is like i am most inspired to dream up new ideas with such vivid clarity 30,000 ft in the air.

i plan on working in my inspiration journal today, i do not have enough time for the video, but i will post the page tomorrow!

bill may be guest blogging and posting some really cool sponsor giveaways while i am gone so stay tuned!

I have said it before and so have many others, but your work is really just so wonderful. Thank you for all of the inspiration and thank you for talking about where it comes from when it strikes and things of that nature because it can remind those of us who sometimes find it hard to remember or notice when it does strike. I think that is what sets certain people apart from the rest. I think we all have great ideas some of us just can't remember to notice. Great lessons.
