My Creative & Work Spaces

Good Evening everybody! 
I just want to share some of my creative past and present work spaces with you..
My room!  Where most of my pencil doodling happens.
..and likely listening to Norah Jones.....

 Office # 1. [Company I designed bags for]
 This is how my work office looked when I first started..
I was all prissy and neat ....then....few weeks in....
it... shortly became this. haha.. Things sure got busy.  

      Office # 2a[Company I designed toys for]
....I though this was great..until.. 
  Office # 2b.[Company I designed toys for]
.....I shared a space with the most incredible designer of life
..Sonya P!
Lastly..this is a picture of my personal sewing room! Its an old pic with my super talented designer friend Aneta Sofronova!
Things in this room haven't changed much...except there's much less polka-dot going on these days. 
 I still have late nights here..
..and come out with wonderful things around sunrise :)!

Bow Tie Party

It was my friends surprise party this weekend..and it was Bow Tie Themed! 
This is the set of bow ties I made for the occasion! :)

sew colourful..makes me happy.  

Its A Wonderful Colourful Life

I've noticing all the fall collections popping up...Its that time of the year.  Pull out your mitts and give them a good hand wash before you get caught in the chilly breezy nights!

Shiny NEW Sesame Street Aquadoodle

Whoo Hoo..Its about time this Sesame Street mat is out and available on market! 
B- is for Buy yours now..as Elmo would say ;)
I've been waiting super patiently for this one to come out on market.  I designed this product approximately 9 months ago- I'm proud of it!  During all the revisions I decided that Abby Cadabby is my favourite Sesame St. character :)  But of course its always about Elmo.   There are secret Elmo's hidden in the drawing surface... scribble away to play hide and seek with him!

Spotted on the Toys R Us site! 
For all you competitive price shoppers- I kindly did your hw.  You save a big shiny 5cents if you get it at Walmart.  Alternatively TRU is offering 15% with free shipping if you spend over a $100 bucks.   
YES YES Y'all need 4 mats.

On the right was was my concept board for this product.  Side note: I added extra finger room tabs on the stencils for y'all kids to doodle perfect squares!

Alright.. now go get yours and scribble away and come back with perfect shapes including hearts for me :)

CHEEKY

2 drawings I did over the weekend..
Pips!
Can you guess what they have in common?

Mom's Birthday- My UnBirthday!

It's my Mom's Birthday and she made it quite obvious that she wanted a bow accessory to match the one I made for my Dad.  This is what I came up with! A bow ring! She loves hers- and obviously I wanted one too.  Here's the one I made myself- Its MY Happy Unbirthday!
I painted my nails just for this picture...

Pretty Girly Jewellery


So... who's got a little girl I can play dress up with??   Look at all this fun stuff I made with buttons, ribbon and tulle. 


Sometimes I wanna be a little princess! I would love to have pink and purple tulle fabric coming out from every direction  :)



These are probably some designs that showcase the more girly side of me.  Hot pink is actually my favourite colour.  Seriously- ask all my best friends! :)

New Elephant Friends!

Best friends at first sight!! 

In the making...

Ta-Da!

My 'Service Electro' logo  This elephant is for my special friend Harriet.
Theres a secret message for her on the reverse side of this tab!

Have a great day!

Wonderful Colourful Weekend!

I got asked to work on the most Wonderful & Colourful freelance project this week!  It involves all of this and more!!

Marker time...

Sometimes I get nervous using marker because you can never go back once the paper is marked.  I drew a faint outline in pencil first for this one.  but now..i think this sketch looks a little too stiff.  I should of just went for it! Who cares if it looks a imperfect..its art! :)

Did some doodling today....



I have a thing for girls with freckles :)! 

I picked up a pack of 4 colour crayons from a diner on a recent trip to Chicago..who says crayon is for kids only :) ... I'm loving them!  

Colour Blast Bow Ties!

I came up with a great design IDEA today! How would you like to customize your very own bow ties and make numerous variations? 
Colour Blast Bow Tie Kit: 3 big bows, 4 small bows, 1 loop 

Place 2 bows together, slip the loop through...

Ta Da!

Use 2 small bows and get a baby bow tie..


Feeling fancy...layer up 3 


How much fun is this! It makes dressing up so much more delightful.  Im sorry for those indecisive individuals, I've just provided you with many more options ;)
