One drawing, different products

I usually spent a lot of time in each one of my drawings. For that reason I'm always looking for the best way to optimize my time and use each creations in different mediums and products. And it's fun because you have ONE drawing and you have to think how and what you can change to use and reuse (it's this the correct word?) that image. Usually my brain is always spinning thinking in what else I can do ;)
Do you want to see how many things I do with one drawing?

OK. Here we go...

First, everything star with my dear pen and a piece of paper. I usually use water color paper to make my original drawing, but sometimes I just use whatever I found here on my table.

After that, I scan the drawing and with TONS of patience I add the color using illustrator (after I vectorized the scanned image).
When the image is ready with the colors, Mr. Harper pick the name. And with that I made:

1.- Prints, t-shirt, iphone and laptops skins on my Society6 shop

Feather Heaven

2.- Super cool Duvet Cover (Andrew and I gave this one to my mother in law for her birthday... she love it!).

3.- The same drawing in black and white can look awesome in Shower Curtains (and other things, right?)

4.- And if I take out the flowers and other details, and only use "The Bird", I have other artwork!

5.- You can crop part of your drawing. And using other color scheme, create a totally new image.

6.- And last but no least, I create a pattern with the drawing to be use in last week Spoonflower contsest ;)

One drawing... many options ;)

I will go and check all my old drawings and see how I can reuse it to create new things. It's fun... GO and do the same ;) You don't think it's a good idea?

Happy Thursday!

Spoonflower + Canvas Prints!

First, THANK YOU so much for your comments and ideas regarding what I should do with my blog. I’m sooo excited about the new plans and looking forward to share tons of things with you. I love to make these kind of plans because it’s a GREAT motivation to do new things and set new challenges. It’s going to be fun ;)

Well, before leaving you for the weekend, I want to share a couple of things.
Because I’m a super persistent person, I entered again in one of those awesome Spoonflower contest! I guess if I work hard and keep doing; maybe someday I’ll win the first place!
This week theme was birds… well, if the theme is birds, I have to be there, right?
The only tricky thing was the colors. They let you use the restricted palette (black, white, blue -greenish color + a color of your choice. Let me tell you something, I made my design and I was SUPER PROUD of it. Indeed I was silly enough to tell my husband that designs was a winner. Yeah.. .that was just before I saw all the others design in the competition. Holy Cannoli! I could believe how many cool designs entered in that contest. Speechless beautiful stuff, seriously!
I still love my design, and of course, I hope you like it too.

And last but not least, I want to let you know I upload tons of new prints on 8x10 canvas in my shop! I love these little things :)

hello there!

Hi! you remember me? Well, good news, I'm *ALMOST* back ;)
I have been pretty busy with tons of things and trying to figure out the "next step" for my blog. I was planning a long post telling you my ideas, my plans, asking you what you think, etc... but I think will be boring.
In a nutshell, I want to make this blog a more "inspiring" place. I want you come here to see what I doing, but also to get tips, help, ideas, to ask me questions, to share what are you doing... and more!

Well.. that is want I want to do :) And I think will be fun and good!

Sounds like a good idea?
What you will want to see in this blog?
What you will want to learn here?


Something good is going to happen!
