Featured on Make it in Design Blog!

WooHoo! I recently submitted a quote for Quote of the Week on the wonderful Make it in Design Blog and it got featured! You can see it here: http://makeitindesign.com/blog/2015/01/27/7535/ 
There are also directions on the page to submit your own quote.

Make it in Design is also a great resource for classes, inspiration and the MOYO magazine, which is a great resource for surface designers.

Thanks for reading!

Some recent, fun classes to share!

I've been having a great time taking the design classes offered at Design Garden. If you want to learn a technique of creating really great clip art in Illustrator, this is a great class to take. Sabina is a wonderful teacher, you get one-on-one feedback from Sabina (that in itself is priceless!). You also get the benefit of being part of a very supportive group of artists. Some are very seasoned artists and have been doing this for a long time, others are brand new, doing this for the first time. Everyone is welcomed and supported! Here is some work I created in the Foundation Class:

I took the Trend Class, too. It's a great class to take after the Foundation class, since it deals with more advanced design themes. Here is some work I created in that class:

She's also offering a Color Workshop, which I'm taking right now. So there are classes for every level and interest! 

Have a Lovely Day!

Join me in a free workshop for your inner critic!

I know for me, my own inner critic is my worst critic... always second guessing myself, comparing myself unfairly to others.... this has been since I was about six years old! Sometimes it's helpful... never being satisfied with my work, always wanting to do better. But sometimes it can feel overwhelming and can hold me back.

So when this Soothe Your Inner Critic workshop arrived in my inbox, I signed-up right away! Click here to learn more..... I'll probably have to do the recorded version.... the chances of my kids letting me sit in front of the computer on a Saturday morning are about zero! Luckily, I'm sure the recorded version is just as good..... oh and it's free!

Enjoy your day!

I'm going to Summer School.... you can too for free!

I just signed up for all three tracks of the summer school... Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Here is the link to find out all about it: Make It In Design Summer School.

I recently took the Module 4: Building Your Professional Portfolio. It was a really great experience. It was so full of information, that I have to go back through the class again. I couldn't keep up with it in real time!

The Summer School starts July 28.... which is the very end of the summer here. But that's ok, because the kids will almost be back to school by then... yay!

So click on the link above and join me!
