Sweet!

I've been dying to see this sign hanging at Etsy Headquarters in Brooklyn but have not had the opportunity to visit there myself. Danielle (super duper sweet, Etsy Seller Education Coordinator) was so kind to take some photos and send to me. Etsy has named their conference rooms after musician's names mixed with foods. They liked my "Sweet Escape" illustration and asked me to make one based on it but instead of saying, "Sweet Escape" they wanted, "Depeche a la Mode". I thought it was too cute and clever, and an honor, so this is what I came up with.

NEW- Embroidery Pattern PDF - Sweet Escape!

Introducing my very first embroidery pattern now available in my shop!! I am crazy about smiling fruits and veggies and embroidered kitchen towels! This is my first attempt at a pattern using my "Sweet Escape" illustration. I haven't had allot of experience embroidering but I'm really wanting to take it up. Wouldn't these make sweet kitchen towels? Maybe I'll get industrious and make up a bunch before next Christmas to give as gifts. I'm hoping someone will buy it, make it and send me a photo so I can post it here. ^-^

Sweet Escape!

I woke up this morning and went straight to my studio to draw. It was quite chilly. I began to draw and had to laugh because I was cold and drawing ice cream. I have always loved and enjoyed anthropomorphic illustrations and figures. I hope you like this one entitled "Sweet Escape!" She is fleeing some lover of ice cream no doubt! ;)
