A breast cancer angel gift from Inspiration Mutz Embroidery

This is the digitized and sewn custom angel for breast cancer which I designed for Inspiration Mutz Embroidery . Isn't she gorgeous! I was blown away when I saw how the clipart was transformed. This angel is stitched on Mylar over a lace-like base. As part of the grand opening of Ursula's new store, she is now giving this design as a Gift on a Purchase of any value.So click on by the the store and get your angel :)
Cheers

Earth Day Freebie

On 22 April 2010 Earth day will be here. What is Earth day? Basically I think it is a day to stop and think about environment both micro and macro. Most folks would agree that old mother nature needs a helping hand. So while each and every day should be one where we are conscious of the things we do and the effects it has on our surrounding, on Earth day we should make a special effort to do something for our environment, something as simple as walking down a stretch of beach and picking up the garbage- it may save a turtles life; or if you walk down a country lane, pick up the discarded fast food wrapper some passerby dropped- a storks life may be saved.
In honour of this important day here's a clipart and line art I drew. To download the files please click here. Remember to read the terms of use :) File formats JPG and PNG.

Tee shirt mock ups

Just playing around with two recent sets I put up. Took an image from both and applied an embroidery filter program to see how they might look when digitized. The tree is from Tree days and the caterpillar is from Garden doodles.

Rose and Baby's Breath

When designing this limited edition clipart set I thought of weddings. I enjoyed drawing the roses, but the baby's breath ... what can I say ... I have seen them, touch them, but had no idea on earth what they actually looked like when it got down to it. Such a tiny flower, so small, elusive with invisible stems ... ahh the name :)
The pictures in this post are great! They are two designs from the set which have been actually digitized and stitched out by Misty Mountain (no filter used here :) ) and can be found here. She has also digitized stitched out a couple of the Flutterbies which I think look FANTASTIC ( with all the little lines, dots and finickiness in these two sets must have some people cussing me hehehe).

February Freebie

Just a quickie here, I am rather exhausted today - physically as I have been shoveling snow all weekend and looks like I will be shoveling again tomorrow and the kids will be home as the road to the main road will be snowed-bound until county tractor/plough comes and frees it up :(. Where am I shoveling - our beautifully long @#$& curved driveway.
Anyway I just wanted to let you know in the yahoo group February's freebie has been posted.
Oh I forgot to add, I did complete the butterflies from 2 post before. This pic is one of them where I have used an embroider effect filter. The actual set can be found here.

In progress...

I will, I will, finish this set I started. I swear I will. It will not go the way to the alphabet (after a comment from my darling mum "is that an F"), nor the way of my cat of swirls with its tail problem, nor the intial older pealet creation. I will finish my flutterby designs. BUT, I got to finish a project tomorrow and then should pick another up on Wednesday, AND the car's accumulator died AND the kids have been home for a week again and are well and full of energy. But I will finish my flutterby designs. I am a third of the way and thinking of making it a blue work but not sure. I just need a day.. well a day and a half for I find I can't upload and do the net stuff the same day I finish the drawing - for some reason it really taxes the brain and I have to really struggle to get the set uploaded..ahh the joys of being an artist.

Here's a what the one of the designs looks like. I wish I could make up my mind as to colour or not. This would not be a problem if it was general but I am thinking of making it limited...hmm Oh well I am off to fold clothes and to try and figure out how to get the dog from shedding in the middle of winter. A massive amount of hairballs roam the floor even if I sweep the day before. Can't vacuum as lego pieces might get vacuummed up and that is definitely not worth the results

Beautiful Proteas from clipart to embroidery

I started last month putting up some of my work at mygrafico.com - mainly digital stamps but I decided if a clipart request caught my eye I would attempt to do it. Well I saw one asking for Prtoea designs. At first I looked and clicked away. Protea what is that ? What type of flower. After putting around for a couple of hours I went back and looked, no other artist had answered so I googled the flower and thought wow this is different. To cut a long story short I did a mini clipart set of 5 protea clipart. The lady who made a general restquest name is Karen and she liked the set and digitsed it and Boy did she do a fantastic job. Here are some pics of Karen's stitched out of two of the clipart that she digitised.
