creating with a passionate heart

I've been pouring my heart into something for awhile

there was some little hints in my posts about

sewing and painting and creating and a business

as I've been settling into

 our new home and new life

I have also been designing a line

that has been inspired by some of our travels

I have been

CREATING

with

A PASSIONATE HEART

I've let go of how I used to do things 

how I used to see things

I've let

hard defined lines became

wonky and free

clean geometric shapes dance with organic shapes

textiles of nubby and smooth textures mingle

high sheen and matte coexist 

here's a little peek

at JUST the pocket

of the

'City Market Tote'

I don't want to give too much away all at once...

the color combinations were inspired from our trip to

Spain

have you ever gone somewhere new and

had

THAT

FEELING

that

I FEEL ALIVE

IN MY HEART

FEELING

I had that feeling the second we arrived in Spain

she was wild with color and romance

and

I knew

in a instant I would NEVER EVER be afraid of working with color again

AND

I MUST GO BACK AGAIN

this design was such a magical process to see come full circle

from inspiration to

the end product

it feels

fresh casual funky modern comfortable

and

(built to take on the city)

so what's going on here?

it looks like vinyl

but it's

NOT

the art pocket is entirely hand painted

on a base of

natural flax canvas or pellava kankaalle

with multi layers of

a super high gloss licorice

the pop of color is

ultra matte

kiwi green, cherry tangerine and matte licorice

then freely top stitched in details

fun to look at

but also really cool to touch

I'm working on my

happy little

Look Book

I cannot wait to show you the full line and all the color combinations!
