SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: commUNITY T-Shirt

The third design in the UNITY series is titled commUNITY.  We don't have to travel far to help others.  We can spread a little love right in our own communities.  For example, whenever I go to the bank the tellers always ask how I'm doing.  When I respond I ask how they are in return, and more times than not they seem surprised by the question and thank me for asking.  I get the impression they don't hear that very often from customers, and it makes me feel good to put a smile on their face and maybe brighten their day.  It certainly makes me feel good, and a little kindness can go a long way.

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: UNITY Custom Tote Bag

I designed the UNITY collection in the spirit of being connected and helping those in need in our communities and beyond.  I had the first design in the collection digitally printed on a sophisticated Linen Cotton Canvas, from which I created the outer fabric for this roomy tote bag.  I used a durable duck cloth for the lining.  The tote bag is made to order.  To learn more, please visit the SKCreations Online Boutique.

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: Naturally ME Noir - Special Edition

I have been thrilled by the response I've received on my Naturally ME surface designs.  It is a passion project for me so it's icing on the cake when customers tell me how much they love it.  There were a couple of inquiries about whether I would offer the t-shirts in black as well as in white, and the idea really appealed to me.  Black is bold and chic, and who doesn't love a black tee?  I decided to do it but I'd make it different than the original design, and it would be a Special Edition.  I set out on creating eight new designs of women with natural hairstyles, which would be shown exclusively on the black background.  Here is the finished product, Naturally ME Noir (that's black in French if anyone asks).  Unlike the original Naturally ME design, the individual hairstyles on the Noir tees will not be available separately.

There are two versions of the design: one with a red border like the one on the white tee, and one with a white border.  Why did I do two?  I just couldn't decide which I liked best, so why not have both?  The tees are now available in the SKCreations Online Boutique.

 

Also, as with all of the Naturally ME tees, a portion of the proceeds from sales of the Naturally ME Noir tees will be donated to Covenant House, the largest privately-funded childcare agency in the country providing shelter and service to homeless and runaway youth.

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: Naturally ME Tote Bag

Introducing the Naturally ME Tote Bag.  Our Naturally ME series celebrates Black women who rock their natural hair.  Our original surface design was digitally printed onto a sophisticated Linen Cotton Canvas then used to create the outer fabric for this roomy tote bag.  The interior is constructed from a nutmeg colored durable duck cloth, and has two pockets and a base insert.

With each sale of a Naturally ME Tote Bag, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Covenant House, the largest privately-funded childcare agency in the country providing shelter and service to homeless and runaway youth. To learn more, visit http://www.covenanthouse.org.
