SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: Who Spilled the Beans?

I love beans.  There probably isn't a week that goes by when I don't have them.  I'm a big fan of kidney beans, black beans, lima beans, navy beans and garbanzo beans, and there are others that get thrown into the mix from time to time.  They are a great source of protein, and since I don't eat red meat, and have chicken and fish only once in awhile, they're really a staple for me. 

My surface design, Who Spilled the Beans, is an ode to these legumes, and since I did get a bit carried away while creating the design, it ended up looking like someone just spilled out a container full.  Hence the name.

I recently had the design printed onto a linen cotton canvas fabric, and used the fabric to create this custom tote bag.  The lining is a complementary olive green duck cloth canvas fabric.  I think it's a fun and unique design, and sure to be a conversation starter.  Order yours in the SKCreations online boutique.

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: Naturally ME = Girl Power!

For the past several years, some of my SKCreations products have been available for purchase in the Craft Store at the Brentwood Arts Exchange at the Gateway Arts Center, located in Brentwood, MD.  I really love this place and feel very fortunate to be a part of this art community.  I was there recently to deliver some new products for the store, and the Craft Store Coordinator mentioned that a woman had recently purchased two of my Naturally ME Note Cards for her granddaughter.  She planned to frame them and hang them on her granddaughter's bedroom wall.  The grandmother has been collecting cards and images with positive representations of African American women for some time, and she frames and hangs them on her granddaughter's wall to encourage a sense of pride in her heritage and culture.  I am always touched when I hear stories of how my creations enriched someone's life in some way, but this was one of the most touching stories I've heard.  I'm honored to have some of my work contribute to the building of a young girl's positive self esteem, and it really exemplifies what my Naturally ME series is all about.  It really made my day. :-)

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: New Fabric!

I am sooo excited!  My new fabric has arrived!  I had three of my surface designs, In Black and White, Who Spilled the Beans and Stained Glass Mosaic, printed onto linen cotton canvas, and I love the way they turned out.  They will work perfectly for a few upcoming projects that I can't wait to start.  It's so funny to be anxious to put scissors to something that looks so good in one piece, but I'm sure the finished products will please me even more.  Stay tuned!

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: Stained Glass Infinity Scarves

Happy New Year!

I hope your 2015 is off to a great start!  I started the year with loads of energy and lots of enthusiasm for what this year has in store.  My creative juices are flowing over, and I can't wait to bring my new visions to life.

I'm starting the year with a couple of new Infinity Scarves that I created from fabric on which two of my abstract designs, Stained Glass 1 and Stained Glass 4, were printed.  The design is the same but the colors vary, and both would go with so many outfit choices that they make a great addition to any wardrobe.  For ordering information, please visit the SKCreations online boutique.

I wish you a wonderful and prosperous 2015!

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: Stained Glass Mosiac © Infinity Scarf

I love stained glass and I have collected small pieces over the years that I've set in windows around my home to capture the sunlight.  It is a beautiful thing to see.  It inspired me to create my Stained Glass Mosiac © surface design that combines a potpourri of colors and patterns to create a unique mosaic.  I was very pleased with the digital outcome, so I decided that it would be great on fabric for my Infinity Scarf collection.  I'm so glad I did it.  This design has become one of my new favorites and, with all the colors, you can wear the scarf with everything!  It's available now in the SKCreations online boutique.
