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: UNITY T-Shirt and Canvas Bag

I designed the UNITY series after traveling to Senegal and The Gambia in West Africa last Fall.  Seeing some of the living conditions in those countries sparked my desire to create a line that would be tied to giving back, here at home.  The series consists of three designs, the first of which is shown on this UNITY T-Shirt and Canvas Bag.  With the sale of each of these products, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Capital Area Food Bank or SOME (So Others Might Eat).  Both organizations have a mission to provide assistance to the hungry, poor and homeless of the Washington, DC metropolitan area.  The products can be purchased in 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.  

Prince... Rock On

Prince is rocking the June 2014 cover of Essence Magazine in every sense of the word.  The outfit is funky, and his hand looks poised to rock it out on that fierce guitar.  I'm loving this awesome look, and best of all he's sporting a natural fro.  This musical genius represents Naturally ME.
