I feel a great disturbance in the force....

My house, my sanctuary was burgled last week. My lap top was taken along with all my vintage and newer jewelry. Many 1940's cuff bracelets, art deco rings, 1960's pop art style necklaces and rings. I have no photos to post right now....as they are all gone...all gone. I will be taking the next few weeks to recoup from the disruptions in my life.

Stay Tuned for more pattern!

Enjoy these photos of my cats & dogs.

mossy trees

Photos from Pt. Lobos state reserve near Monterey. 

I was mesmerized by the moss and lichens growing on the trees. 

The trees were windblown and made for a beautiful landscape. 

Pattern & texture is everywhere if you look for it. 

inspiration at the car wash

I often find myself daydreaming when Im sitting inside the car when its going through the wash cycle. Always armed with a camera to snap shots of inspiration everywhere!

Summer flowers everywhere!

I love flowers, the brighter the better. Lately I've been seeing a lot of odd looking flowers and am so attracted to them. 

Summer color

Colors that I love for summer.

Design were you'd least expect it....

I bring my camera everywhere. Yes everywhere. I snap photos of anything and everything that interests me. From a wad of chewing gum making a splotchy pattern, to rusted out staples on a wooden telephone pole, to items at the grocery store.

The first photo was bunches of parsley and my first attempt at illustrator! Kind of a camo like pattern. I'll turn it into a large scale painting soon.
The second photo is red cabbage and my second attempt at illustrator. The contrast of the purple and white are two of my favorite color combinations.
Ill be posting more photos soon...This is also my first attempt at a blog, let alone a surface design blog!
