C'mon Baby...

Do the logo-motion!  I've been fiddling with a new PeriwinklePaisley logo because very soon I'm going to launch a Periwinkle Paisley website.  Exciting, no?  I think this is the one.  I just can't decide between the graphic colored one or the lineart one.  Which do you like?

Buncha weird circle things

As a whole it's not a good composition.  But it has separate elements that could be promising.  Again, I made the attempt to use colors I don't usually like (brown, tan, grey) but blue, green and purple forced their way in.

Paisley of the Week! Henna Tatoo

 This week's Paisley of the Week! is something very special.  Jaewalker is an artist that I've met on deviantart and I was hard pressed to choose just ONE of her fantastic works as Paisley of the Week!  Like me, she doodles and draws paisley as  a form of meditation.  Unlike me, her doodles are on skin instead of paper.  Henna tatoos are semi-permanent, which means that they'll come off but not right away.  This paisley palm is Jaewalker's own, which seems to be her favored canvas.  Look at the details!  If you get a chance to take a look at her gallery, please do!

Paisley of the Week! Turquoise Batik

Gah!  It's Wednesday already and I'm late doing Paisley of the Week!  Let me 'splain.  I have a fave turquiose paisley tee shirt that I was going to do as Paisley of the Week! but then I spilled chocolate on it.  And I've been remiss in doing my laundry this week as well...So enough excuses.

  This week's Paisley of the Week! is this gorgeous aqua batik from E-Quilter.  It reminds me of the beaches in Cancun where I went on my honeymoon.  Nothing but turquoise as far as you can see.  I can imagine capri pants, or a little girl's dress, or a short summer robe or a cute sleeveless blouse.  Lots of possiblities with such a pretty color!

Looky Look

Here's a little looky look at something I've been working on.  From the left going clockwise:  Jungle Parrots, Surfin' Safari, Pinky's Paradise and Hibiscus Orange.  I'm very excited about these four costal looks!

Paisley of the Week! Ceramic Button

 Last week was crazy busy with things at school with my kids.  Summer vacation is going to be here before we know it!  This week's Paisley of the Week! is this lovely purple and green ceramic button.  I bought it from Mermaid's Beads a few weeks back. Be sure to visit her Etsy Shop, she has many wonderful handmade beads both paisley and non ;) It comes under the heading of I-don't-know-what-I'm-going-to-do-with-it-I-just-want-it. I have vague daydreams of sometime doing a mosaic... 

Paisley of the Week! Jungle Paisley Kaffe Fassett

Kaffe Fassett is one of my all time favorite fabric designers.  When I go into a fabric store and see something that immediately grabs my attention and I'm saying "Wow!  That's just fabulous; I want 3 yards of it!" 9 times out of 10 when I look at the selvege it says Kaffee Fassett.   Usually I hoard fabric because it's too pretty to cut, but this particular design, Jungle Paisley in purple, was so fun and exciting that I immediately made a pair of capri pants out of it.  This design also came in yellow and I hoarded that for a while but then I made my Mom a purse cover out of it.  I was hard pressed to give it up too.  That's how much I love ya, Mom--speaking of which Mother's Day is next week!
