To celebrate Pride, I’m giving away this one-of-a-kind choker featuring the original 8-colour flag by Gilbert Baker. (Did you know that the pink stripe was removed simply because they ran our of pink fabric one year?) While I have a bunch of 6-stripe flag and trans flag chokers in my Etsy shop, this is the only choker made with the original eight colours.
It’s almost Pride month, and with it, a whole plethora of fun events celebrating the 2SLGBTQ+ community. To honour that, I’ve made a bunch of Pride-themed pieces, now in my Etsy shop, including these two fabulous bib-style statement necklaces that I refer to as Caterpillars.
They’re lightweight, easy to clean and store and just might double as a low maintenance pet. Available in the traditional 6-colour rainbow flag version or the 5-stripe pastel Trans Pride flag.
I’ve continued to add new work to the abstract florals collection and I’m slowly getting these pieces added to my print on demand sites so these works are available on a variety of items.
Please visit the Abstract Florals page to see the whole collection, or check out the links in the Shop section of the sidebar to visit my collections on RedBubble, Society6 or Le Galeriste.
A few of the abstract floral works from my Grandmother’s Garden collection have been uploaded to various print on demand sites and are now available on a whole slew of things from clothing to paper products to decor items. I was especially happy with the way the artwork turned out on some pieces from le Galeriste – these are really lovely scarves, dresses, skirts, and tops (some are even reversible!) that would be perfect for summer occasions such as weddings.
Currently, I have items featuring Sakura, Poppies, Pansies and Bleeding Hearts. Mores styles in my le Galeriste shop, and more designs coming soon. Continue reading “Flower Power”
I went a bit crazy making the knotted beads, but I wanted to have lots of fun, easy pieces available for Pride next month. I’ve got some bigger, more ostentatious pieces coming next week, but these ones are simple but effective and remind me a lot of the piece of Pride-themed flash fiction I wrote a couple of years ago.
Available in both the 6-colour rainbow Pride flag and the 5-stripe Trans pride flag. Available from my Etsy shop.

Okay, so these were way more work than it looks, because hot glue is super-frustrating. But I think I came up with a collection of fun, lightweight, easy-to-wear necklaces that can be worn long, looped multiple times or paired up in fun colour combinations.
I’m working on some other seasonal pieces at the moment, but I’ll be adding more of these (in more colour combinations – I still have lots of white dots) as I have time.
These are $18 CAD each over on my Etsy shop.
This is a fun digital pattern, available in two colour-ways, on a variety of housewares, clothing, framed prints and even pet products.
Available from RedBubble, Society6, and Fine Art America.
More fun with digital art apps. The inspiration is the many artists I follow on Instagram who do this with real paint and canvas and make it look so easy. I’m learning, but I’m also frugal, so I hate painting irl and having it come out crap and wasting materials. This is much more satisfying… and cheaper.
Clearly I like the ruler thingie that allows me to make straight lines.
See what happens when I just paint freehand?
I’ve been playing with a bunch of art apps on my tablet, as well as in Paint Shop. This series started with the orange and yellow lilies that I did as a card for my Grandmother’s birthday. Then I just kept going.
Every piece is done with the same digital “sketch” brush/tool, so it’s similar to working with real paint and a palette knife.
These are meant to be loose and abstract. I’m very happy with them, and I’ve got a whole list of others flowers to add. I may upload them to the POD sites as prints or maybe notebooks or greeting cards, since that was the original intention with the first piece.
