absurdly peculiar

Happy New Year! So glad 2020 is over and looking forward to the new year.  Towards the end of the last year, I invested in an Ipad to learn how to create digital art. I've been putting that Ipad to use by creating digital art for shirts on Amazon Merch. You can check out all my designs here:  Absurdly Peculiar Shirts I will be continually updating this site with new designs. Here are some of the new designs I have so far: I've been enjoying learning the whole process so far and hope I keep learning new things!

I keep on blaming the Holidays for having a slump in the DIY idea/inspiration department.  I mean there are so many things you could technically DIY, but I haven't found a project that excited me, until this baby was brought home to me: Someone in my family asked me if I wanted this and the answer was no.  I know, I know...I can use it for so many things... groceries, library books, a lunch bag...etc. but lets be honest, it is plain ugly. I started thinking how it would either end up in a dumpster or be kept away in some part of the apartment (pretending that it will eventually be whipped out for something but truthfully, it will never see the light of day like so many of the free advertised tote bags I have).  So instead of dumping it/never fufilling its life purpose... I decided to fix it so it can live up to its potential. Lucky you, ugly tote bag! Inspirations for the design came from research for my Distracted... post; specifically, from the following:

I finally submitted my design for the UGG Australia Design for a Cause. For some reason I found it a bit challenging but in the end, I opted for something simple and not too over the top because that way it can be worn with almost anything. I was inspired by a chevron pattern and it is probably due to this post and this .
