Starry Sky and Tent Out There Camping Shirt by sfcount
Design a tshirt at zazzle.com.

 Occasionally, off-the-wall things strike me funny and sometimes from that comes a design. This is one of those times. From something that struck me funny on an episode of American Dad.

Flutter by little butterfly

Discouraged by a lack of sales from - or seemingly even interest in - my store, I sat down to design last night with quite a bit of pessimism. I knew it was going to be something with a butterfly, but wasn't sure what. I used a photo my husband had taken last summer of a black swallowtail for my model. Using the airbrush tool in Corel Painter 4, I painted it in a soft yellow and added a few brownish-orange accents. With the same shade, I used the round tip pen tool to outline the butterfly and add a few more highlights. I then applied the watercolor illustration auto paint function giving it the nice, sort of undefined look. I used the variable angle image hose to add the flowers then finished with pairs of lines above each wing to imply movement. I'm quite happy with the outcome proving that I can still enjoy creating whether I believe anyone is looking or not.

Finally added a new line of products to my nurses' store.

My newest design. I'm really happy with the way it turned out - especially on the tees.

Animal Adoption Products

Animal rescue is a cause that is very near to my heart, so today I created a few products to (hopefully) encourage others to adopt animals who need homes the most.

Traffic to both my Zazzle stores has steadily declined over the past few days. Need to find some more ways to promote.

Here it is

I launched my new Zazzle store last night. It all about nurses and nursing. Here's hoping it goes well. http://www.zazzle.com/thenursesstation

Had an unbelievable sale on Zazzle yesterday. I sold twelve of these shirts! It's from an original mixed media drawing I did a while back. I guess it's time I stopped complaining about not having any sales. :-)
