Speaking of T-shirts, I hate this shirt with a passion. Just so awful...

Thanks :bawling:



I had to look that up :laugh:



They are Sakura flowers (Cherry blossoms). It's part of a series. I've also put them in sticker form and we hand them out to shopkeeps and other people just as a gesture. Sometimes if I mess up a sheet, I salvage what I can and let daughter attach it to her mirrors and drawing papers:

…ahhh, those beautiful pink blossoms, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen the form/shape close up before…that t-shirt design is so gorgeous…:lovedup:..I really feel that little Miss Maru’s friends…(…and lots of adults too…)…are going to be asking for designs from you…you must make Christmas time so very special with personally designed gifts for all of your family and friends…:love:…

I couldn't draw sakura by hand without tons of pictures so I also associate it with the color. So it took a bit to draw them out and I took the time to study it so I could move it to B&W... now I kind of recognize it better out in the wild if I see other black and white drawings... also stickers are life...:love:



Technology has really enabled a lot of things, Ammi. Some freely available tutorials and a good printer and a good plotter (cutty machine) :love: .. they make the kind that can fit on your kitchen counter and you can make insert cards really quickly from your phone. I bought one of those to try because I was getting interested into moving towards signage. I gifted the little machine and all the goodies to my MIL in the end after my trial period. She may or may not have needed a suitcase packed full of vinyl rolls (granted, they're thickly packaged) to go back to the NE... :laugh: (I may or may not have a problem)
