The fun of surface design.....and some really cool packaging.....

I love working on surface designs....you can create a few pieces and collage them together to make something totally new...or place them in a circle for a paper plate or in a line for some fun party napkins.....Above I have my initial sketch and then I took the piece and created some fun designs for paper surfaces...from scrap book pages to gift wrap....so much furn to create and change something in to many new things.....and just by changing the background you can achieve so many new looks.........

I also love looking at things in shops that use art for surface designs...from cards, to fabric to gift wrap and party supplies....it is always so much fun to see all the new designs that come out each year....and it is a wonderful market to get into....licensing art for surface designs.....so if you're into art or illustration you should think about whether or not licensing is a good fit for you.....

I also love packaging design....and a company that I really think is nifty creates the coolest boxes for their chipboard collections....K and Company has been creating neatest boxes filled with the cutest chipboard pieces that are double sided and glittered....I would love to work for K and Company designing these boxes and the wonderful fillings.....

I buy them and leave them in my studio for inspiration when it comes to packaging.....the Halloween one and the new Christmas one is my favorite.....

Well I am off to work on some more surface designs and some freebies for all of you....so thank you for popping by!!!!

Happy Creating!
