So, I registered my domain name... well, ages ago. Probably it's been at least six months. And I sort of had an idea to make it a site for just cards, and had designed the whole thing as a kind of giant card, and with the purpose of marketing cards. But then I realized that really, what I want is a place that has the flavor of what I like to create, samples of projects & instructions for folks who take my classes, a portfolio of work for customers and potential customers to see, and a place to post news and class schedule information. So, I've been pondering the design. Last week, I thought I'd really found something that would work. Looked easy to build and a nice clean design. But then I decided it looked dated and I wanted something that was both more artsy and more current. So here's the sketch of my concept, inspired by a number of things: the Irregular Choice web site, the Purple Onion Designs & Self-Addressed design-a-stamp contest, Rosie's Roadshow, the new Basic Grey rub-ons, Claudine Hellmuth's poppets, and Rhonna Farrer's digital swirly fabulousness... ta da!
