Coffee Mug Design for the Sewist and Crafter

I finally set up a shop to feature my art on products...
And just in time to celebrate

all the women in our lives!

These fun mugs 
would make any of us crafters, sewists, 
and makers happy!

I hand painted a vintage Singer sewing machine

and lots of notions in gouache for these.

Prefer something portable to carry

all those supplies?

This backpack is just the ticket!

Support your friend or family member's creativity

(and mine) with these fun products.

Creating Christmas

Merry Winter Quail (c) by Christina Mann Designs is available for licensing.

Because I absolutely love the art of Victoria Johnson, it was a real gift to obtain her knowledgable guidance through a 3-week online class called "Create Christmas."

With the beautiful color palettes Victoria provided and all the great design tips, I've been working on some holiday designs for my portfolio.  {Of course, I had to create some repeats, a skill I learned from the masterful Jessica Swift!}

I'm posting just a very few of the many designs I created.

Even though it is a very busy season, the class was very worthwhile and I would definitely recommend it!

Silly Chicken in Marker

Chicken eyes Caterpillar enamel dish set by Christina Mann Designs

Sometimes you gotta get a little funky!

I played around with markers

to make this curious little hen

eyeing her next meal.

Chicken eyeing Caterpillar

I don't know... 

that caterpillar looks like he

might be able to talk her

out of it!

I couldn't resist mocking them up
on a few items...
