I'm still figuring out what I want to do with the Dragonflight Dreams screen printing shop this year. But I know one thing for sure: the one of a kind shirts need to go. They are great- bright and colorful, and an important step in my shop-running process. But they're...
First and foremost, don't forget you can find me this Saturday at the Rockin' Around the Holiday Bazaar in Round Rock, TX. More details here, and you can RSVP/share the even here. I'd love to meet some of my blog readers and shop fans in person! You can print off this...
The newest design slated to be added to the Dragonflight Dreams shop repertoire: If I think about a feather as an important mythological element, two things come to mind. The first is Egyptian mythology, where the hearts of the dead were weighed against a feather on...
Now that the craft show is past, I've been attending to a lot of the other to-do list items for my shop. First up, I'm finally getting photos of the made-to-order shirts on an actual person! Witness: Yeah, that's just me wearing them. I never know what to do with my...
If you've been around the blog awhile, you probably already know this as I've been talking about it for a few weeks. But this upcoming weekend is the annual Austin Craft Riot Summer Show. It's got over 70 local handmade artisans and food trucks and kids activities and...
I have less than 3 weeks until my first major craft show. Can we just take a second for me to freak out? Haha. Only half kidding. I've met with the gal I'm sharing a booth with (hi, Rachel!) and she was both super sweet and super helpful, so for a little while I was...
A new design! Here's the flower that I based it off of: And here's my design: This is a frangipani flower, though you may also know it as plumeria. I had never encountered it before doing my study abroad in Australia, and then I fell in love with it. It's still my...
I'm finally doing something I probably should have done as soon as I opened up my shop and had my first sale: a customer photo gallery. Because I love to see how my creations live out in the world! So now, if you send in a high-quality photo of yourself wearing the...
Surprise! The redesign bug bit me hard this weekend, and I've revamped the look of the blog and the shop, complete with new logo. If you're in an RSS reader or on Bloglovin, you may want to click over for the full effect. I'd been increasingly feeling that the old...
Just a quick note to let you all know that my latest screen design, the quatrefoil / four-leaf clover, is now live in the shop. See a few of the items below, and watch for more in the coming two weeks! I'll also be doing a larger version of this same design later this...
