I am a huge fan of black on white.  I find simple black and white designs very relaxing, my eye has places to rest and it always looks clean and crisp.  Bold black designs on white feel more timeless to me.  I wear a lot of black or white (add jeans and that's my daily uniform) but I am slowly embracing color.  Maybe not so much in my wardrobe, but in my surroundings at home.  

Part 2 of How to Create a Collection with life i design gives you a glimpse into the creative process of brainstorming, sketching and create a new line of products, artwork etc.  www.lifeidesign.com

I've picked up new brush pens, felt tip pens, calligraphy nibs and inks.  I have been exploring, experimenting and am really excited about what is showing up creatively.  If you are an Instagram addict like myself, search the hashtag #inktober and peruse all the fabulous ink work!

I've been planning to commit to drawing, painting, sketching everyday for a while now and have yet to start ... until today!! Luckily I came across this great challenge for the month of October called Inktober founded originally by a very talented artist Jake Parker.
