Behind the Scenes
Here you will find a small look into the life of me and sometimes Squiglet as graphic designers. :-) Some behind the scenes photos and possibly even a video from time to time (in order from newest to oldest). Just a small glimpse into our world to see the process from whimsical doodle to finished product brought to you here on Caroling Lilies for the child at heart.
Floral Doodle
January 2026 - Behind the scenes, look in the sketchbook. A little something I was working on yesterday for someone. Thinking about moving it to Inkscape and adding color to it.
In The Works...
January 2026 - Lil miss silly squiglet and I are collaborating on another project together. Here is the beginning of it. I'm hoping it turns out the way we are seeing it in our heads.
Stickers & Stamps, Oh MY!
August 2021 - Stickers and stamps came in for The Cowboy Corral GP! We love how they turned out! She’s excited to use them for bags and other things. I’m so happy that another client is happy with a design.
Design Critiques From a Kitten
July 2021 - Been working on something new and different for some folks who didn’t get exactly what they asked for. So, I’m playing around and seeing what I can do. This is crazy early in the design process, however I like how it’s progressing… I think. Someone else seems to have some critiques about it as well. Maple the design kitten.
T-Shirts Came In!!
July 2021 - The Cowboy Corral T-Shirt came in and it looks great! The colors are not as dark as I thought they were going to be, but that's okay. This one is an order from my zazzle online store.
Cowboy Corral Commission
June 2021 - Putting the final touches on the designs for @thecowboycorralgp. The black and white version will be options for vinyl stickers and the color version will be what is on products and in ads. What are your thoughts?
Edit: the colors turned out darker here than in person.
Head on over to the new Instagram page for Cowboy Corral to keep up to date with sales, new items and more for the store.
Dinner While We Design
September 2020 - Sometimes you don't stop for dinner, you just press on through. I took my dinner at my desk that even while working on my latest creation for my love of Oregon. Fires were bad that year. Note: You can also see another design of ours on the pillow on my lap at the time. :)
3AM Technical Difficulties'
September 2020 - Pic one - What it feels like at 3am when you still can't get the video to upload to YouTube for the weekly deadline.
Pic Two- Nope...Not even at 3:30am, things just aren't working. Time to call it a night and accept the video is going to be late.
Arts & Crafts
September 2020 - When we're not designing we enjoy other crafts. Did some resin pieces in the last couple of days. To see how I went about doing these little pretties, check out my new art video posted today on my YouTube channel! If resin is your thing be sure to check it out at the link below:
Cat Vinyl Sticker
