Adam came up with the name Foaminals. I think it works just nicely. I’m not sure exactly what the future holds for my Foaminals. We’re definitely starting with the children’s book and I’m working on my spring couture designs. I’m just really excited and inspired.

Here’s a logo for CBS interactive. It’s for a weekly web show TV BRIEFLY that gives you a summary of the CBS’s weekly top shows. I used one of my most favorite fonts to design it Univers.

Foam Hippo Redo

The hippo looks completely different in this redo also. I do miss the contrast of the green and purple in the first hippo but my cutting is so much better in the second hippo. And the eye size is much better on the second hippo.
Foam Duck Redo

Look at how far we’ve come. The design is so much better the second time around. It has so much more personality because I know what I’m doing now. See what practice does! The color looks a bit off because I used different foam colors.
Foam Animal: Ciara’s Whale

I would have to say I love Whales almost as much as I love Beagles. They are such great beautiful creatures. I wish I knew as much about them as I do about Beagles. I know we humans still don’t understand them as much as we would like too. And we probably bug the hell [...]
Foam Animal: Chital aka Spotted Deer

This Spotted Deer was a fun one to do because I felt like I was doing a Christmas reindeer since the antlers are red. You can’t be too choosey with color when working with fun foam. You gotta to work with what you have. The Chital aka Spotted Deer is foam animal 21.
Foam Animal: Female Koala

The Koala has been one of my favorite animals since I was a kid. I have always admired their lives of leisure. They get to live in a nice climate in Australia. They lounge around in trees, munch on leaves, and nap most of the day. I’d love a life like that. This foam Koala [...]
Foam Animal: Panda Bear

I have officially fallen in love with the Panda Bear. Looking at their cute faces, who wouldn’t? Truthfully, I didn’t use the sleeping panda photo to help create my foam panda bear, foam animal number 19. It’s just such a great photo, it would be criminal not to post it. With this foam panda, I [...]
Foam Animal: Dairy Cow

Here’s my foam dairy cow with a little more flair than the real cow. This is foam animal number 18. The real cow was just a little too boring! I actually looked at all sorts of cattle with horns, different colors, etc to give me ideas so my foam cow could have more pizazz. I’m [...]
