Ok! Here is my very first finished design! It was the very first one I started when I was thinking about starting a clothing shop. I kept looking for a cameo shirt on Etsy, and I couldn't find one, not like what I wanted. So I decided to make it myself. Thus, the idea for Just Simply a Girl was born! Now when I first envisioned this, it was white on a navy hoodie, but I couldn't find a picture of what I was thinking of, so I used a pic of this baby blue hoodie. It's not my own, I borrowed it from SpikebySandy. I hope she doesn't mind.
I'm working on a lot of different things, and I'm getting really excited to see it start coming together.

Here it is! My new shop banner! Actually, I made it a little while ago, and I just got around to making a post about it. I used brushes that I found from RedHeadStock on DeviantArt to make it, and I'm simply in love love LOVE with it. I think I need to start making some of my own brushes to use too. I'm so happy with my banner, and it makes me even more excited to get my shop up and running. Still working on designs...some for right away, and some for later sections that I will add to it.
At first I would like to have items for women, but eventually I'd like to add a "Just Simply a Guy" section, and a "Just Simply a Kid" section. I know in the kid section I will have cartoony renditions of my monkeys from my Child of Hope shop. Those little guys actually do have a story behind them, but I've never done anything with it. At least I could draw them and make some cute shirts with the characters. That's the plan at least. First, I need to concentrate on actually cranking out some of the designs I have in the works. Oh yeah....then there's the actual screen printing....wish me luck on that! (pretty sure I'll need all I can get!)
Check back soon for some updates on the designs I have made so far.

So I have a new shop now! It's all bare and empty, but it's on Etsy just waiting to be filled with products. Finding the right name took forever. I was really set on a name, but someone else had signed up for the same account name, and then never used it. I just hate it when things like that happen. I couldn't think of anything else I liked, but then it just hit me to use my blog title.
So without further ado, my new shop is Just Simply a Girl. I think it fits, since my products are going to be tailored for women. Now I just have to get to screenprinting!
