Combining it all!
Clearly I have too many things that I want to do, too many interests!  I am finding ways to combine them all though, in surprising ways.  I can make textures for 3d models, use models to test out product ideas and showcase finished art, use the 3d art as bases for embroidery designs or for digital or even traditional art. 





These products don't actually exist, though I tried to make models that matched as closely as I could to the real products I have available to decorate.
I created these 3d models to showcase my embroidery designs.
Some of the programs I have been playing with:


I love textile art and often make small wallhanging quilts.  With my modeling software, I can create realistic projects to test out ideas before I make a product or sample.  I can even scan my fabrics and design with them.
