(<a href="http://www.etsy.com/search/handmade?q=custom+wire+hangers">Link</a>)<br />
<br />
I did! So much so that I had to buy some supplies and give it a go! Since doing that, I've had a lot of people (brides-to-be) asking me how to make them. Well, here is how!<br />

<br />
I have recently been revived and inspired, craft-wise, by a lot of the brides I talk to on Instagram and The Knot911. To help my fellow brides and crafty folks, I have made a YouTube channel that focuses on DIY projects! :)<br />
<br />
Here is the link: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/rrpalacios2011">http://www.youtube.com/user/rrpalacios2011</a><br />

You know, for a design blog, this looks like it's lacking a lot of design to it. I'm actually kind of embarrassed. lol.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the point of this blog is NOT to talk about how I use an ugly template, it's to show some works that I'm really digging right now. Typically I show these on my dA page but I'm trying to branch out a bit. lol.<br />
<br />
So, here they are, in no particular order (except by category..lol):<br />
<br />
<b>Digital and Traditional Paintings</b><br />
I have a deep love for traditional art but that doesn't mean digital art isn't equally awesome! Here are some examples!<br />

I think it's mainly because I keep more up-to-date info on my deviantART journal but I'm still holding on to this as well. I thought I would post a few projects I've done for my job. I don't post work projects on my deviantART account but you can see those as well as my personal stuff in my portfolio: <a href="http://rlhcreations.daportfolio.com/">http://rlhcreations.daportfolio.com/</a><br /><br />Just a little background info my 9-5: At work I specialize in print advertisements of all kinds. I mainly work on box art/box labels for products (you can see these in your local office supply stores), flyers, brochures, hang tags (also seen in local office supply stores) and presentations. Here is a little taste of that:<br /><br /><b>Brochures</b><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bje6WlEPCzo/TS1MHGef5nI/AAAAAAAAANE/pfPBMGx3XBo/s1600/Canada_Brochure_Layout.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 247px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bje6WlEPCzo/TS1MHGef5nI/AAAAAAAAANE/pfPBMGx3XBo/s320/Canada_Brochure_Layout.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561184799753758322" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bje6WlEPCzo/TS1MPSAPacI/AAAAAAAAANM/AaYfbwjR_fY/s1600/Space_Brochure_Layout.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 247px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bje6WlEPCzo/TS1MPSAPacI/AAAAAAAAANM/AaYfbwjR_fY/s320/Space_Brochure_Layout.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561184940287027650" /></a><br /><br /><b>Hang Tags</b><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bje6WlEPCzo/TS1MZdD5RqI/AAAAAAAAANU/UTnmB9qFbS4/s1600/OfficeDepot_HangTags_Layout.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 247px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bje6WlEPCzo/TS1MZdD5RqI/AAAAAAAAANU/UTnmB9qFbS4/s320/OfficeDepot_HangTags_Layout.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561185115053835938" /></a><br /><br /><b>Flyers & Ads</b><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bje6WlEPCzo/TS1MwAeBIXI/AAAAAAAAANc/l1uDC0D0lXc/s1600/Flyers_Layout.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 247px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bje6WlEPCzo/TS1MwAeBIXI/AAAAAAAAANc/l1uDC0D0lXc/s320/Flyers_Layout.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561185502515765618" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bje6WlEPCzo/TS1M4gttYKI/AAAAAAAAANk/fu1W4DR67Bo/s1600/Vikas_Magazine_Ad_5.5x3.5_12-10_RGB.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 203px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bje6WlEPCzo/TS1M4gttYKI/AAAAAAAAANk/fu1W4DR67Bo/s320/Vikas_Magazine_Ad_5.5x3.5_12-10_RGB.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561185648610468002" /></a><br /><br /><b>Logos</b><br />(These are from work and freelance jobs)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bje6WlEPCzo/TS1NHOMSvQI/AAAAAAAAANs/YRAUm0OfPZQ/s1600/Misc%2BLogos.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 247px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bje6WlEPCzo/TS1NHOMSvQI/AAAAAAAAANs/YRAUm0OfPZQ/s320/Misc%2BLogos.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561185901336509698" /></a><br /><br />Hopefully you enjoyed!

I sure do believe them now! Lately, I've been in a bit of a rut music-wise and that tends to affect my artist vibe quite a bit. My fiance suggested I listen to some classical music and so I downloaded the Fantasia soundtrack (I love the movie but only have it on VHS) as well as looked up some of my faves on youtube. Right now, Moonlight Sonata is transforming my mind! It's always been a fave of mine but I never realized how helpful it could actually be until now!<br /><br />Since my rut has been ongoing, I only have a few projects to add on from my last post. I'm currently working on a vector right now. I hope to make some good progress on it this weekend.<br /><br /><object width="450" height="548"><param name="movie" value="http://backend.deviantart.com/embed/view.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="id=155511782&width=1337" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://backend.deviantart.com/embed/view.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" flashvars="id=155511782&width=1337" height="548" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/155511782/">Stefan Salvatore</a> by =<a class="u" href="http://rlhcreations.deviantart.com/">rlhcreations</a> on <a href="http://www.deviantart.com">deviant</a><a href="http://www.deviantart.com">ART</a><br /><br /><object width="450" height="460"><param name="movie" value="http://backend.deviantart.com/embed/view.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="id=162008443&width=1337" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://backend.deviantart.com/embed/view.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" flashvars="id=162008443&width=1337" height="460" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/162008443/">Chris Carrabba</a> by =<a class="u" href="http://rlhcreations.deviantart.com/">rlhcreations</a> on <a href="http://www.deviantart.com">deviant</a><a href="http://www.deviantart.com">ART</a><br /><br /><object width="450" height="392"><param name="movie" value="http://backend.deviantart.com/embed/view.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="id=163070309&width=1337" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://backend.deviantart.com/embed/view.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" flashvars="id=163070309&width=1337" height="392" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/163070309/">RLHCreations</a> by =<a class="u" href="http://rlhcreations.deviantart.com/">rlhcreations</a> on <a href="http://www.deviantart.com">deviant</a><a href="http://www.deviantart.com">ART</a><br /><br /><object width="450" height="392"><param name="movie" value="http://backend.deviantart.com/embed/view.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="id=165678840&width=1337" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://backend.deviantart.com/embed/view.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" flashvars="id=165678840&width=1337" height="392" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/165678840/">No Escaping Your Love</a> by =<a class="u" href="http://rlhcreations.deviantart.com/">rlhcreations</a> on <a href="http://www.deviantart.com">deviant</a><a href="http://www.deviantart.com">ART</a><br /><br /><object width="450" height="548"><param name="movie" value="http://backend.deviantart.com/embed/view.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="id=165775158&width=1337" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://backend.deviantart.com/embed/view.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" flashvars="id=165775158&width=1337" height="548" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/165775158/">Don't Rain on my Parade</a> by =<a class="u" href="http://rlhcreations.deviantart.com/">rlhcreations</a> on <a href="http://www.deviantart.com">deviant</a><a href="http://www.deviantart.com">ART</a><br /><br />As you can see, I've been messing around with different styles.

Well that seems to be true for me right now but it's all happening in one part of my life. The artistic part. While my personal work seems to be flourishing and I finally seem to be finding the things I really enjoy doing, the professional design side of me has gone to shit. I have a new found love for vectoring and I'm like a sponge with it right now. Going through tutorials, pushing myself to do greater things with it. I'm loving it. However, my graphic designer side has gone down the hill. To the point where I feel like an amateur. And that really shouldn't be happening considering I've been doing it professionally for 5+ years. I suppose it doesn't help to have a boss that doesn't like a damn thing I do. but whatever. <br /><br />Sometimes I think that design was the wrong field to go in. I've always been artistic and I've always been attached to my work. I mean it's part of being an artist. Being a graphic designer, they say you have to take away that element because there is ALWAYS going to be someone who doesn't like what you do. It's not like being a sales man or doing accounting or some other job like that. You're head, or rather soul, isn't on the chopping block. But then what does that make me if I detach myself from my work? A machine? It doesn't make me feel like I'm an artist? <br /><br />I was talking to my boss (who is a photographer) about this. He was saying that he doesn't want our 10 other bosses making us into machines because the quality of work goes down. The art comes out of it because there's no passion for it anymore. No love. I truly feel that I have lost the love for design. I don't think it's a permeant thing but it's been going on long enough to bug me and long enough for me to hate doing any sort of creative projects at work. I used to thrive on those projects. I loved doing them. I loved the challenge. I don't love it anymore. Not when I cant get the ideas out. Not when I know no matter how much time and effort I put into it that I'm going to get some boss telling me it sucks and to redo it. Ugh...it's exhausting. <br /><br />Despite all this drama going on in my head and at work, I still feel 2010 is going to be a good year. I've found what I want to do for the long run. I want to have my own design studio where I'm the boss. Not 10 different bosses telling me 10 different things to do and then yelling at me because I didn't listen. Not a boss saying he wants to know if he's "getting his moneys worth" out of my department. (Ouch right?) Nothing too big. maybe 5 designers max in a small place where we can work in a comfortable environment. (Have you seen Google's office?) This isn't something I expect right away. I've gotta work up to it. Get more clients. But it's my goal to be achieved in the next few years and I'm working for it now. My boyfriend is a designer too so he's helping out. We're trying to come up with names, write out contracts, get more freelance work (especially more repeat freelance work). We're making our website. I feel good about this.<br /><br />Anyway, I should probably end this here. I'm rambling on and on. lolReginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03991354527827930958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292370114660315759.post-29195616886018822122009-12-15T22:02:00.000-08:002009-12-15T22:12:08.510-08:00Christmas Giveaway by Kmye ChanThe wonderful and talented artist, <a href="http://www.kmye-chan.com/">Kmye Chan</a>, will be giving away a limited edition print!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bje6WlEPCzo/Syh5R5YsfEI/AAAAAAAAAMw/G70Iw_SoFKk/s1600-h/kmye-chan_giveaway.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 160px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bje6WlEPCzo/Syh5R5YsfEI/AAAAAAAAAMw/G70Iw_SoFKk/s320/kmye-chan_giveaway.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415711900282158146" /></a><br /><br />From Kmye Chan's Blog:<br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Hello everyone!<br />And yes, it's Christmas time again, and that means it's time for me to spoil you! ^_^<br /><br />On Christmas day I'll be offering to one of my readers a limited edition print of Paper Birds...
