Oh i loved working on this one! this one was a custom request from a friend Kimberly her inspiration came from a clothing line she wanted to have similar images to .
And then she was generous enough to offer it for resale through the store! so just added it to Etsy,

Good thing : Recipie for a flu remidi
As per my last post i am under the flu attack but one thing that saved me from flu turning to cough and a longer illness is a recipe which i have found very practical and i thought it is a good thing to share with other too.
For kids all ages over 2
1 tsp honey
pinch cinnamon powder
small pinch (bearable) black pepper
1/2 tsp ginger juice , (can be obtained by crushing 1/2 inch piece of ginger and then pressing between your CLEAN fingers)
Mix and give 2 times a day.
Cinnamon and ginger have expectorant qualities and black pepper and honey help sooth the throat while drying up the flu.
The Ultimate Flu Prevention tea
Mix all the above ingredients , instead of cinnamon powder add 1 stick of it , instead of crushed ginger add 1inch piece of it and a few noncrushed black pepper seeds. Add water bring to a boil and leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes take this tea as many times as you can
it is Very effective. Try it let me know if it worked for you !

I have down with flu and temperature for the last couple of days and i think during this time i have created more colorful graphics than the usual days :) . While browsing my latest find is a very yummy blog which i think i found at just the right time when i am exploring colors and trying to find inspirations. The blog is Simply Hue . Although i haven't browsed through the past posts but the flickr collections of color inspirations are just so very lovely!.
Maybe i will get some more inspiration and create some color swatches from these collections later on.
Latest on the store front has been a few products additions which i would really love to share with you . The one that took a little time for me to create is the Calender 2010 photoshop brushes set.

While coming up for a new clipart set or stock image for stock illustration sites One of my biggest challenges had been the color scheme . And mostly i have followed me instincts and my own eye.
While during the past week i have found many inspirational color swatches over at kuler which i would love to use in my next creation. And since many or few of you might know that i create cliparts for my own store AiFactory and for stock agnecies i need to follow some inspiration . So i am starting to challenge myself with color schemes . I hope to create more thematic , colorful and lively images while following these challenges i do hope that i will also sharpen my eye for color.
So here is the deal ! I will challenge myself and you the reader to create any form of creation ! it can be an imagery , a graphic design project , a clipart or illustration project , a scrapbooking project OR any creative media! . You and me will have a week to come up with something and post the link over here !.
I am not expecting at the moment that many people will be interested in this but for me this is a quest to exploring colors and sharpening my skills . I will have a round of 15 to 20 challenges and i will post what i will be creating with it ! you are welcome to join me in this quest!. Here is Todays Follow the Color Challenge #1
