I had a secret… a deep, dark secret that even my husband didn’t know the extent of. I…had a Monica closet. (If you watched “Friends” you know the reference;)) When we moved in two and a half years ago, despite the fact that I absolutely love organization, I literally threw a ton of stuff in my office closet, shut the door and tried to ignore the fact that every time I opened it, something fell out. So, as I am revamping my office space for recording new Skillshare classes, YouTube tutorials and (coming soon) YT/Insta live streams, I decided there was no better time to ditch the mess. My amazing husband, @joesmigielski put more shelves up for me and now all my video and photography equipment is organized and I can find anything at a glance. Bonus… I got to move our clunky laser printer in to the closet on this weird unused space created by our stairwell. Bigger bonus…I don’t have an avalanche of stuff falling out at me now and the space feels peaceful. Swipe left to see the horrifying “Before.” Now on to completing the rest of the room… more to come! #monicaclosetnomore #ditchthemess #organizationgoals #peacefulmindpeacefullife
NEW CLASS ALERT 🎉 well it’s about three days (and three months) later than I had planned to post it but, “Flat to Fabulous Vectors in Affinity Designer” is now live on my Skillshare channel! Want to create some Scandi inspired felt ornament illustrations? Join me and learn four ways I add texture and effects to my flat vector work to give it a more realistic feel. I’m using the iPad version of the app but you can follow along in the desktop version if you know where the tools are located. As a student you will receive my Scandi Ornament Assets pack, a set of vector embroidery brushes made from real stitches, a seamless felt pixel brush and over 30 colorful, seamless felt textures. If you love creating with vectors, but have been struggling to make them less, “vectory,” come join me in class! Find the link (and one free month for new members) at the link in my profile. Happy Creating!
