The Way My Mind Works
Psst, I have a secret. I am going to reveal my design process for the pillow pictured below. Here goes...
Create your characters as a separate file - that way you can use them over and over.

I was washing my car and my son kept getting in the way, so I turned the hose on him. My niece found it hilarious, so she grabbed the hose and joined in on the fun.

My son was having a blast,

[/caption]
he called his younger cousin to join in
[caption id="attachment_319" align="alignnone" width="400" caption="Soaked"]
[/caption]
The image needed some depth, so I added a scenery. BTW, there no natural hills in South FL - we have a few man made ones - they are garbage dumps.
[caption id="attachment_320" align="alignnone" width="400" caption="Add a skyline"]
[/caption]
Then I added some trees - I cheated, these trees came bundled with Adobe Illustrator, (also, the image of Matt. was from another project). I also decided to crop the image a bit - there was too much sky.
[caption id="attachment_321" align="alignnone" width="400" caption="Love the trees"]
[/caption]
And a few flowers and butterflies... These are apart of Illustrator as well.
[caption id="attachment_322" align="alignnone" width="400" caption="I Love Daisy"]
[/caption]
I could have changed the color of Matthew's pants, but I really liked the quilted effect.
[caption id="attachment_324" align="alignnone" width="400" caption="How about Red pants"]
[/caption]
Next stop, transfer the image to fabric and make a pillow, quilt, wall hanging...
There you have it - a playful summer pillow - its summer all year round.
