This is a compilation of unique flower designs and images that can be interpreted into beautiful and original tattoos.  A few are shaded and colored, but for the most part they are inked lines on a white page.  Many of these flower images have detailed lines, but all of them can be easily simplified.  I have seen so many traditional flowers, roses, lilies, etc..... I wanted to create something different, something I would gladly adorn myself with, and I have....

Here is just a sample...

New Oven Mitt On Sale!

New Oven Mitt on sale at Envelop!



"In Bloom"
By Tamara Weiss
Front and back they are both the same


I never really know what flower I am drawing, it is kinda a hybrid of sorts, the petals just unfold as I am drawing and I let it take shape.

New Designs!

In Bloom

For the past couple of days I have been working on a few new exciting designs. I started with a simple pen and ink line drawing and watercolors gave it shape and color...


I have been trying to translate my flower drawings into beautiful items for the home. I am usually prone to overdesign, the more ornate the better, but lately I am trying to go for the more simple, subtle style.

This pillow comes in various sizes and is available to purchase online at:

This tote bag, I am still working on and should be available soon..


Envelop is such a fantastic source not only for an artist to explore design, but also for the buyers to get something unique and special.

My hope for the future is to create my own line of accessories and fashion apparrel and envelop allows me the opportunity to see what designs you, the audience, like....so any feed back, negative or positive, is much needed and appreciated... Thanks! Enjoy! Stay tuned for more to come!

SPOONFLOWER/ FLAVOR PAPER/ UNIQUE DESIGNS



Spoonflower is an amazing website that allows you to create your own textile and patterns, sell them and shop for other unique textiles created by artists.  It is truly a fantastic place to play, design and explore pattern....the possibilites are endless...

I found this site many years ago and up until recentley, I never tapped into this source.  There are so many places online now to explore design...it is exciting..

This gave me the idea to play with my own Illustrations.....


This is a play with "Red Hots and Lemon Heads", an original Illustration, done with Pen and Ink, Color Pencil, Charcoal, Cut Paper and Mixed Media. 


My soon to be Mother-in-law has this piece hanging in her home...love ya Barbara!


This is a play with "Lazy Daisy Cake", again an original Illustration done with, Pen and Ink, Color Pencil, Charcoal, Cut Paper and Mixed Media. 



For inspiration there is also an incredible site for the most insanely beautiful wall coverings.

These are a just a few of my favorite designs:


Power Plant / Designed by Dan Funderburgh


City Park/ Designed by Dan Funderburgh


Shore Leave/ Designed by Emily Minnie

This company produces some of the most amazing wall coverings, their use of color and distintive designs are hands down the most inspiring images I have seen in a long time....This goes way beyond your mom and dads floral dining room wallpaper....
