MarthaDurkeDesign: FINDING MY VOICE
http://marthadurkedesign.blogspot.com/2009/07/finding-my-voice.html
A Good One to Start With. Sunday, July 19, 2009. Here's the pattern that was published in a Raleigh News and Observer newspaper article last December, about Spoonflower and its founders Stephen Fraser and Gart Davis (and Kim Fraser's contribution too). I was so flattered– no, honored– to have one of my pattern designs in that article. It kept me dancing around here for weeks, and still makes me very happy. You are so talented!

MarthaDurkeDesign: BLUE AVOCADO BAGS
http://marthadurkedesign.blogspot.com/2009/07/blue-avocado-bags.html
A Good One to Start With. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. I'm really proud of the work I did for Blue Avocado. Or I should say, I'm proud of what the Blue Avocado people did with my pattern! They incorporated it in their fabulously clever products that are a well-coordinated, smartly-marketed line of useful items that contribute to a greener world. And, I hear, they're doing it again. can't wait! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). San antonio, texas. Lucky to be me. View my complete profile. Etsy Find of the Day.

MarthaDurkeDesign: June 2012
http://marthadurkedesign.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
A Good One to Start With. Wednesday, June 13, 2012. Making the Invisible Visible. Having recently departed my full-time gig (really needed a major change) I actually have a little free time, in between job hunting efforts. I've been reflecting on the role of designers in commerce, the perceptions of those hiring and the obstacles we all build every day that block the flow. I try to visualize a more efficient way of accomplishing common goals. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). San antonio, texas. Lucky to be me.

MarthaDurkeDesign: Etsy Find of the Day
http://marthadurkedesign.blogspot.com/2009/07/etsy-find-of-day.html
A Good One to Start With. Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Etsy Find of the Day. I can't believe the design effort and talent that goes into buttons. Tiny little works of art. This pendant from Violin1. Is such a clever way to recycle old buttons into something wearable. She obviously is sensitive to keeping her vintage items as intact as possible. I can't stand to see old things ruined in the name of crafts! This is just great! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). San antonio, texas. Lucky to be me.

MarthaDurkeDesign: DREAMING OF RAIN
http://marthadurkedesign.blogspot.com/2009/07/were-experiencing-record-breaking-heat.html
A Good One to Start With. Wednesday, July 15, 2009. We're experiencing record-breaking heat and a 22-month drought here in central and south Texas. It wears us all down, that's for sure. More than a topic for elevator chit-chat, it's a serious problem. I think it makes everyone a little crazy. Here's a scan of a healthy plant I made last winter. Such rich color. Bound to come again someday, right? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). San antonio, texas. Lucky to be me. View my complete profile.

MarthaDurkeDesign: ANTIQUES EVEN I CAN AFFORD
http://marthadurkedesign.blogspot.com/2009/07/antiques-even-i-can-afford.html
A Good One to Start With. Friday, July 31, 2009. ANTIQUES EVEN I CAN AFFORD. I don't know what it is about this little shop. That I like so much. I think it's because the first time I went in there they had stuff that was distinctly primitive Texas. My favorite antiques are the spare, simple pared down pieces that seem to be authentically Texan- Depression-era and earlier. Last time not so much, but antiques scouting is never the same twice so that's OK. Still good. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

MarthaDurkeDesign: CITY QUILT
http://marthadurkedesign.blogspot.com/2009/07/city-quilt.html
A Good One to Start With. Saturday, July 18, 2009. I've made a few collages with my patterns. They're a great exercise in composition. I envision them as actual quilts or just graphics on a wall. I set out to take the patterns further than just themselves as a way of seeing them differently and hopefully making them better, but they become a work unto themselves. Time consuming but a lot of fun. I absolutely adore this collage! You do funky so well. I love you, my super-talented friend. San antonio, texas.

MarthaDurkeDesign: Me & Robot Art Gallery - A Perfect Match!
http://marthadurkedesign.blogspot.com/2010/04/me-robot-art-gallery-perfect-match.html
A Good One to Start With. Sunday, April 4, 2010. Me and Robot Art Gallery - A Perfect Match! I have been working hard these last several weeks to launch my prints in a gallery setting. It's been so exciting. I don't know how these things happen but somehow they always work out. what they want seemed to be work like mine, very graphic-design oriented, and I needed an opportunity like this one to push the work to the next level of exposure and presentation. I'm thrilled! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
