INTRODUCTION...

The original Fly Red Fish website is back up. I stopped posting in 2006 but will resume sharing links I find helpful and interesting. The studio blog will continue at www.madjonesdesign.com/blogspot.  

Thanks for visiting,

Monaluna Metro Market - Chickens, Summer

Are you looking for a funky print on a high quality cotton for your next craft project? Check out Cia's Palette. The site is easy to surf, safe to shop and highly recommended. I used a great goldfish print to make this apron.

Aprons are a pretty accessory and easy to make. There are many books on how to make aprons but you can get free patterns online at Tipnut. The links are up to date and the designs are cute. One of my favorites is the Valentine Apron (scroll down). It's a popular style but this version is a stand-out.

Pretty dresses are the best. When a woman wears one, her heels bounce, her voice giggles, and the sun looks brighter. Sunday Brunch Dress is an online shopping site that features dresses to look pretty in everyday... just because. The home page juxtaposes one dress with a piece of art. Take time to browse the online art gallery and a chatty and interesting blog.

I also like to surf the sale page at Anthropologie so I can stay on a budget. The on-line dresses are sized for women, not pixies.

And what do I wear with my dresses? Heels from Zappos, of course. Two recent buys I made online...

COOLnews

Marketing is a tricky topic. People will not always come if you build it. Cool News of the Day provides sound bites of what's hot in marketing now. They cover what big and little companies are doing to attract customers. The information is relevant and helpful to creative entrepeneurs who didn't go past Marketing 101.

Nothing is more daunting than a blank page. That is why I like Doodlers Anonymous. It is inspiring to see spontaneous art work that others have created. Relax, stop judging yourself and start drawing. Make a napkin a canvas.
