BeHinD the SeAmS - Part ONE: TwirlyGirl Headquarters


I thought it might be fun to take you behind the scenes and show you how every TwirlyGirl item comes to life. The process has a lot of steps but it’s totally fun and you’ll even get to be a part of it. I'm right in the middle of creating new styles for the upcoming season. Even as you are r-e-a-d-i-n-g this, our clothing is being sewn (except if it's nighttime). And here's the super cool part, YOU will get the chance to "name" the new styles before we add them to the website! 

    So follow me every week as I take you on this Twirly adventure - it will be all wrapped up around the middle of June.    Don't be shy, ask questions, tell me what you think - I LOVE your feedback!  You can also follow TwirlyGirl on Facebook



Part ONE:  TwirlyGirl Headquarters

Everything begins here.


     I love working here!  It's bright and colorful which makes it a very happy place for creating.  We are on the 10th floor and have been adopted by a few, daredevil pigeons. Heather and I (see who Heather is by clicking her name) usually jump out of our skin when they fly really close to the windows.    



     Of course, creating isn't just about "thinking", it's about being "inspired".  What inspires me is imagining how to turn an ordinary thing into an EXTRAordinary thing.  That's the fun and exciting part for me.  That's how I came up with 6 new designs for this next season.  They are all styles that I feel I can do my own special way.  

    OK, I have the designs swimming in my head, what do I do next?  I'll let you know in Part TWO of BeHinD the SeAmS - Sketchs & Samples: not so Simple.


Twirly Tidbit:
What kinds of things do you do that are not like anybody else?  Do eat toast a certain way - crust off/on - from the inside out?  How do you hold your pencil?  Do you draw from a picture in your head or what you are seeing with your eyes?   It's cool to notice how unique each of us really is - even if we are all doing the same thing - we don't all do it the same way.  Even the pigeons flying outside our 10th story window have their own way of struttin' their stuff.
