I have been so inspired by calligraphy lately. Fortunately, I know one of the best calligraphers in Seattle, <a href="http://handwrittenlife.com/classes-workshops/" target="_blank">Caitlin Dundon</a>! </div>

Sunday night I took one of her classes. It was fantastic! First, she is great teacher -- encouraging, patient and funny. Second, the concentration required made the whole experience very meditative. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since the class, I have been adding 10 minutes of practice into my morning painting ritual. Practice makes perfect!</div>

I am proud to be a contributor for the second year to the <b><a href="https://www.graphicartistsguild.org/handbook" target="_blank">Graphic Art Guild Handbook: Pricing and Ethical Guidelines</a>. </b>This book is considered to be the industry bible for communication design professionals and illustrators. The current edition continues the tradition with new
information, listings and pricing guidelines. It addresses legal rights and
issues such as how copyright laws affect the income and work of graphic
artists. It also provides tips on how to negotiate the best deals, pricing
guidelines, and includes sample contracts. A great resource every designer should have!</div>

I have been busy stocking up the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/dianekappa?section_id=14437243" target="_blank">Etsy</a> shop this week! Screen prints are now available! </div>

These were made in class I took while in Budapest. It was so much fun to learn the process, get my hand dirty and make art. I have three designs: a folky design, a large floral and a smaller wandering rose floral. I want to take another class soon so I can add some more designs to the shop. I have so many design ideas brewing in my mind!</div>

The<b> iPad covers</b> is akin to a hardback book cover. Using eco-friendly inks, the designs are printed onto the same vinyl used on race cars. A cast over laminate is added to make the cover resistant to tears, stains and water. The vinyl is wrapped around recycled book boards and a polycarbonate shell is added to hold your device securely in place. The best part of the book cover is that is doubles as a stand in landscape mode and supports the sleep mode when you close the cover.</div>

It has been a crazy week. Redesigning the website, signing new contracts and finishing a collection has kept me busy. I hope to get back to <a href="http://www.dianekappablog.com/2013/10/this-weeks-instagram-images.html" target="_blank">morning paintings</a> next week. Until then, let me introduce a new fabric collection with David Textiles called Charleston. Look for in JoAnn's fabric store in November!</div>

The mossy green, chocolate brown and red violet look so fresh and forward.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For the past 10 years I have designed a calendar showcasing the most popular prints as well as some new designs. For 2014 I went in a different direction aiming for a more loose and free form design. The calendar is one of my top sellers on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/dianekappa" target="_blank">Etsy</a> especially in Australia where design tastes are so rich, colorful and full of wonderful pattern. I am thinking a trip to Australia may need to be put on the calendar!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Calendars are available on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/dianekappa" target="_blank">Etsy</a> starting November 1st. For Diane Kappa Designs' clients keep an eye on your mailbox mid-December!</div>

While others relate musical scores.<br />
<br />
But who says what is lime green vs. apple green? Well-known Pantone is an excellent attempt to level the playing field. I am always thumbing through my Pantone books trying to find that right color. But even using industry standards depends on our own color acuity.<br />
<br />
There is a color test making the rounds right now. You've maybe seen it already. The test was created by our friends at Pantone. When I worked at Nordstrom we had to take a similar color test. I couldn't remember my score so I took the Pantone <a href="http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?pageid=77&lang=en" target="_blank">test</a>. I scored a 7. A decent score. Good thing given my profession!<br />
<br />
<b>What did you score?</b><br />

The saying goes '<b>We are only as good as our last idea.' </b>In our fast paced and trend directed design world, it demands we are constantly learning and pushing ourselves. I thrive in this environment but time is alway my enemy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last month I fit in two painting classes that couldn't be more different from one another. I am scheduled to take a calligraphy class this month. It is not to say I will master each new technique. It does keep my creative heart and mind engaged though!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I <a href="http://www.dianekappablog.com/2013/09/morning-painting.html" target="_blank">mentioned</a> Mati Rose's six-week painting course, "Daring Adventures in Paint,"where I am experiementing with acrylics and collage. I also tried my hand at botanical illustration taught by a wonderful teacher and artist, <a href="http://florawithfauna.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Kathleen McKeehan</a>. It was a short class so I didn't produce much to show you. This meticulous and time-comsuming watercolor technique was like meditation for me...like doing yoga. Below are some of Kathleen's amazing watercolors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Below is the beginning of my painting. I know it doesn't look like much but botanical drawing is all about studying details and trying to replicate what nature has created. </div>

I think this is why I am so focused on color right now. Autumn produces a burst vibrant hues but this time of the year also reminds us that color is temporary and winter is approaching.<br />
<br />
No better time to come across distinguished photographer Eric Meola's <a href="http://www.ericmeola.com/portfolio/photography/india" target="_blank">work</a>. I especially gravitated toward his photos from India where part of my design heart lies. Meola's deep understanding of color results in powerful and inspiring images. I am already eyeing his updated <a href="http://www.amazon.com/India-Word-Image-Eric-Meola/dp/1599620499/ref=la_B001JP8GB0_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1380732954&sr=1-2" target="_blank">book</a>, <i>INDIA: In Word & Image</i>, as an addition to my library. Meola's work will certainly help keep me inspired and 'creatively warm' through the winter.<br />

Three weeks ago I posted a <a href="http://www.dianekappablog.com/2013/09/morning-painting.html" target="_blank">painting</a> I was working on. I have spent a bit more time on the leaves and flowers. It is not a masterpiece by any means but the process has been fun and getting over the obstacle of a white canvas looking back at me has been easier than I thought. I am very excited to start the next painting.</div>

We may have reminded you of this love affair in "Everything Red." In our quest, we recently discovered Austin, Texas, photographer Emily Blincoe. Given our eye for anything floral, her "<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emilyblincoe/9624475990/" target="_blank">Garden Collection</a>" caught our attention. Blincoe's "<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emilyblincoe/9425123621/" target="_blank">Sugar Series</a>" is also inspiring. <b>Ideas for <i>candied</i> prints are just jumping off the page.</b> But don't forget to eat your <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emilyblincoe/9323982825/in/set-72157633755802272/" target="_blank">veggies</a>!<br />

One of the assignments is to take 10 photos of things that are red (my favorite color). This project came at a perfect time. We have a Hungarian friend visiting and we have been playing tourists for the past 5 days. It is so fun to pretend you are visiting your home city for the first time. Having a focus such as 10 photos that are red makes it even more interesting. You begin to notice the unusual.<br />

I challenge you to pick a color and go explore your neighborhood with a camera. </div>

Below are my findings.</div>
