What Does The Pink Moon Have To Do With a Scarf Sale?

The Full Pink Moon
©jlopez2026

Hello Beautiful Friends! 

I took the picture above while visiting Phoenix last week. Did you have a chance to view the Pink Moon? In case you don't follow all things Astronomy, that's the name for April's Full Moon. It is named the Pink Moon because the flowers start to bloom this time of year! It's sort of a bummer that it is not actually pink in color. 💖

In case you missed the Pink Moon in person, I am having a super sweet Pink Moon Sale in my Etsy Shop right now! All SCIARPA! Scarves are on sale through Saturday night!

This month will be my second in-person Market on April 26th. It will be at the Lake San Marcos Pavilion. Keep your eyes out for the flyer. It will be a great event to hear great music, peep some art and photography, and find Mom the perfect gift!

What fun excursions do you have planned for April? Let me know in the comments below!

 Peace, Love, and Creativity, 

Jodi

Designing With Pantone's Color of the Year for 2025

Hello Beautiful Friends!

In case you hadn't heard, Pantone released their Color of the Year for 2025:

MOCHA MOUSSE was the big winner this year!

The Color of the Year (COTY) from Pantone often forecasts what's coming in fashion, home decor, and design trends. The average consumer does not think along the lines of what the design world might be planning when making a purchase. I am right there. However, as a graphic designer and a designer of fashion and home decor, I am eager to see what color is picked by Pantone each year. 

This year's pick, Mocha Mousse, seems to be perfect for neutral or earth tone-based design applications. Here are a few pattern designs I created for my Spoonflower shop based on the COTY, Mocha Mousse and the coordinating color palette supplied by Spoonflower. Some of these designs are also available in my Raspberry Creek Fabrics Shop. 

Mocha Mousse COTY 2025 Design Collection

All designs above are available in fabric, wallpaper, and home decor in my Spoonflower Shop.

Raspberry Creek Fabrics offers fabric and wallpaper.

How would you use Pantone's COTY, Mocha Mousse? Would you redecorate your living space? How about sewing a matching set of pajamas? Let me know in the comments below!

Peace, Love, and Creativity,

Happy Summer, Friends! What's New?

Hello Beautiful Friends!

Carlsbad Seawall, Carlsbad, California

HAPPY SUMMER!

It's been awhile since I have updated you on the happenings. Sorry about that! Life comes at you fast and in waves sometimes. I am sure you can relate. 

Since we last met, my #1 Grandbubble graduated from High School 😢 I'm not crying, you're crying...It's not that I cannot believe how fast time flies, but I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! So much good stuff ahead for her. 

I have squeezed in time to update my shops and stores and even to paint, just for fun! If you are with me on Instagram, you may have seen my #SketchbookGirls series. I am challenging myself to practice faces and figures, but with my usual expressive twist. I'd love to hear your comments on the ladies. Which one is your favorite?

These illustrations are actually really fun, using mixed media and trying new things. Summer, after all is a time for exploring!

Here are a few of the latest products and design offerings I have created since last we met:

I have uploaded a boatload of new Customizable Yearly Planners to the Collection in my Zazzle Shop!

Bad News, Good News, and the Card That Saved the Holidays!

Hello Beautiful Friends!

Yes, there is GOOD news and BAD news. I always like the bad news first, so here goes.

BAD NEWS: The deadline for shipping gifts from my online store (and most retailers) to make it in time for Christmas has passed. Even with expedited shipping, there are no guarantees for packages to arrive on time.

No Worries! If you procrastinated just a little too long, you are still in luck!

GOOD NEWS: E-Gift Cards are available on my website! Yes, that means it's not too late! AAAND, you can send a gift of art or artistic home decor magically via email to your Mom, Bestie, or even Teacher! Choose from several designs to match your recipient. 

Creative gifts are gifts made with love, (in this case by ME) often one-of-a-kind, and can brighten a mood as well as a home! 

E-Gift Cards are easy to purchase and are good toward any item on my website, sold directly through the site. Links that take you to one of my partner sites do not qualify. 

E-Gift Cards for J Lopez Art & Design are good for any item listed on the site:

Original Art

Fine Art Prints

Photography Prints

Home Decor

Pillows

Mugs

Masks

Ornaments

Papery Cards and Journals

I hope this Season of Giving finds you Healthy, Joyful, and in a Spirit of Peace.

Peace, Love, and Merry Christmas, 

Jodi

BIG NEWS!!

My Etsy Shop is CLOSING it's doors TOMORROW!!

If you want to peruse the goodies one last time, today is the day to do that. 

The GOOD news is that I am migrating most of the offerings to my website:

JLOPEZART.com

I have actually just added Original Art and so many new gifts and home decor items on the website. Check it out!

Start your Holiday shopping early, as most items ship from my printing partner on the east coast. It may take a week, sometimes longer, depending on the item. There are also lots of ONE-OF-A-KIND items, like these hand-painted ornaments. Once they're gone, well, you know. :)

If you missed out on an item on Etsy that you had your eye on, let me know and I will try to place it up on my website for you.

ALSO...

There is a fantastic fabric sale going on NOW in my Spoonflower Shop.

Yards and Meters are 30% OFF until October 30th!

Take advantage and stock up on all designs, even holiday and Christmas designs! Get started on those projects sooner than later. 

Well, that's the timely news for now. I will keep you posted as I place new art and home decor items on my website.

Have a beautiful week!

Peace, Love, and Creativity, 

Jodi
