There is a branch for every bird! :)
The other day I went to Ross and got this wonderful little jacket (first picture) for $12.99. I was walking through the alleys of the store where thousands of pieces of clothes were waiting for their perfect buyers, but non of them talked to me. I was ready to go when I heard something, like psshhshh... WHAT? (I said) Then I looked to my right side and there it was! I saw the little jacket looking straight at me like saying: YES, it's me, you found me!. And I said: ABSOLUTELY, I am taking you with me little jacket! I felt in love with the design, the color, the fabric and the attractive numeric combination of 12dot99 :o!. Once in my studio I saw this bird and brach and CLICK! I immediately got inspired to do something with the jacket! In the second photo you can see what I did. This was a very simple thing to do: I just drew the bird and branches on the fabric with a regular pencil and then I filled up the shapes with this textile paint using a brush. I then ironed the fabric from the back to fix the paint.
Yay!!! Now my little jacket and I are like best friends and we go out together looking happy!
Have a wonderful day and see you tomorrow!

Looks beautiful. I never would have imagined you hadn't bought it with the bird on it.

I really adore the elsita version of the sweet little swing jacket. I think you need to take another idea from yael and sell some iron ons of your designs so that us poor little bird lovers that are somewhat painting challenged can accessorize our plain clothing elsita style. Any special plans for tomorrow?????

It's a great little jacket, but it's so much more special with your designs on it.
That's the kind of style that can't be bought.
Although, I suppose you could sell iron ons or even the jacket itself, and then it would be buyable... but the GENIUS can not be bought. :)
