    A little disappointed...

    A little disappointed...

    I joined the Global Talent Search as I told you a long time ago for the third time. And... I didn't make it to the second round. Of course I was a little disappointed at first! I would lie if I said I wasn't. But does it stop me from designing? Does it give me an artist block? Does it make me wanna stop? NO! OF COURSE NOT! I really really feel now again like in other years, that I BELONG here, I really AM an artist! I can stand on my own and do the things I just LOVE to do: d

    I LOVE designing! - GTS

    Sometimes I want to pinch myself in the arm because I so LOVE what I do. Despite all the hard work, the fact that a lot of people do not seem to know what digital scrapbooking is and what they can do with it, despite of all the efforts I do to also make money on other designing and illustrating markets,I feel so free, so thankful that I can make all of it, that I can draw and paint - which are the things I like best to do. If you know me longer than this blog message, you kno

    Calm before the storm

    ... that all of us Global Talent Search competitors will know if we are chosen for the next round or that we can work on our own again :). It's sooo nerve-wracking to have to wait to the outcome. For sure, it's a big decision for Lilla Rogers to pick the fifty from 1000 submissions, WOW, that must be even harder than making the entry itself if you ask me! But I still LOVE it, whether I will be chosen or not, I learned a lot! I learned about my style. I now feel that my quirk

    My submission for the GTS

    I was so happy with the assignment for the Global Talent Search this year! I didn't know that this was such a passion for me, but now that I did submit, here's what I made... And it felt so good, that I designed more than only this page with the required cup, saucer and paper napkin that I decided to make more. I have made 3 presentation pages now in total and I feel that there is more to design here! So these are my other two pages... I really loved making a teapot, sugar ca

    The Global Talent Search

    Since July the 29th I worked on the Global Talent Search. It's an amazing contest in which the best one will be represented for two years by the Lilla Rogers Studio. And more, because a lot of companies donate wonderful prices to the winner. It's the most wonderful carreer opportunity you could wish for as a designer. It would be a dream come true for me, but so this is for hundreds of other participants! Last year I also joined this famous contest in which people from famou

    Keep voting!

    So to convince that I need to be voted for, I show you some items the next days that makes sure your vote isn't wasted... Here is the presentation of the sides of the three boxes. I think, when you see what you can do with these besides using the prints for these metal tins, you might consider... I would love to see the prints in cotton too. What about great artsy blouses, like boyfriend shirts, conforting and great with some wonderful jeans? I would love to sketch in them wh

    VOTE!

    To go to the finals of the Global Talent Search we need to have enough votes. Only one designer can go to the finals with your vote. The other five finalists will be chosen by a professional jury. If you want to know who are in that jury, you can find the names here. Here is my submission.... Here are the separate tin lids: Of course I hope you will really vote for me, but please, follow your heart! Thank you! http://lillarogers.com/gts-2015-assignment-2-semi-final/ Berna #Gl

    Semi finalist

    I can finally find the time to blog a bit about this wonderful competition I'm involved in at the moment: Lilla Roger's Global Talent Search. So, now that I have submitted for the second round, I will show you with what piece I have been chosen for this second round... Among all the 50 wonderful designs I have seen I have been chosen with this design. We had to read about the demography of a fictive young lady that needed some new sneakers. In short: She was living in Brookly
