Kokabella Creations is the online design studio and personal blog of visual arts designer, Terry-Anne Heidenreich.
The original shot didn’t come out very well but the texture and ants/holes were too interesting not to do something with it. Click on the image to download the high rez version for your creations.
It’s always fun seeing what other designers come up with when using my stock so please show me at either my Flickr page or just post a link here. Thanks!

Beautiful words that I love to see and hear; “free for commercial use.” Here’s a few great websites for really great design elements.
Be sure to read the terms for use and leave a comment to say thanks to the designer for the sweet treats! :-) I’ve added their Twitter links too.

I am giving away this colored 4″x6″ printable version of Project Girlie. Click on it to download. If you missed yesterday’s version in hot, hot pink, go snag it!
Here are some other versions I’ve done also for my stock portfolio and available in my store.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I am feeling a tad bit generous so why not hold a contest and give some lucky winner an artistic creation from a photograph that they submit?!
The only hitch? It needs to be one that they shot, not a stock photo and they need to be a member of my Facebook page to enter because that’s where they’ll submit their photograph. I love having these little contests and I don’t post junk or spam people so it’s a win-win.
For more deadline and details, visit my Facebook page and retweet this if you wish!
Here’s some samples of what I’ve done with a few photographs…
Have you tried to new Sherwin-Williams ColorSnap for iPhone yet? It’s my favorite app at the moment. Useful to photographers, graphic designers and all-around color pros. Just snap a photo with your iPhone and it extracts the colors for you. Brilliant!
