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!

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…
I woke up at 5:30 am and must have been dreaming in pink! Good morning, Project Girlie! I felt inspired to create a vintage looking piece of art from some cute stock photos that I had started working on.
Check back after a few cups pots of coffee for what I’ve whipped up at Kokabella for you to snag this morning…
12:40 pm: Okay, after a busy morning with Sophia, I managed to brew this one up. Needless to say, I was feeling very PINK!
Click on the image below to download a 4″ x 6″ copy that can be printed and used for personal use. I will be adding this to my store in various colors and styles as a high quality print.
P.S. Not that into pink, hmm? Watch tomorrow, I’ll cook up a less “girlie” version for you to download! Pssst, now would be a great time to subscribe to my updates feed!
A shot taken up close of a decorative table piece that I found on clearance at TJ Maxx recently. A perfect addition to my textures collection. Grab your camera and focus in on something around your home. Shoot! You will see it from a whole new perspective.

Here’s what I’ve come up with for future use as a texture layer in one of my designs…

I love abstract art and the possibilities are endless. I created a somewhat abstract, water colored version and will use it at some point to use it as a layer with other photos. Stay tuned!
If you must speak ill of another, do not speak it, write it in the sand near the water’s edge.

I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
Artsy ideas flashed in my mind the moment I saw this chalkboard sign in a coffee house!
