What affect has zazzle had on your life in 25 words or more
There are many professional directions an artist can travel, and Zazzle has provided one path I have always aimed for, one not easily accessible to artists before. Designing for useful, practical, daily use items and having my art around while working inspires greater designs. Fortunately, others enjoy the designs which makes greater designs possible.

Designing "Lady Sunbonnet Sue and the Unicorn Tapestry" is one I have thought about for a long time, since the mid 1980's. An opportunity came recently giving purpose to creating it, and it is a design I am intrigued with in its mood and flexibility. Inspired by the unicorn tapestries of the 15th-16th centuries (estimated 1484-1505), it is an inspired combination of "The Lady and the Unicorn" and "The Unicorn Tapestries" while bringing the artwork into a modern and kinder design with a focus on the positive elements in unicorn lore. Unicorns have always had a special place in my life, and creating "Lady Sunbonnet Sue and the Unicorn Tapestry" was both inevitable and magical.
