Everything around here starts with an idea
that needs to be put to
a virtual piece of paper.
Everyone wants to see what it looks like
BEFORE it's even made.
So we make a computer mock up page of ideas
that can be changed and tweaked in fun ways
to fit someone's vision of
perfection and fit their party event.
Here's some examples of a starting point.
Take an ice cream theme for example.
One of the things I've used frequently are DRIPS.
I love them.
I search for them and save them.
I compare them.
I love multiple layers of drips
in different colors.
Ice cream often means soft pastels but sometimes
things go in a different direction in life.
Sometimes that direction colors your teeth
with bold colors with each lick.
Funny looking in my opinion but most likely
a Superman ice cream cone is
beyond delicious to the receiver.
I think I outgrew that at around 5 years old and
now my favorite is chocolate mint.
But I digress. Back to drips.
That's why we're here.
When I found Creative Fabrica online
one of the first things I searched for was drips
and I was instantly rewarded with 30
drips of frosting and ice cream.
Here's a delicious looking one
I found on their site.
Ice cream often does require sprinkles.
Then there are paint drips.
Not edible for sure but delicious to look at for
an entirely different theme like art.
So I collect them.
Categorize them.
Label them: ice cream, frosting, water and paint.
I need to be able to find them quickly
when I'm working
on a project design mockup.
Time is of the essence because
someone is waiting to see what
I come up with and I can't just stay
in the shower (where I get
my best ideas) thinking about it.
I need to get on it fast and creatively
so I can keep the price for
the finished design in a budget friendly zone.
That can be a deciding factor on
whether someone orders something or not.
No one cares about my time factor at
this point. It's all about finding something that
fits and sparkles and
looks unique and personalized.
I'm constantly in need of inspiration that I often
get from my own brain but definitely from sites like
Creative Fabrica where the creativity of others
fuels my brain and makes it run like a faucet
instead of in little drips.
