#CreateWithCatCoq - Mushrooms!
 
You probably guessed it, but this week’s #CreateWithCatCoq prompt is to draw mushrooms! Follow along with me in Blooms & Shrooms to create your own floral mushroom illustration, and don’t forget to share your work on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq and in the Skillshare Project Gallery

Exciting News:
My Golden Hour Collection with Contrado officially launches today! Contrado is a high-end, fashion-forward brand with an emphasize on sustainability and eco-friendliness.
 
My designs for the “Golden Hour” collection are all intended to evoke an appreciation for a retro-inspired aesthetic mixed in with modern touches. We tend to see trends reemerge over the decades and one of my favorite examples of this is the resurgence of 1960s fashion.
