I use a canvas drop cloth on floor of a tiny art/design studio to catch wood shavings from hand planing an oversized driftwood log.<br />
<br />
This log has been used for 4 different ocean themed projects.<br />

<br />
Hand carved California beach driftwood was used to create this ocean print.<br />
<br />
Motifs:<br />
<br />
Surfgrass that was used by Chumash Indians (who have lived in Santa Barbara, California for 1,000s of years) to make fishing nets<br />
<br />
The round flower with the circle in the middle is the Blue Fiesta flower grown in western USA.<br />
<br />
Blue Fin Tuna<br />
<br />
Fish hooks made from California coast sea shells <br />
<br />
Smaller flowers represent Canopus Star which is the 2nd brightest star in the night sky and brightest star in the southward sky. The Chumash Indians used this star to navigate southward night voyages in canoes.<br />
<br />
The Blue Pacific Ocean meets Japan and Western USA shores,connecting the countries with water.<br />

On my way outside with my lunch, I was walking through the indoor dining area of Santa Barbara Whole Foods last week when I spotted, on one of the tables, the Maui Jim Sunglasses pouch with the print that was designed in my then-Kailua, Oahu design studio.<br />
<br />
When Cathy and Lee Wright sat down with their own lunches, I had to introduce myself!<br />
<br />
Cathy Wright owns Commercial Solutions, a Santa Barbara business where she works in product promotional sales, "always working with logos and artwork and Maui Jim Sunglasses is a vendor."<br />

Found an oversized driftwood log on the beach to hand carve for a Quiksilver Aloha Shirt Print. The tree had been about 55 years old when it was cut down. While tumbling around in the ocean, branches broke off,leaving oval shaped holes that appear in the background texture of the print. The only alterations to the wood, before drawing the design with pencil,then carving, were planing and sanding by Kai Cherry of Cherry Construction in Santa Rosa, California.<br />

Nohea means "beautiful,lovely,pretty" in the Hawaiian language. The Nohea women's canvas shoe line is lined with fabric that was designed in my studio in collaboration with OluKai's creative team.<br />

This 8'x4' Chalkboard was created in my studio for Pam and Jacques Holten's Eureka, California retail store, <a href="http://venlochocolates.com/" target="_blank">Venlo Chocolates</a>. Honoring Jacques hometown,Venlo, Netherlands ,we used Dutch motifs ,hand painted in shades of chocolate brown with a red and green Dutch tulip motif.<br />
<br />
The entire board is painted in chalk board paint.The Dutch children,flower and Venlo Chocolates can be used as a chalk board with white chalk.<br />

Tonight as I was leaving Eureka Natural Foods with my groceries I stopped in my tracks after seeing Bob Cherry standing in the store wearing a Patagonia "Pataloha" shirt print designed in my Kailua,Oahu art studio under the direction of Dale Hope.<br />
<br />
Bob's Aloha Shirt was a gift that he has been wearing for about 12 years. <br />
<br />
Bob is a long time surfer from Miranda,California. His wife, Tory Schanzle, is a CEMT,Certified Equine Massage and Therapy, in McKinleyville, California.<br />
<br />
They divide their time between California and Tatos,Santos,BCS,Mexico.<br />
<br />
I celebrated meeting Bob and Tory, who love the ocean , horses and natural foods, by drinking a Cherry Chia Kombucha Tea which was purchased before meeting Bob Cherry!<br />
