One of the first pair of tights I hand painted was for myself & had lizards on them. I'd always get compliments when I wore them, & several years later when I started my label, I continued with the lizard theme & introduced other animals into my collections.
These flocked Lizards on woolly tights are very similar to the first pair I did for myself & are currently available at urban cow studio in Adelaide, South Australia.

The logo for my label is a poodle, & people may have noticed I'm a little poodle crazy. I've done various poodle designs but the most recent one I did is very sparkly, elaborate & made up of lots of little dots, a painting method I've used quite a bit on different things, it's time consuming but I think the final look is worth it. What do you think?

People love all sorts of animals, I've done several different horse designs, pictured below are the Sparkle Star Pony on 50 denier leggings.

I've done custom orders of spiders, I've done a Monarch butterfly design, the Louis Louis design which is a little woodland scene with rabbits & squirrels & flowers plus others, too many to go into here.
Recently I've been inspired by our native flowers & plants such as Wattle & Sturt Desert Pea & the pretty but simple varieties of Daisies in Spring.
Below is the Louis Louis design on 70 denier tights. It's a design I love & will always do. I've also done it on leggings, dresses & tops.
