my new line of accessories and a giveaway!

Once upon a time I was attending a wedding and couldn't find a purse that I liked to go with my little black dress. So I grabbed one of my messy graffiti paintings, ripped it off the stretcher bars and sewed it into a clutch. Little did I know that this moment would COMPLETELY change the direction of my creative career! I suddenly discovered an entirely new process- painting canvas and fabric and remixing it into all kinds of accessories. I loved that a piece of art could be completely redefined!


I got so many inquiries about that first purse that I started making more to give to family and friends, then I opened an Etsy shop, began selling my handmade accessories at craft shows, to boutiques and museum stores, I created custom bags for all sorts of fabulous people (Warner Brothers staff, an Oprah executive producer, Maryam of My Marrakeshjust to name a few) and I even wrote a book about my process. After a while I couldn't keep up with the demand of making all those accessories and I decided to take a little break and focus on the teaching side of my business. A year or two passed and while I was still making accessories, I limited myself just to small specialty orders.


 Then something unexpected happened...Demdaco came calling. They had been watching me for a while and thought the accessories I created would be great for a line of licensed products. To be honest I had not even considered something like this but after hearing their concept I couldn't resist signing on with them! Insert 2.5 more years of development, creating art and some waiting for the right time I am happy to announce that my line of accessories- Heart to Art Remix is HERE!


There are scarves, purses, cuff bracelets and headbands all made from my original painted canvas and I couldn't be more pleased with the way that everything turned out! Its a little bit graffiti mixed with color and lots of texture- everything is a wearable piece of art! Soon, very soon I will have a variety of products for sale in my shop but in the meantime I wanted to give you a peek into everything!



In the coming weeks I will be dedicating my Fashion Friday posts to sharing a look into the products from my line AND I will also be giving away some fun stuff.

Today I am giving away two of these large expandable tote bags, each with a matching scarf!



To enter leave me a comment and tell me what fashion accessory you can't live without!
I will announce the two winners in a few days!


UPDATE!!!
the winners are-

Congratulations! You look amazing and your new line is so beautiful! You have been a true source of inspiration for me since I took your class at the first charity wings sea side soiree. Hooray for you! :)

Shannon P said...

I love infinity scarves! Congratulations on your new line-that is just so fantastic!

Christina said...

LOVE! :D While I dig a good purse or great pair of boots, I think that my most beloved accessory would have to be earrings. They're one of the best ways to put a smile on my face and turn my day from drab to fab. (Totally corny, yes, yes, I know.)

Suzanne Reynolds said...

Congrats, Alisa!! What beautiful accessories...they will be a huge hit! My fave are the totes and am partial to the "peace" design. Happy to say I have one of your original painted bags from a few years back and it's a treasure.

Reva Madryga said...

Oh man, you've been blessed with such a great opportunity! So cool to see your work in a new format! I love those huge totes!
A bag is something that I can't live without. It needs to hold my wallet, pens, sketchbook, chapstick and glasses.
Thanks for sharing with us in this great giveaway!

Lorraine said...

My purse. Never switch it out. Made it myself so its perfect for me.

Dawn D. Sokol said...

Congrats, Alisa! This is great! Thanks for the giveaway...I think the accessory I can't live without is a bag large enough to carry my journal or iPad!

mizdarlin said...

These are very pretty, and good to go for any colour you are wearing..
often thought that this fantasy would be wonderful (a copr wanting you to design for them) so am cheered by your success...

Lynda said...

I am so thinking Christmas - my youngest daughter loves infinity scarves and those pouches work for any girls age group. If I can start my shopping by winning - so much the better.

Babs said...

LOVE these. They are beautiful. There is no way I could live without a nice big tote! I have a nice conservative one that goes to work with me each day and lots of more interesting ones to carry yarn, embroidery supplies, art supplies, kid stuff . . . whatever is necessary to get through the day's events! Thanks for this fabulous giveaway. I hope I win!

Nolwenn said...

Congrats on this new adventure !

Hmm I can't live without my bracelets. They all have a meaning for me.
And my scarves, I love scarves but don't have much.

Thanks for the giveaway !

CrystalM1016 said...

Hello, I think your art is fabulous. Incredibly original and just awesome! If I am the lucky lady to win any of your accessories, I would be eternally great full. I am in LOVE with your scarfs and large bags. They're perfect for running errands or at the office, honestly I think I'd wear them everyday! Again you are very creative! Be Blessed!
Crystal

Sarita Pitones said...

Those scarves are adorable!!! It is AWESOME everything you have achieved since we last saw each other. :)

My favorite fashion accessory would be headbands. Especially when I'm having a horrible hair day - I use scarves, elastic bands, bandanas to cover the front of my hair which is a complete mess on most days :)

Amanda said...

I love scarves, fall is the perfect time to wear all kinds of fun scarves!

daydreamkate said...

Purses. Without a doubt, purses. Something fun with lots of personality and pockets.

Wendy said...

I'm a long-time admirer. I bought your book when it first came out. I felt I'd found a kindred spirit since your work favored bold writing, color, and sometimes a graffiti-ish element. I'd love to win one of your accessories. I tend to be a jewelry girl, typically earrings. Though, in winter, you can't even imagine how many scarves, hats, and gloves I can rock :)

Heidi said...

Well, first I want to say that you're one of the most inspirational artists I follow online! Your work and your encouragement to create are a constant blessing to me.

I always have to have cute purses and funky earrings! I love making my own jewelry - and purses out of old skirts and neckties.

To own something you designed would truly be a dream come true - your work is so inspiring! HUGS

Mia said...

It was so great to meet you in September at Liz's retreat, surrounded by your art was so inspirational.

I am a scarf girl, year round I am wearing one 90% of the time.

Congratulations on your new line, beautiful

NanW said...

You got me with totes and scarves.... love to use both. Your accessories are so colorful and fun. Congrats on the line.

Janice Faye said...

I love these accessories, they turned out amazing! I cannot live without purses/bags! I have many of them, but I love how they can all be so unique and completely make me upbeat for the day. This is a great giveaway, thank you so much for your generosity!

Unknown said...

The tote with the pink hearts is beyond charming. I could see myself rocking that tote at the next big music festival! Keep doing what you do - You're killin' it!

The Flying Squirrel said...

Amazing and Congrats!! What girl couldn't use another scarf and bag??

Mary said...

Alisa, I cannot tell you how excited I am for YOU! And all of us! I have loved your work for many years, and to have it available in these many wonderful products is wonderful. I love the all, but my one thing I must have is a bag/tote. Oh, but I must get one of your lovely scarves too...I see Christmas and birthday gifts ideas galore!!

Congratulations!!

Grace and peace,
Mary

Bonafyde said...

Your line looks awesome, they really translated your designs well. Love everything, especially the scarves. That being said I adore scarves so that's a go to accessory but right next to it is my love of purses... Especially cross body ones... At the moment. I enjoy being hands free. It's very freeing when you have kids to manage at the same time. I think it would be cool if you designed na baby bag in your style... Now that would be awesome! Also cool, a camera bag and artist on the go bag.... Oh my.... The possibilities! Anyways Congrats to you and your new endeavour, I wish you much success.

wkropka von BILDschön said...

these are perfect! congratulations!
the scarves are my must-have-things...
thanks for the opportunity!!

Gill said...

Scarves - I love them!!

One Creative Life said...

Since the weather is getting colder here I cant live without my scarves. With my three girls now wearing mine too I need more. These need to go on our shopping list. They are gorgeous! Congrats on the new line!

Audrey said...

My go to statement piece is either a fun scarf or a funky necklace or pair of earrings. My wardrobe is full of solid colors and jeans so I add color through scarves! I hope I win. I'm totally in love with the scarves you've shown us today!

Anonymous said...

These are so fabulous! I'm obsessed with scarves as the perfect accessory.

craftykaren said...

Can not live without the large "bag of life" that I tote around every day. It holds all the things that don't fit in a moderately sized cross body handbag. Congrats on such great looking bags and scarves!

Irena said...

Alisa...well done!!! Congratulations...how exciting for you. I love your scarves.

erin e flynn said...

Oh wow, those scarves are fantastic! Scarves are my favorite accessory--would love to add one of yours to my collection!

Paige said...

as my hair is growing out I find I can't go without some sort of hair tie to hold it back off my face. I love it long but I don't love it in my eyes!

crazyestonian said...

Such a riot of color! I love the boldness!

I always bring a shawl or a scarf with me. But really, I also always carry a bag big enough for a knitting project and notebook and I never take off my bracelets (other than in the airport :)

Malinda said...

WOW! they have done such an AMAZING job of turning your art into repeats for the textiles. Congratulations!!

I personally cannot live without scarves and bracelets. I carry a scarf with me even in summer - 'cause I get cold easily and you just never know. :)

Amy R said...

Congratulations on your new project! I've just begun wearing scarves. . . but I've always used a bag/purse - so I'd have to choose that category of accessory! But, I'm trying to incorporate more color - being more daring. . . Your scarves would certainly do that. Thanks for all your inspiration to create! And, to accessorize!

Unknown said...

Congratulations! Beautiful accessories. I can't live without some type of hairband to keep my crazy hair out of face.

wandamarie.blogspot.com said...

AI YI YI...;) you keep me on my toes to create, create, CREATE! and I thank you! ox

the Domina said...

These are so beautiful! Congratulations! I find a scarf to be my go-to accessory in these changing seasons. They are great for spiffing up a bad hair day too!

Kim said...

Wow!! I am so happy for you. You do wonderful work and you deserve all you get out of it. I love all the things you do, but the bags and scarves are the coolest.

Unknown said...

LOVE your accessories!! I cannot live without bags--tote bags, handbags, backpacks. I use some form of a bag everyday, not only for the purpose it serves but as a security blanket too :-)

Meghan Thimjon said...

How exciting for you and for all of us to see all your goodies in stores soon! Wow an accessory I can't love without, hmm would have to be rings! Love my rings! Want, need , have to have a scarf! Love!!!

Samantha said...

I would have said that I can't live without my rings, but I've suddenly developed an allergy to the metal and haven't been able to wear them for a few weeks while I let the skin heal. But I also can't live without a good bag. My husband thinks I have way too many. I don't think that's possible.

Rusty Bucket Designs said...

I ride a motorcycle and a rockin' scarf is a must have accessory - helps with major helmet hair! - plus while riding on a chilly day I can wear it around my neck and face!

annette said...

Congratulations,this sounds like a fantastic move for you! I am a scarf girl... and would love your colorful graffiti interpretation.

Kasey said...

So excited for you and I love love the scarves!!!!My go to accessories are boots and chunky bracelets! Even if I don't win I will definitely be buying these!

Victoria said...

Gorgeous! Congrats on your new venture!!
I can't live without scarfs and feel naked if I go out without earrings:)n

Tonya said...

These are amazing! My favorite accessory is definitely a handbag,

Jana said...

How cool is this! Congrats Alisa!! Thanks for this opportunity too. Love your beautiful designs! My go-to accessories are often scarves, but lately with my longer hair it's scarves made into head bands! by the way, LOVE your boots!!

Whitney Mae said...

Very excited about your line! Can't wait to see the rest! This time of year in Michigan, I can't live without big, tough boots and a good scarf. Absolute musts!

Unknown said...

Love your new line, congrats! I am not much of a fashionista, although I never miss Project Runway. I would say my favorite fashion accessory would have to be bracelets, I don't feel dressed until I have my bracelet on! Thanks for a chance to win some of your awesome products.

Laure Janus ~ Little Joys Studio said...

Congratulations, Alisa! Your art is so fabulous and this new line of scarves and bags will jump off the shelves. I can't live without a bag, whether purse or tote or just my wallet - and they have to be funky and unique. Thanks for offering this giveaway, and again, CONGRATS!

Unknown said...

Congratulations!! how cool, such a variety of products.
I can't live without my bracelets!!

Unknown said...

I can't live without scarves or sarongs. Not only can you wear them, but you can make them into bottle wraps, purses, and shopping bags!

Kara N said...

I adore these designs. Congratulations. My can't live without accessory is a large colorful bag.

Unknown said...

The black and blue SCARF!!! TDF!!

mergie said...

Congrats! I can't leave home without my bracelets. I feel empty if I'm not wearing any. Thank You.

Michelle P said...

Wow! Everything is gorgeous! I'm a scarf junky! Love love love your scarves too!

Shelly said...

Wow!! These are so gorgeous! My number one accessory, in all seasons, is a scarf. Small silk ones in the spring and summer and warm, cozy ones in fall and winter. All colours, all prints, but especially fond of florals. Good luck with your new project, Alisa!

Nanci Stone said...

Hi Alisa
What a great giveaway, thanks!
I do love scarves and totes but the best accessory to wear is a smile. Always works for me.

Anonymous said...

Scarves! They keep me warm and stylin'.

Sarah said...

I am so excited for you! Congratulations!!!

I would say earrings. Though I do love scarves, I always wear earrings.

Gina said...

I love everything! I have taken a few of your e-courses and love how you use color and layers etc. I would especially love to own one of the scarves. What fun! Thanks for the chance to win.

Unknown said...

I can't live without scarfs!!! Amazing!!! :-)

Anonymous said...

Wow! Congrats, Alisa!!
I miss the fall and the changing color of midwestern leaves this time of year now that I live overseas.. but the warm earth tones- golden browns-reds-yellows- keep the season alive (along with the pumpkin spice I bring with me from moms kitchen once a year!).

Unfortunately its too humid for my all time favorite boots in Mumbai... but i Love love love layers (thin fabrics are the best for this climate! ... Cheers!

Susan Jonsson said...

I really, really, really can't live without a scarf...seriously NEED to wear it!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful work....Congrats!

missvixen said...

First of all I have to say I love how long your hair is!! Also, I adore your collection. Can't wait to pass it on to my friends and family.

Carin Winkelman said...

Ooh, those scarves are just gorgeous and I so want one! But in real life it's always the bags that I can't live without. I keep seeing new ones everywhere and the search for a perfect bag is like the search for a perfect journal. You never find it, but it's a lot of fun adding to your collection. ;-)

Jayme said...

Oh I am so incredibly happy for you Alisa! I've been following you for a couple years now, taken some of your online classes, even had a random conversation with someone at Hobby Lobby while browsing art supplies about your online classes (she had also taken them!) This is so awesome!!

I can't wait to get my hands on your scarves and see what else you bring to the table. Congrats to you and this amazing new venture!

MarcyKate said...

Seriously, I am amazed every time I open your blog and see what wonderful new thing you have done! You inspire me!! I personally can't live without a number of rings I own - love the long, semiprecious stones and silver!

Scarves! Having recently moved to Maryland from Florida, I have found I really love scarves and they are at times a necessary item here. Yours are truly unique and beautiful art.

donna joy said...

How exciting for you! and for us since we can now wear your art! can't leave home with out earrings-even if i'm sloppy-feel naked w/out the earrings :)

SO excited - can't wait to own some of your fashion pieces! as for what i can't live without...i love wearing jewelry. i never leave without earrings or a bracelet (or two) on me. :)

Ami Sullivan said...

Sounds obvious, but earrings are my favorite accessory. Pulling hair back, putting on some lipstick, and some sparkling earings and BAM! You look put together! Love your new line.

Anonymous said...

Yippee skippy for you!! This is fabulous news! I cannot live without my scarves. I feel naked if I don't have one on me or near me. My scarves are like a good ol' security blanket, a fashion statement, and my friends all wrapped around my neck with love. I think I need an Alisa scarf to add to my growing collection of pretties ;)

Cheers,
Gwynnie B

Craftcherry said...

I started getting into scarves a couple years ago. It rarely gets cold enough for much of a jacket here, but a pretty scarf is perfect.

kathy n said...

hcolvin said...

Congratulations on your new line!! I love accessories, but rarely utilize them! I do love your scarves and bags though! Those are the two things I lean more towards actually using!!

Wow, you have come such a long way! I remember you from shows at Bates Nut Farm, and I still have the pieces I bought from you all those years ago! Congratulations on your current success. I love to see your creations and am happy for the direction you are going in. Your generous spirit and talent to staying true to yourself is paying off big time. I am an original bag lady and would love one of the totes you are giving away. Congratulations again!

Mrs. Day said...

Oh congratulations. What beautiful wearable masterpieces! I am an art teacher and can't live without throwing on some colorful scarve, usually on top of my all black outfit. I would be honored to wear, and show my students these beautiful pieces.

ingridp said...

Finally this happened and we can all enjoy your way of painting in our every days, if you can ship to Europe this time.

Dawn said...

You have a wonderful talent, I don't go anywhere without a bag or tote, I've been into scarves even when they weren't the hot thing to do.

Manuela Sattler said...

Hi Alisa, I can't live without a scarve. I love scarves in all colors and shapes. I already have a lot of them but just like some women who are addicted to shoes I am to scarves.

Hi, Alisa!
What a great idea, to turn your art into something to wear! I especially love the idea of the bag you took to the wedding and would love to see more of those.
My go-to accessory is definitely a scarf. I have a lot. I love them in the winter for keeping the back of my neck warm, and in the summer for adding colour and movement to an outfit. I totally love the way the colours and print mix up on your scarves!
So happy for you and your new line!

Carol said...

So awesome to hear about your new line with Demdaco. Best of luck to you!!! I am into headbands right now. I need a haircut and the best way to get my hair out of the way is a headband. I like the one you are modeling!

I CANNOT live without scarves! Such a great mix-and-match accessory and I think they just have the greatest ability to make an outfit. I'll for sure be purchasing some of these scarves when they come out!

Unknown said...

It is all lovely, but I guess if I had to choose, it would be a scarf! So, so pretty! Congratulations!

Mrs. C said...

Stephanie said...

Congratulations on your new line of accessories! I'm really happy for you! As for which is my fashion accessory I can't live without, I don't have one. In the last year, I've lost close to 90 lbs and have never enjoyed shopping at my former size so I never accessorized. Now that I'm much smaller, I'm just now looking at fashion because now I can wear things I couldn't before. I would love a chance to win any of your accessories because I'm at the point where I'm ready to be seen and your colorful artwork would be perfect.

Katie McD (ktmcd@yahoo.com) said...

What an amazing experience for you, and a generous offer for us! I can't live without a hair tie around my wrist... I love to wear my hair down, but sometimes it's just not happening, so it's nice to always have a back up. Thanks again! ktmcd@yahoo.com

Congratulations on the launch of your new accessory line I'm sure it will be a great success. I have two/three favourite fashion accessories, Scarves/snoods and pretty make-up bags.The more colourful the better.

Christine said...

Congratulations, they are stunning!
I feel naked without my earrings in, so that has to be the one accessory I can't live without, but for a real statement piece I always seem to go for a scarf

Dana said...

I think I would not go out without a bag and ... scarf! :-)
Thank you!

What a great next step for you. These are really awesome. For me the accessory would be the scarves. I love wearing them, and making them although mine are usually woven.

Anyway I'd love to win one of your creations.

Alisa I love your new line of accessories! The scarves are to die for. Can't wait till we actually can purchase them. The one accessory I can't live without has to be a purse. I'm really picky about purses. They have to not only LOOK great, but they have to be the right size and still be very functional for all the crap I cram in there every day! Thanks for this opportunity to win! Good luck with your new venture!

I love it all, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the large Peace bag and the lovely Peace scarf. My daughter's name is Irene, which means peace and we collect various and sundry accessories that incorporate the word or sign. Thanks for offering the giveaway.

Good for you Alisa! Hard work, consistency, and good ideas pay off.

something I can't live without? my tote bags! I have several, have tried just carrying a handbag/purse, but I usually end up putting it into a tote because stuff just keeps getting added.

Congratulations!

Marrianna said...

My favorite accessory that you are displaying are the scarves. A fun scarf adds so much drama to any outfit. Yours are wonderful. And, of course, who could live without the large totes. I am sorry I didn't take a class from you at Art Unraveled in Phoenix, AZ, where you taught students about painting those large canvases and making something fashionable out of them.

Scarves - I can't live without scarves! I use them to pick up a neutral outfit and since I'm always cold in the non-summer months, they also serve to keep my neck warm. I love these new designs and I'm excited to see what you produce in the future!

Anna said...
