As the illustrator of over 35 Children’s Picture Books, one of my greatest passions is creating art that inspires hope, love and the innocence of childhood. I have had a passion for illustration from the time I could hold a crayon. Having my own daughter in 1986 and reading her countless picture books helped me discover my calling – creating art for children, and for the child in all of us!

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="color: black;">Back to school time has always been one of my favorite times of year. There is an amazing energy in the air! Can you feel it?<br />
<br />
While I was raising my own daughter we would anticipate the school year
with both excitement and a nervous energy at the same time. There was
fun school clothes shopping and getting all of the needed supplies on
the list. I still adore the smell of a box brand new crayons and
sharpened pencils!<br />
<br />
There were also butterflies in our tummies at the thought of meeting new
teachers, seeing old friends from the previous year and meeting brand
new ones, too.<br />
<br />
For me, as a mom who worked at home, it was also a time of feeling a
burst of new creativity and energy on the cool autumn mornings. I
couldn't wait to dive into new projects when I had a full day with no
interruptions.<br />
<br />
I created this print remembering all of those wonderful teachers who
helped influence and mold my daughter and myself into what we are today.
It makes a lovely gift for those special teachers in our lives.<br />

<br />
Many celebrate this upcoming Memorial Day holiday in
the US by heading to the local pool or beach. Some go camping and enjoy
family time. But I also don't want to forget the reason for the Memorial
Day holiday. Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for
remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed
forces. I am so grateful to the men and women who serve our country and
sacrifice so much for our freedom.

<br />
<i> by Bradley K. Harris</i><br />
<br />
It started out as the British Invasion, spread across the Channel to
become the French Revolution, and has experienced epidemic growth in the
United States. Fortunately this does not refer to war, or the 60’s
musical style of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. We are talking
about coloring books here….coloring books for Adults. That’s right –
Adults.<br />
When Scottish artist Johanna Basford released her amazing coloring book for adults in 2011 <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Garden-Inky-Treasure-Coloring/dp/1780671067">“Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book”</a>
(Laurence King Publishing), who would have believed it would sell close
to six million copies worldwide and become a global best-seller? And
when French publisher Hachette Pratique released <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Art-th%C3%A9rapie-100-coloriages-Anti-Stress-Hachette/dp/2012307140">“Art-thérapie: 100 coloriages anti-stress”</a> in 2012, could they have envisioned their adult coloring book would sell more than three and a half million copies worldwide?<br />
With the help of Social Media, the Adult Coloring Book Craze has
leaped across the ocean and onto Amazon’s Best-Seller list here in the
United States. Fueling this phenomenon is the modern day adult’s need to
Relax, Renew and Revisit Childhood. Baby boomers and adults of all ages
find themselves today in the most fast-paced, constantly changing
environment in the history of civilization. Is it any wonder that
pharmaceutical companies and the medical profession in general have
focused so greatly on stress and anxiety related illnesses over the past
decade? And then comes along a stress reducer that is fun, low-cost and
a remarkable therapy for children of all ages.<br />
I once heard my 88 year old father, who still whips me on the tennis
court say that his secret to great health and longevity is in not
knowing how old he is. ‘I may grow older but I’ll never grow old’ has
been his mantra for the past 30 years. He lives his mantra and in
addition to solving cross-word puzzles, walking, tennis and
wood-working, dad spends a lot of time drawing and coloring. A child at
heart, a man that revisit’s childhood frequently and has remained
forever young. Coloring isn’t just for the young in age anymore, but for
those who seek to remain young in body, mind and spirit.<br />
<a href="http://phyllisharrisdesigns.com/pages/about-us">Phyllis Harris</a>
is the illustrator of over 35 children’s books and a lover of all
things childhood. Throughout life, her place of peace and solitude was a
return to childhood; a remembrance of simpler times. Joy filled days
spent relaxing in a field of dandelions, riding a horse through
sun-ripened fields of wild flowers and playing fetch with her best
four-legged friend. Capturing the heart of childhood became her
illustrative style in creating art for children’s books. Experiencing
changes in children’s publishing 4 years ago, like many other artists
and illustrators, Phyllis realized the need to reinvent herself and her
business. Phyllis began focusing on creating wall art for Children’s
Rooms and launched <a href="http://phyllisharrisdesigns.com/%20">Phyllis Harris Designs</a>
in 2012. With a passion for illustration, and her love of childhood,
Phyllis Harris Designs has experienced remarkable success. With her
illustrations adorning thousands of children’s rooms across 6
continents, customers began asking Phyllis in early 2015 if she would
consider publishing a collection of her illustrations into an adult
coloring book. And that is how ‘<a href="http://www.amazon.com/heART-childhood-coloring-featuring-timeless/dp/1522700439/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1451595886&sr=1-3&keywords=phyllis+harris+coloring+book">the heART of Childhood</a>’ was born. Now heading into its 3<sup>rd</sup> printing in 6 months, “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/heART-childhood-coloring-featuring-timeless/dp/1522700439/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1451595886&sr=1-3&keywords=phyllis+harris+coloring+book">the heART of Childhood: A coloring book featuring the timeless art of Phyllis Harris</a>”
has garnered international success and has exceeded any expectation the
artist had early on. This is just one Midwest U.S. artist’s story; and
the story of many successful artists and illustrators in the United
States and Europe.<br />
When and where will the adult coloring book craze end? The answer may
just be, never. Because the need to Relax, Renew and Revisit childhood
will never grow old. And like my father, millions of others have found
that it’s better to grow older, but never grow old.<br />

love how the handmade paper looks in the floating frame I got from
Hobby Lobby. There are 3 different prints to choose from thus far.

attending a Leonardo da Vinci exhibit, I was so inspired by the
beautiful sepia sketches on aged paper so I set out to find the perfect
"handmade" paper to print my raw sketches on. Every artist struggles
with working and refining a piece until it's almost overdone. I love the

<br />
I have added something new to the shop! I call it my </span><a href="http://phyllisharrisdesigns.com/collections/vintage-sketch-series" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: maroon;"><strong><em>vintage sketch series</em></strong></span></a><span style="color: black;">.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">After
attending a Leonardo da Vinci exhibit, I was so inspired by the
beautiful sepia sketches on aged paper so I set out to find the perfect
"handmade" paper to print my raw sketches on. Every artist struggles
with working and refining a piece until it's almost overdone. I love the
movement and feeling of sketch studies because they are raw and full of
emotion.<br />

And for gifting those creative and crafty friends with my </span></span><strong><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><a href="http://phyllisharrisdesigns.com/collections/books" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: green;">adult coloring books</span></a></span></strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">.
What better way to help get through the sometimes stressful holiday
preparations than sitting down with a coloring book to get that relaxing
therapy that is so needed at the end of a long day. In fact, I recently
read an </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/health/2015/07/30/health-benefits-coloring-books-attracting-adults-to-childhood-pastime.html" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: green;">article</span></a></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"> that stated, </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">"The health benefits go beyond relaxation, and include exercising fine motor skills and training the brain to focus.</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">Doctors
have known about these benefits since the early 1900s. Psychiatrist
Carl Jung, the founder of analytical psychology, prescribed coloring to
his patients to calm and center their minds. Doctors today continue to
follow Jung’s lead and still recommend the activity to combat anxiety.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">The
fact that coloring is structured activates the logic part of the brain,
and generates a creative mindset, said New York-based clinical
psychologist Dr. Ben Michaelis.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">“Because
it’s a centering activity, the amygdala, which is the part of the brain
that is involved with our fear response, actually gets a bit, a little
bit of a rest,” Michaelis said, “and it ultimately has a really calming
effect over time.”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><span style="color: black;">Dear Friends,</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">I
have lots of fun updates to share with you all! I've been very busy in
the studio to get lots of things ready for the upcoming </span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><strong><em>holiday</em></strong></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><strong><em> </em></strong></span></span><span style="color: green;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><strong><em>shopping </em></strong></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">that
is about to begin. Since you all are my lovely newsletter followers, I
wanted to let you all know about some of them first, right here and now
since one of them is very timely so be sure to read to the end of this
newsletter!<br />
<br />
Let's start with the </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><strong><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/252807771/animal-nativity-christmas-cards-box-of?ref=shop_home_active_1" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: green;">Christmas Cards</span></a><span style="color: green;"> </span></strong></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">I
have just added to my Etsy shop. This is a bit of an experiment as I
don't usually carry cards in my shops. I have a very limited number of </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/252807771/animal-nativity-christmas-cards-box-of?ref=shop_home_active_1" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: green;">Christmas cards(boxed sets)</span></a></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"> that I just listed this afternoon </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/252807771/animal-nativity-christmas-cards-box-of?ref=shop_home_active_1" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">here</span></a></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">.
If these sell out, I may try to reorder some more but I will have to
wait and see. At the time I wrote this newsletter, there are only 1o
boxes left since some of them were already spoken for so don't delay if
you want one as they may sell out quickly! I just got them from the
printer and they turned out beautiful! Very heavy card stock with
matching white envelopes. Here is a peek at those </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/252807771/animal-nativity-christmas-cards-box-of?ref=shop_home_active_1" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: green;">cards</span></a></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">.

<span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><span style="color: black;">Dear Friends,</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">Often
times, as a solo-entrepreneur I run out of ideas. What I mean is, as I
am trudging along going full speed ahead doing whatever is on the top of
my priority list, i.e.- getting my <a href="http://phyllisharrisdesigns.com/collections/top-sellers/products/coloring-book-for-adults-and-children-the-heart-of-childhood-by-phyllis-harris" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">new adult coloring books</a>
out to the public, and then I realize...what's next? As a small
business owner, my job is never done. That's not a complaint, but a
realization that I need to always be in the creative mode, at least a
LOT of the time. That's not necessarily a problem since I LOVE what I
do; create art! However, in putting my business woman cap on, I realize I
need to keep the momentum going so.... I have been working behind the
scenes on a BRAND NEW idea. A Brandy and Emma Coloring Book/Story Book, a
2 -in 1 book. 1, <span class="projectSummaryDescription" id="projectSummaryDescriptionContent">adults
can enjoy the act of coloring and 2, enjoy reading with your little
ones after the book is complete. It makes a wonderful keepsake for
everyone to enjoy for years to come! </span>Be watching for it's release any day.<br /> <br />
You may ask...who is Brandy and Emma?! Have any of you noticed I have
lots of art featuring golden retrievers and a small blonde headed girls?
Ever wonder why? Many of you on this list are already familiar with my <em><strong>Brandy and Emma</strong></em>
characters because of the stamping/crafting community. But for those of
you who don't know who Brandy and Emma are, let me explain.<br /> <br />
Here is the original Brandy, the golden retriever and Emma.(aka Em or
Emily, our daughter, the photo taken many years ago, as she is now a
mama herself.)<br /> <br /> <img align="none" height="559" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/9ed102c2fe15ac56e5ae47246/images/c920018b-c51a-4896-9956-115f5542918d.jpg" style="border: 0; display: inline; height: 559px; line-height: 100%; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-decoration: none; width: 500px;" width="500" /><br /> <br /> <img align="none" height="481" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/9ed102c2fe15ac56e5ae47246/images/282648ec-da96-47c6-8e8c-8ad064b70dd8.jpg" style="border: 0; display: inline; height: 481px; line-height: 100%; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-decoration: none; width: 500px;" width="500" /><br /> <br />
Brandy was our very first beloved golden retriever who has been gone
from our lives for many years now but never gone from our hearts. She
was the dearest creature and I often thought she was an angel sent by
God to our family.<br /> <br /> The character of Emma was based on our own
precious daughter, Emily as a small girl. I am thinking it is finally
time to create a book just for the two of them to go on their
adventures! What would you all think of a coloring book of <strong>The Adventures of Brandy and Emma</strong>?<br /> <br />
To get a vision of what I am speaking of...Here are few of my best
selling wall art prints that will be included in black and white sketch
form in the coloring book.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://phyllisharrisdesigns.com/collections/girls-wall-art/products/golden-retriever-and-little-girl-on-tricycle" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><img align="none" height="500" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/9ed102c2fe15ac56e5ae47246/images/2b7aa2e3-111f-4ac9-a19c-6ff2ffd145e8.jpg" style="border: 0; display: inline; height: 500px; line-height: 100%; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-decoration: none; width: 500px;" width="500" /></a><a href="http://phyllisharrisdesigns.com/collections/girls-wall-art/products/copy-of-first-love-illustration-little-girl-and-golden-retriever-beloved-pet-art" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><img align="none" height="500" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/9ed102c2fe15ac56e5ae47246/images/2899c3e0-7e02-4525-ac36-618b73e25eeb.jpg" style="border: 0; display: inline; height: 500px; line-height: 100%; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-decoration: none; width: 500px;" width="500" /></a><br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://phyllisharrisdesigns.com/collections/girls-wall-art/products/breakfast-with-my-best-friend-childrens-room-decor-customizable-hair-color" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><img align="none" height="647" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/9ed102c2fe15ac56e5ae47246/images/bb1dc58c-a0f9-4e5f-8554-6c9bcdd58a0c.jpg" style="border: 0; display: inline; height: 647px; line-height: 100%; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-decoration: none; width: 500px;" width="500" /></a><br /> </span></span><br /> <span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">There are still lots of my first coloring book, <strong>the heART of childhood</strong>,

coloring book printing, I came across an even better product through a
different supplier. I am even more thrilled to announce the second
edition of my coloring book!<br /><br />They’re here!!!! My second edition of my adult coloring books, <em><strong>the heART of childhood</strong></em>
just arrived!! I still cannot believe my first edition of books sold
out in a little over a month! Truly it has been such a blessing and so
unexpected. A HUGE thank you to ALL of you who have helped make that
possible.<br /><br />Ok, why a second edition? Because I listened to my customers and now the NEW features are:<br /><br />1.
Printing on one side of the paper only. Now you may color using markers
or gel pens, as well as colored pencils and crayons if you choose; and
they won't bleed through to the image on the opposite side. It also
makes it fun if you want to take the completed piece out of the book and
frame it when you are done with your marvelous creations. And now the
book is twice as thick, too!<br /><br />2. It is now “perfect bound” instead
of saddle stitched.(aka stapled) There is a peek of what I am talking
about in the photo so you can visualize the difference. <br /><br />3. Most of the art stayed the same in the NEW 2nd edition of<em><strong> the</strong></em> <em><strong>heART of childhood</strong></em> however, I did add 4 new images, and one illustration that has never been seen before!<br /><br />With
all of these improvements, my cost did increase a bit but I feel it is
well worth the little bit extra. But the good news is I am still
offering FREE U.S. SHIPPING by using the special code: <span style="color: red;">USShipFree</span> So go check <em><strong>heART of childhood: An adult coloring book</strong></em> out <a href="http://phyllisharrisdesigns.com/collections/top-sellers/products/coloring-book-for-adults-and-children-the-heart-of-childhood-by-phyllis-harris">here</a>!<br /><br />

<span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><span style="color: black;">Dear Friends,</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">I
cannot believe it has been 3 years as of mid-May since I started
Phyllis Harris Designs and started selling my art prints online. As many
of you know, I started on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PhyllisHarrisDesigns" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Etsy</a> like so many and then branched out to open my own space at <a href="http://phyllisharrisdesigns.com/" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Phyllis Harris Designs</a> a bit later. It has been so amazing! I have learned so much and continue to as I morph and grow my business.<br />
<br />
As a solo-entrepreneur (except for the help of my wonderful hubby, of
course) it takes lots of energy and faith to make a leap into new areas
in business and as many of you know, I have been playing with some new
ideas for new products in the shop. It always takes more time than I
want to take to try and figure all of this out but as with anything in
life it is all a process that never ends and so is my creative path.<br />
<br />
Recently, while looking for other opportunities to put my art on products, I discovered a new place to experiment with called <a href="http://society6.com/phyllisharrisdesigns" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Society6</a>.
It is a place where us creatives can put our art/photos on products and
they will create and ship them for us. It has been lots of fun seeing
my art on pillows and shower curtains, cell phone cases, tote bags and
the list goes on. And <b>until June 7th at midnight Pacific Time
they are offering FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING on many of the items EXCEPT on
framed art prints, clocks, canvases and rugs. </b>I am assuming those cost much more to ship. <i>For
example to order a pillow or a tote bag you can save $10 on shipping in
the US and even more when shipping worldwide so this is a wonderful
opportunity that I am even taking advantage of myself!</i> It will automatically give you free shipping at checkout if the products are eligible.<br />
<br />
Here are just a few examples I created. Just click on the photos to see all of the different design options of each.<br />

What's the difference?<span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><span style="color: black;">Dear Friends,</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">My
specialty is personalizing or customizing my art to fit my customers
needs but I often get requests for an original commissioned piece of art
as well. So what's the difference between customizing and
commissioning? Great question!<br />
<br />
Most of my art is customizable! My customizations include changing the
hair color, and some of the color of the clothing but only to the
existing art. I don't usually change the drawing itself, only the colors
if needed, unless I have had an email conversation and the customer and
we agree on an extra fee. I can also add or change existing text if
there is any, add a name or favorite verse or saying for no extra
charge. For my typical customization just enter the specific
customization instructions in the “Notes to seller” text box at
checkout.<br />
<br />
However, I do sometimes get a request for an original piece of art from
scratch and that is what I call a "commissioned" piece. That can be
anything from using an existing background of another already existing
art print and adding all new characters(which was the case of the piece I
just finished below for a client) or even just adding a different
dog/animal or another child to a print. In those cases there is an email
discussion and an agreed fee amount and then I create a custom listing
for that customer. Those can range from $50-$400 depending on the
difficulty of the art.<br />
<br />
<img align="none" height="400" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/9ed102c2fe15ac56e5ae47246/images/4c0bd13b-4741-4aed-adcb-7318bd4e7ba8.jpg" style="border: 0; display: inline; height: 400px; line-height: 100%; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-decoration: none; width: 400px;" width="400" /><br />
<br />
No matter which way I create, I am so honored and blessed to be able to do what I love so thank you all for that!!<br />
<br />
As my business grows it will most likely morph and change and I so
appreciate you all being along for this adventure and journey along the
way.<br />
<br />
As always, thank you for being a part of our wonderful community. We are so grateful for each and every one of you!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">As
many of you know...I took the month of February off to recharge my
creative batteries and to take my first vacation in about 3 years since
starting my business, </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><a href="http://phyllisharrisdesigns.com/" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: darkgreen;">Phyllis Harris Designs</span></a></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">.<br />
<br />
Well, I'm back!! Refreshed and renewed and ready to get back to being creative and to doing what I love! </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><a href="http://phyllisharrisdesigns.com/" style="color: olive; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: green;">Phyllis Harris Designs</span></a></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"> is now back open and running full speed!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">Just
to share a bit with you all...I spent the entire month of February on
the small northern most Hawaiian island, Kauai. The north shore of Kauai
is one of my very favorite spots that I have ever had the privilege of
visiting on this earth. We were blessed with perfect weather the entire
time and that was extra special considering the terrible winter most
states in the US encountered this winter!<br />
<br />
Here are just a few photos I took that I had to share with you from our amazing time in Kauai, HI.</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">I didn't work at all while I was there but I had to take my sketchbook along so here is a peek of just one entry. :)<br />

Spring-like weather has been keeping me smiling this past week. I hope
you are enjoying some warmer temps as well wherever you may be.<br />
