Painting the Town with Google apps

The Wet Brush is on the move painting the town with Google apps.

For some time I've been wanting an app that did it all. An app that went to my professional artist site. An app that went to my blog. An app that went to my facebook page. Over the past few days I've visited many app developing sites offering free app construction. A majority of them missed the mark.

I was not aiming at getting into the nuts and bolts of app developing. That is not where I wanted to focus my concentration. It seems that for everything I wanted my app to do-it became necessary to put on my "geek" hat. It was challenging, fun and exciting all at the same time. I guess that fits the category of "artist".

It boils down to: what do you want your app to do for you?

For me, seeing that I am at many sites on the web by means of promoting my work, I needed an app that would point in all directions at the touch of a button. Now that I've upgraded my phone to an android (that took me 5 years), I can do many, many, many more things with it. Ultimately, I want to catch the sale right then and there-on the spot. Now I can by using the phone as my marketing tool.

I went with App Yet for my app development. Their dashboard is a bit more extensive than Como, Appsgeyser or Mobincube. They require you to have a google gmail account. The app developed through App Yet never expires and it is free to develop and place on your own phone. If  you are wanting to reach a more expansive audience you will have to submit it to the Google Play Store for others to download your app. There is a fee to submit it to Google Play.

Once you see your app up and running in the Google Play Store-it's an awesome experience. Shout it! Scream it! Get the word out. You'll be glad you did.

Happy Trails

Baby Smurf Crochet Free Pattern

  Good Morning Everyone, I wanted to create something fun. Exploring my childhood days I guess. A week ago I had created a larger version of this Baby Smurf (Benji and Barney Bigfoot) shown below.

The Flora Project

Flora the Book Promotion  Good morning everyone and Happy Spring! I've recently accepted a commission to create a doll to  represent the character of the book "Flora". I've been tasked with making 25 dolls to go with the book. Flora doll While making these dolls I thought I would share with you some design tips in crochet with what I've learned while making these dolls. Unfortunately I can't share the pattern itself but I can share some do's and don't(s) which may make your design projects go a bit more smoothly. For instance: Tip #1 (which I may have come to learn a bit late in the game) for a smoother finish look around the edges of sleeves and dresses use a slip stitch around the final row of the piece. The sleeve on the right is the sleeve with the slip stitch. The one on the left is not and it leaves a definite mark at the end of the row.  Let me know your thoughts about it or if you have any other suggestions to benefit all you lovely crochet-ers...
