Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
I am a full-time independent artist in Atlanta, GA. (Surface pattern designer, painter, and illustrator.) I make and sell products featuring my artwork online (links below) and in shops around the country. I also license my patterns to companies for their products. I'm addicted to color and want to cover the world in my patterns!
how fun, to watch the process! Can't wait for my boots! I will literally be traveling the world, Jessica! (just got a new international FA job!), so I'll be packing these beauties and showing them off!!! LOL So excited for you!
Wow these look great (of course made even better by the super cute babe wearing them in the pics =)). Can't wait to get them!! Cameron just got firetruck rainboots last week, but I'm pretty sure he'll be jealous once he sees how cool these are!
They look great and I can't wait to wear mine!!! When my boots get here, maybe the rain will too! xoxo from Texas!
These look great Jessica! Love the new photos! Thanks for sharing :)
The photos of the samples look amazing!!! Fantastic job!
Jessica, this is soooo exciting. I'm just bummed that I couldn't afford to donate more so that I could HAVE these GORGEOUS boots!! Anyway, you deserve all of this success. You EARNED it with your hard work. You are truly an inspiration! XXOO, Jujubeader:)
Super Jessica! So excited for you! Yay!!!!!!!
I just got my print! It is beautiful! It looked good on the site, but even better and more colorful in person. Thanks for the sweet note, too. :-)
Thank you!!
Albion: yes, I'd go with a 7! I think that'll be safest. :) Hope that helps!
I'm really worried about ordering the wrong size. My shoes are currently 6.5 and my feet are a little wide. Should I go with a size 7 since sizes are in whole numbers?
Perfect! :) I hope she'll love them, Skaja. And I'll get your prints sent out asap!! Thank you again so much!
My second choice is #5. And I'm giving the boots to my best friend for her birthday. :)
You can just tell me right here, and I'll add it in with the one you choose in the survey. Will that work? :)
Jessica, that's a fantasic idea. Also, very generous of you to offer me an extra print. How should I go about letting you know my choice for the second print?
Oh dear, Skaja, sorry about that! I wish I could do every size under the sun. Would you be interested in giving the boots to someone as a gift? I'd be happy to send you an extra print, too, to make up for it!
Love it, Eva!
Sadly, I was blessed with a shoe size larger than what's available (13W), so I'm open to suggestions as to alternate uses for the boots.
Thank you so much ma'am! :D ',',',',,','''',,,,''',,, (those are raindrops and puddles getting ready for the boots!) lol
Hi Eva, Yes! They are true to your normal size, as far as my own feet can tell. I hope that helps!!
HELP!!!! Do the rainboots run true to your normal size? I need to respond, thank you!! And still soooo excited! Congrats!
Deb: depending on the timing, I might do that, but once they're created and delivered, I'll want to get them out into the world as soon as possible! Especially because it'll likely be before the holidays, so I imagine people might like to buy them as gifts. Thanks for the suggestion, though! I'm excited to have people walking around advertising the boots. :)
Go girl! It all looks wonderful - so excited for you!!
I was just thinking that I would really like a chance to buy a pair of the boots and hope that you would offer then to backers first. Just think, your backers will be advertising your product all over the country!
I think asking is most kind!!! I am just going to have a hard time deciding!!! Selfish request actually :) Congrats!!! So excited to have had the opportunity to be a part of this!
Eva: I'm not sure yet.... I'd like to make them for sale, but I think I'll maybe ask all of you backers first, since I made them exclusively for the project. I imagine most people wouldn't mind, right? :)
Just curious....will the prints ever be available for sale?
Big hugs and congratulations on your amazing success Jessica - it is wonderful, wonderful and you deserve it :) You are one of the kindest most generous, friendly artists I know! Really! xo
Congratulations Jessica - I love your project (and I love the Orange and white pattern with the brown trim on the top badge - awesome!).
Can't wait to see them on the streets!
For the outside, like the last 3 options best (blue/green paisley, purple/blue/green mod flowers, grey/yellow gingko inspired (I'm guessing). All great!
I'm a huge green and blue fan so I love those two inside options. But the grey field with yellow flecks is great, too - punchy and practical at the same time. MIght work better with a larger range of outside options. Keep up the good work!
Hi Jessica, congratulations! I love the orangey one with the blue background and the green background/pink sole ones best. best wishes, Grace
YOU INSPIRE ME! LONG LIVE COLOR ENTHUSIASTS! (:
Hi Jessica!
Congrats on being funded! I LOVE the yellow and the orange colors! Bright and happy :) I think a pink and green combo would rock as well!
Hi Jessica. You wanted to know which boots are out favorite. My favorite is the orange sole/ blue background, with orange flowers. Congratulations on making your goal. Your designs are all beautiful.
Congratulations! I'm so excited for you. Proof positive that daring to dream is always worth it. You are an inspiration!
Hi Jessica. Congrats on passing your initial funding goal!
You asked about the inside boot color: I love the blue! Blue is the color of the sky and for me a happy and alive color. I can't wait to buy a pair of your boots!
Congratulations. How awesome!
I contributed a whole 2 dollars, but I'm starting my own business, don't need start up money, because I don't need to make major prototypes, but this idea is genius and I wanted to be a part of this dream. I will buy a pair and stomp in the rain when I take the kids to the bus stop!!! Get them to market and I'll hopefully have the money to buy them. Although I expect the donation for them is a fantastic deal.
Congratulations for making your goal! Can't wait to see (and wear!) the boots on people's feet :)
WOOT!!!! Made the goal! That is so awesome!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!! Congratulations! I can't wait to get my boots...woohoo!
Thank you all!!! I'm still in a bit of shock-- I can't believe it's fully funded already! Thank you SO MUCH for helping me make this a reality-- I can't wait to send all of you the boots!!! xoxo
Yay! Congratulations in reaching your goal. I can't wait to see the boots! :-D
OMGoodness! I check several times daily to see if "we've" reached "our" goal! I am so pumped for you! And, I can't wait to be sporting your boots on the street. Heck, I'm even planning on wearing them in my classroom! Congratulations, Jess! I am so proud to be associated with a group of people who know a good thing when we see it! Let it RAIN! :)
Woot! Woot!! You did it!
Best to you, Jessica and many blessings! Your patterns make me smile.... I think they'll make everyone smile! Yes, yes, yes, we need color and joy and hope and love and I think you are making a wonderful contribution with your talents!!! Looking forward to watching your Kickstarter site and seeing the day you hit the goal! Woo Hoo!
GO on!!!! I belive in you.
You are so awesome Jess!
