I Dream of Japanese Koi in a Modern Abstract Design Style

I have always loved Koi. Perhaps its part of my heritage being part Japanese, but I just love the way they look as they represent so much of my childhood growing up in Hawaii where koi ponds are quite abundant. I also love how they symbolize strength in the Japanese culture. So, last night I was thinking of a new design to come up with for the holidays and I caught a glimpse of this Koi hanging mobile that my friend sent to me from Japan. Eureka! I just thought of a new design!


So, I instantly started designing my koi in my modern abstract design style. I have seen many koi paintings and illustrations throughout my life, but I wanted something different. Something that was never designed before. Once I get a design in mind it usually doesn't take me that long to execute it. Before I knew it I was done and started designing the layout of the holiday card it will be featured on.

I must say I am very pleased with the way it turned out. A few modifications came about, but at the end, i think I have a couple of koi that obviously look like koi, but have that abstract look to them. If you someone were to ask me why I like abstract, I wouldn't be able to tell them, but one thing I know, I don't like to design things that look realistic.

I think this new design will catch on, but I love how they look and I will most definitely order a print for myself to hang somewhere in my house!

My Hawaiian Themed Card Collection

When I first started my little card design business I used many of my current images from my Jennifer G Designs business for the designs. But, when I decided to design the invitation for my baby's first birthday I knew I wanted a Hawaiian themed card because of my island heritage and having been born and raised in Hawaii. With that came my Modern Hibiscus design which I carried through to a birthday invitation and birth announcements. But, customers have been requesting the design be used for other events such as graduations.

I also offer other "Hawaiian" themed cards such as my Modern Plumerias and Happy Honu. Of course, my style is modern so if you want something super authentic looking you have come to the wrong place. But, if modern is your thing, then I think I have what you're looking for!

My Newest Card Design - Modern Hawaiian Hibiscus Announcement or Shower Invitation

I was feeling a bit homesick and decided to create a series of Hawaiian themed cards. My first, Modern Hawaiian Hibiscus. The current design on my Etsy site is for a Birth Announcement, but can me modified for a baby shower invitation or anything else. The card can also be modified for color or simply choice my color options. Shown here is the red Hibiscus on light green background.

I truly miss Hawaii when I see hibiscus here in Austin. So, pretty, elegant and colorful!

Eternal Swans Save the Date Announcement

Here's my newest design!

Nothing says "together forever" than two swans on this lavender Save the Date Announcement. This design was inspired when my sons and I went to the park to feed the ducks when two gorgeous swans were there as well. I was mesmerized by their beauty and dedication to each other.

The colors can easily be changed to match your color theme. Wedding invitations and RSVP cards can be made to coordinate. Visit www.hapagirldesigns.etsy.com for more info and to purchase.
