Is it possible to make household items and office supplies unique? The answer to this question can be found in the work of designer Jill Bliss. Creating her masterpieces, she uses ballpoint pens, pieces of fabric, scissors and ordinary thread. Jill pays special attention to details, because they create personality.
Jill is now 35 years old. She was born in Northern California, where she lived on a farm for a long time. Plants and animals were often her friends. It was then that she fell in love with nature.
Her works are always very bright. Many colors, she said, she discovered while traveling, and some brought from life in New York and San Francisco. Her favorite color is green.
Jill began selling her first works at school. True, then she sewed clothes. Then the artist began to create beautiful notebooks, wallets, pictures and upload them to the Internet, so she became popular not only among friends, but also abroad. Jill has her own "blissen" store, which she opened in 2001. There you can buy any of her works, from buttons to a suitcase. She now collaborates with many artists and designers.
Jill does not hide the fact that when too much work is piled on her, she takes on assistants. Wallets and suitcases are more popular. Jill admits that she has a lot of new ideas, but, unfortunately, there is not enough time to bring them all to life.
If she needs inspiration, she leaves the house, walks the streets, goes to nature or reads, oddly enough, books on economics and environmental protection.
She hopes that people will like her work and can inspire them to create their own works.

Personal Muses, or What a muse looks like. Conrad Roset's artful simplicity
One can argue to the point of hoarseness about how a muse looks like, almost endlessly.

A whole chapter of Muses is devoted to these muses in one of the sections of the author's portfolio, which is called varnish
