Cityscape, already one of the favorites from our new tape patterns, was designed by Dinara Mirtalipova, a very talented illustrator and blogger from Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Dinara noticed that she did way too much doodling, painting, sketching and drawing, while she was studying computer science in Usbekistan.  She eventually moved to the US and turned her passion into a profession.

"I like illustrating my everyday life - my kitchen, my cat, beautiful flowers, cities that I've been to or places that I'd love to visit," she says, "Since I just had my little daughter, she became my biggest influence... She inspires me to design and draw for her, to find those old children's books I grew up with and re-read them. She makes me sing for her and remember those old songs my mom used to sing for me and I just can't wait to see what fun we're going to have when she gets older!"

Dinara had been wanting to create the Cityscape tape for a while. She likes the endless possibilities of decorative packing tape.

"You can decorate pretty much anything with a cute tape pattern - starting from pencil jars to picture frames, mirrors, recycled totes and even bedroom walls," she says, "I use this tape to decorate parcels for my Etsy shoppers - it is always more exciting when you receive in mail a package that is nicely wrapped and decorated," she adds.
