Happy Spring!


I'm Baaack! Got through a cold Austin winter, seriously, I speak the truth. But weather is kooky all over the world now . . . . So now it is almost spring! I did some jeans this winter, and even grabbed my artist buddy to give me jean feedback! it was great!. So I'm gonna put up my horses, and my wolves, different versions of both. looks like only one wolf wants to some on board.

Buffalo Baby


When I first arrived in Texas, I met a lovely young woman who worked on a big Texas ranch. I was intrigued; the whole scenario played in my mind, and it all seemed so grand!
A few days later, she emailed this photo to me. The baby buffalo was just a few days old. I was mesmerized by him, cuddling his huge hairy mum.
All of a sudden I felt very spiritual, I know that sounds weird. But I now consider that baby buff to be my spiritual guide somehow. I always feel grounded when I look at the photo. My friend told me he's all grown up now, but seeing him as a baby still gives me heart. I've given this photo to many people, the ones who I think need it....and they are always happy to have him.

I hope my ranch friend knows what an impression she made, on all of us.

About Lillybo's Paintin

Nina's JPJ [JustPaintinJeans] Line is painted under the Lillybo label. The hardy metallic fabric paints appear almost 3 dimensional on the highly textured jean. This causes the design to take on a life of it's own.

I paint the client's own jeans, after we have decided on a design. These custom made "wearable art "pieces present a WOW look! The jean moves with the wearer's and seems to come to life!
Easy to care for - wash in cool water, inside out, on delicate, light dryer, may hang to dry. The jean stays fresh for many washes.
Tee's can be painted as well. Shoes and Bags are a fun challenge! I paint pets too! PAINT YOUR JEANS, CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
