Welcome to Danisty Designs! It’s been a long time and I’ve been through a lot of things, all of which have made me stronger. The constant moves drained me of all creativity, but I’m settled now in North Carolina and my imagination is on fire!
There is still a lot of work to do to clean up this site and get the business end of things going again, but hopefully there will be a lot of activity soon. I have several patterns in various stages.
What, exactly, is Danisty?
Believe it or not, I haven’t really had an answer to that until this year…not a truly enlightened one anyway which, on the surface, would seem strange considering my strong feelings for it. In the literal sense, Danisty is a character I created for a roleplaying game about 20 years ago. She is a fictional child…an 8 year old girl composed of the magical, creative stuff of the universe stuck in a mundane, greyscale world ready to explode with impossibility. She’s an orphan mage that’s awakened much too young and she has no sense when it comes to the complicated world around her. Danisty is one of my favorite characters and I’ve continually used the name on forums and social media. There are a lot of people in the world that only know me by Danisty. After I designed my first pattern, I felt like I needed to brand myself and Danisty was the obvious choice, both because I’d been using it forever and because I like alliteration. So there is your boring answer which doesn’t do Danisty justice at all.
Months of therapy for depression and anxiety have revealed the real Danisty. She’s not just a child. She is my inner child. I created this character at a time when I was starting to recall traumatic memories from my childhood. I took those wild, creative, and optimistic parts of me and put them into Danisty and carried her alongside me for 20 years. She grew up this year and she’s a little surprised to find out she’s 42 years old! She is me again.
