I promised monday motivation didn’t I? I can see that these posts may be subject to a hint of irony. Setting up my own business needs a lot of motivation. Right now, there doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day. So today’s motivation is brought to you by none other than INXS (in… Continue reading monday again
Setting my self up to sell and to work freelance is moving slowly, but I am still creating new things. Here is a short post sharing some of those things… Spoonflower have a new contest theme of Japanese Garden. Japanese design, culture, approach…everything, it’s so inspiring! I love kawaii style, so I worked on a design that… Continue reading some things…
Those of you unlucky enough to have been reading all my posts of late will have noticed things have gone a bit mermaid-colouring-in-book-centric. I thought I would share some of the background to the idea. As much as I love fairies, I also have some friends who LOVE mermaids so I thought I would indulge them… Continue reading how it began
My calavera design hasn’t fared well in the Spoonflower fabric design competition – not even in the top 100. There were some amazing designs entered (the winner is one of the designs I voted for, it absolutely deserves top place) but I still can’t help being a little heart broken. I’ve not entered many of the Spoonflower competitions… Continue reading Sew many dreams…
As promised, here are some photos of the dress I added a little sugar (skulls) to. I just used two 8″ swatch samples that I had printed by Spoonflower. One red small skull and one grey small skull heart patch, near to the pockets on the skirt. Then on the back I attached a small… Continue reading Turning Heads.
Oops. Third post in a row featuring sugar skulls! I just couldn’t resist though. Not long after I finished my sugar skull designs, Spoonflower announced one of their upcoming competition themes as Calaveras and, as I have a real love for the iconic imagery of sugar skulls, I decided to develop my fabric designs further.… Continue reading Zig and Zag.
Continuing my Society 6 journey I got a couple of tote bags printed for myself, and a friend also ordered some for some very special young ladies! The tote bags are very robust and I’m pleased with the quality. The print is a little ‘fuzzy’ but this is because of the canvas material, so is… Continue reading Taking flight.
In case you managed to miss the abundance of hearts everywhere yesterday, it was Valentine’s day! So I thought it an ideal time to share a photo of some of my fabric swatches from my Hearts collection. That’s a lot of hearts. I hope to work on some more multi-directional heart fabric designs – you… Continue reading Wrap me up in your love.
Oops. Well it’s been some time since my last inane blog chatter…I mean post. I have been busy, just not so good at the documenting side of things! One of the things keeping me busy was a 6 week trip last year, primarily in China. Since my return I’ve been working on various fabric designs… Continue reading Here is the new year.
I have nothing much to say today apart from to wish the world a Happy Friday 13th. For some reason, it’s one of my favourite days. I like it to be a good day – let’s challenge the superstitions! I’m patiently waiting on more swatch samples of my fabric designs to arrive from Spoonflower, although… Continue reading You have such pretty eyes.
