Acrylic Paint in my Hair

Spoonflower prints

Really happy with the results from Spoonflower.com. I had some of the patterns I have been working on printed so I can see the results before I start sending them out. Anything you upload is automatically kept private so no one can see anything on the site that I upload unless I want them to. Key feature for testing swatches that I don’t want to (or cannot) share yet. Using the fabric swatches, I was able to color correct what was needed and really perfect the scales of the individual patterns in my collections.

As a special treat for myself I also had a couple of my favorites printed on a yard and I made myself this yoga mat bag!
Then I went ahead and joined the Spoonflower community by uploading a collection to have available to purchase. I chose these cute little Retro Owls patterns and accompanying accent prints. There are 7 prints available and you can see them here.

After 7 months….

I’ve been a little in Design Mode lately as I’ve been working on a website for a friend and artist (Ms. Nikki). I’ve also done like 20 or so more patterns. Just so you don’t think I’m lying here is a peek at the beginnings of Leaf Peepers:

Happy New Year!

I am writing this from my big, comfy-cooshy bed… ahhh. I have a fresh cup of coffee on my night stand (Thank you for the Cuisinart Grind & Brew™ Santa!) and I’m enjoying Mushka’s company. Lots of places to go today and people to visit but I’m allowing myself this lazy morning because I was up late last night working on some digital patterns. I just couldn’t stop! I was struck with divine inspiration while holding the Lotus Position at Bikram and I wanted to start something new right away… I just didn’t realize I’d get so much done in one sitting! I haven’t really shown any of my new digital stuff yet but since I haven’t posted anything else in a while I guess I should show something.. got to love guilt. Ok, well here is the beginnings of a file from the collection I started last night.
I found a website where you can send in digital files and get small amounts of fabric custom printed at a very reasonable price. When I am done a few more files of this collection I may send away for a couple yards and make myself a yoga mat bag. Once I get the results I’ll share the link and let you know how the fabric came out. Uh-oh! Here comes the rain. I better drag my tush out of bed and up to NH to see my ma. Oh, but my legs are jelly! Damn you Warrior One!

A new sketch for a New Years and Holiday theme. Never a good reason to not paint bunnies, swirls and stars. So far this autumn has been suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder but it’s not hard to think about the coming holidays with the crisp nights and their deep, clear skies. The smell of fireplaces and wood stoves somehow make my stomach rumble and I dream of coffee and pie as I pass the farms on my way home at night.
