Fabrics and Altered Book

 I ordered some new swatches of my designs from Spoonflower while the special offer was on. 

I don't know where my brain was on the day I ordered but I ordered the mice design twice [one should have been pigs] and also I ordered a fat quarter instead of a swatch. Doh!

Anyway here they are

Altered Pissarro Book

I did a few more pages in the art book of Pissarro

Watercolours, Sewing and Fabric Design

 Doodlewash Watercolour Challenge

Wooden Toy

Hands and Gloves - I'm not very good at drawing hands so I thought I would do a silly drawing instead.

Sewing

I made a baby dress and bib for my new granddaughter due next month, this should fit when she is about 3 months.

The fabric is purchased, not my design.

I also made a summer dress for my other granddaughter who will be two in May. 

I found this pattern on Pinterest.

Spoonflower

I've been working on a design for a Spoonflower contest, the theme is hand drawn florals. Use of earth tones and florals from native [backyard] botanicals are suggested. Also think of the end product as blouse fabric - this I forgot about plus the backyard bit so I'm not sure either of these will be suitable. Can you imagine either of these as blouse material?

Happy Paint Party Friday!

Fabric Swatches

I ordered a batch of fabric swatches from Spoonflower. They are about 8" square but I decided to reduce the size of some of the designs so they would fit multiple repeats on the swatch. I don't think it worked well with some of them so I've increased their size back.

Now I've bought swatches all these fabric designs are for sale on Spoonflower.

All these were printed on Petal Signature Cotton. They don't print as bright and vivid as on the velvet.

I used my sister's knitting book as a background for this one.

This is the original design for this pattern

And made into a repeating pattern

The colours look a bit different to my original design

 

Doodle to Fabric, Digital Doodles

A fabric created from a doodle on my tablet. I had a fat quarter printed at Spoonflower

but I am a bit disappointed as the colours are not as vibrant and the pattern is not as clear.
