Drawings of Moai and Reindeer

I went away to Lisbon and Sintra in Portugal for a few days over the New Year. I was going to post a few photos but I accidentally deleted all 450+ them [don't ask]. They are still on my phone so I'll upload them again.
The above is a drawing of the moai or statues of Easter Island.
Below are drawings of deer copied from the book '20 Ways to Draw a Cat and 44 other awesome animals' by Julia Kuo.
I think I've drawn most of the deer before, perhaps I should find the old sketchbook out to see if I've improved my drawing skills or got worse?

DF Fabric Collection


Once again I have used a limited colour palette although this time there are more colours to work with. These are photos of the actual fabric swatches which are about 8" square. I named the collection DF after the first design I did using this palette, doodle flower.









See the collection at Spoonflower, there are another two fabrics in this collection too.

October Fabric Collection


I designed some new collections of fabrics with friends in mind and gave the swatches to them as gifts as they love sewing. These are photos of the actual fabric swatches which are about 8" square. This set is called October, I used a limited colour palette of 5 colours.
