Year of the horse

To celebrate the Chinese New Year, Spoonflower asked for designs styled like a traditional Chinese paper cutting, using red and white only.  It is the year of the horse so I incorporated this into my design. I also tried to keep it a continuous design to keep the style of a design cut from a piece of paper so no floating elements.  I took inspiration from design elements in traditional papercuts.  Please vote for it here

Bright Coral

New fabric design for this week Spoonflower contest.   I went for a simple layout with nice bright colours.  The theme was Great Barrier Reef in celebration of Australia Day on January 26th .  I had considered a dark green and gold yellow design but the reef is famous for the bright colours so seemed wrong not to acknowledge them.  I thought about adding turtles, fish and other marine organisms but felt that the coral should be the star of the show.  I also think that, as a simple design, it would work better as a dressmaking fabric too.  Please vote here if you love this design.

In other news this week I have used this design to open a society6 shop.  This means that this design can be bought in a range of ways from throw pillows to tote bags and phone/ipad skins.  My favorite though is the note cards as I love all things stationery.

Rabbit in a hat trick

Well, Happy New Year.  The spoonflower contest for this week is Magic Show.  I really liked the idea of the rabbit in the hat trick. I started sketching last week and this is much more complex than my usual design.   I hope you like it - have already got some ideas for companion designs.

 I have a feeling that these bunnies will be back again - Easter theme maybe?  Link for this design is here   Feel free to vote if you like it.
