Doctor Mew?

ok, so this time I am going to show you something I fell upon that I find so very clever. I am a Doctor Who fan as anyone that knows me knows and, well I kind of like cats (yes an understatement) so I think this is the most perfect poster on Zazzle and I just had to order it. You can tell which Doctor is which and the artist did a wonderful job.

If I were a guy I would have gotten the tie too :)

Poinsettia and Holly Christmas Stocking Kit



Poinsettia and Holly Christmas Stocking Kit



It is that time of year when everyone busies themselves with crafts for the holidays cutting, sewing, gluing and don't for get the glitter. Recently Spoonflower had a contest and here is my entry. It is made to go on a full yard of fabric so there was enough room to make two stockings. One large and the other a bit smaller. There will also be one that is available on a fat quarter of material. Once the colors have been approved I can release it to be sold on Spoonflower and it shouldn't take too long. If you do happen to order one of these for yourself please send along a photo of the finished project. I would love to see it and of course share it!

If you really like my kit won't you please stop by and give it a vote?

Christmas Stocking Contest 

All you have to do when you get to Spoonflower is find my design and click it to turn it green, then go to the last page and save your vote! No registration is needed and you can vote as many times as you like until the end of the contest. Thanks again and Happy Crafting!

Poinsettia and Holly Cards

Funny how things happen really...

I was wandering around Spoonflower and had come upon a weekly contest that they hold. The contest (that is ready for voting any day now) is that of "Design a Christmas Stocking" one one yard of fabric. Sounded like fun so I thought I would give it a go.

I wasn't really sure what to do, at first I thought a faux quilt with some Christmas-y type colors might be nice but when I began it just wasn't going right. I started going about it all wrong and put down the mouse and picked up a pencil.

I have found that when I do not know what I want to draw or paint I begin to just draw giant loose circles. Now normally I would not do this on a really nice 24"x36" 100% cotton paper but I had a good feeling about it. Goodness knows I have been staring at that particular piece of paper for days, it has not told me what to do with it until the circles began. Out of the circles came a poinsettia. Keeping in mind this was for a Christmas stocking I imagined the flower sitting in the heel and although I am aware that holly does not grow on vines I took some artistic license to fill the rest of the space with my interpretation of them.

This is not the normal size I usually paint but today the paper finally spoke and I am quite happy with it. I plan on entering it into the Spoonflower contest and I will post it here when the voting begins but in the meantime I have put this design up on Zazzle. So thanks Spoonflower for the inspiration, it was kind of nice designing again.

Mushrooms Recipe Letterhead - TBA

Well it has been a while since I have been in my Zazzle stores because of my computer. I do a little bit here and there and I am happy to say I was welcomed back with a TBA!

A few weeks ago we had quite a bit of rain. Outside my office window was a gigantic mushroom growing in the grass. It wasn't anything special, just a giant blob of white fungus but it inspired me and I began to doodle mushrooms. It so happened that instead of tossing the doodles aside I transfered them into Illustrator and colored them with pretty colors. The final result is what you see above.

It is taking some time to complete the full range of products but they will be done I promise.

Pink Poodles On Parade

Pink Poodles On Parade

Pink Poodles On Parade fabric swatches

I was recently contacted by someone that had interest in my Pink Poodles On Parade design. She explained that she collects poodle fabric and would like to make a dress out of this design for her granddaughter.

I immediately sent away for a swatch on Spoonflower - in order to sell fabric on Spoonflower it must be approved by ordering a swatch. The reason for this is because printing on fabric is a whole different world away from printing on paper. You must learn about gamut colors and how they print (red not being an easy color to reproduce BTW)

Today I got those swatches and I could not be happier with them. If you happen to like poodles or pink they are now available to purchase in my Spoonflower store along with two matching fabrics, one of polka dots and one of stripes. There are a couple of other designs as well. If there is something on my main site or in any of my Zazzle stores that you would like to made into a fabric for purchase feel free to send me an email and I will see what I can do for you.
