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.

Wow, What A Week!

Well it has been quite a week for me on Zazzle and I have been blown away by the success of my relatively new store Pen And Ink. Zazzle has chosen it to be a featured store last week and has awarded me two Today's Best Awards and I am honored.

It is funny sometimes where inspiration comes from. All last week I have noticed people putting old retro photos of themselves on Facebook. It started me thinking a bit of my childhood and the summers my family and I would spend down the shore. Most of my childhood was spent in Wildwood, New Jersey at a place called The Siesta Motel. It is funny how some things can fly you back in time and for me it was the colors of this motel. It was a throwback from the fifties even if it was the early seventies at the time and it was all done up in black, white and baby pink. I remember it as if it were just a few moments ago and I remember it clearly. After time they remodeled the place and it was painted in the neutral colors of brown and cream, not nearly as special as it once was. Sadly the hotel has been knocked down to make condos but it will forever live in my memory.

One Last Design... Alright Three

Today I posted three new designs before I take the week off to refresh and relax. This will be a short and sweet introduction to them.

The first one is Pink Poodles On Parade a trio of fancy patterned poodles prancing around. I was feeling a little silly when I drew them.
