Next Time, On Top Fabric Design...

I placed lucky number 13 in the camo contest (with 250 votes!) I'm trying to keep in mind that this is a great exercise for me, and winning doesn't matter at all...but it's still fun to place in the top twenty!

This week's prompt is "Surrealism, using fruit as a subject" which was pretty challenging at first. I am not a big fan of Surrealism, but I do love the party game of making exquisite corpses!



Fun fact: the fabric works as a normal repeat and as a half-drop OR brick repeat! Exciting!

Vote among the 84 (low, this time!) entries here.

PS: I have been making illustrations, too! They'll be up soon, I swear.

Blending In

Last week's results are in, and this week's contest is up! I came in #29 (out of 119) with 174 votes. Yay!

Here's my design for this week's Spoonflower contest. The theme is "camouflage" (which I really, really cannot spell reliably). It was a challenge to get beyond just camo, and the mood and cliche that usually goes along with that. My solution (as usual, it seems) was to go for a cute animal, albeit a cold-blooded one this time.
