This week the Spoonflower design challenge is to create a repeat pattern inspired by a cause that is close to your heart. The inspiration for me was easy and motivated by the habitat restoration volunteer work I do with Lake County Forest Preserve.
For about a year and a half I have been working with a great team at Cuba Marsh where we have been restoring the prairie back to it’s former glory by removing invasive shrubs like blackthorn and sowing native seeds.
The results are breathtaking!
and here is my design that they inspired, “Prairie Restoration is Good“
This week the winner will not only win Spoondollars but Spoonflower will also make a $200 donation to the winning designer’s non-profit organization of choice.
Update
Well I didn’t get that coveted first place but came in at a very respectable 4th!
with 279 votes, the most votes I have ever received in a challenge – even more than the challenge I won!
Many thanks to all who voted!
