Hand drawn florals – now there is a prompt that makes me smile. I took a wash and ink approach which results in a very organic look and definitely has that hand drawn vibe.
It looks drop dead gorgeous as a table cloth … high tea anyone?
Or as any sort of bedding – I may never get out of my bed if that is what covered me!
There is something about old keys I find fascinating and they were my inspiration for the Talisman Challenge where the prompt this week was to design a repeat pattern with an object with magical powers to bring good luck.
This is what I rustled up Oh Lucky Keys and I have added it to my It’s My Life collection ( lets face it anything which is a bit out there ends up there!)
Lets hope My Lucky Keys unlock the secret to winning the challenge …hahahah. Gosh that is so corny I am embarrassed to have typed it!
Now I have exposed myself …. go on… humor me with a vote!
Gosh where to go with a prompt like Patchwork for this weeks Spoonflower challenge? I settled on imagining a granny with a huge bag of blue fabric scraps and how those pieces be patched together to make something beautiful. Whimsical trash to treasure if you like.
Doesn’t it make a fabulous duvet cover!
I may have potentially entered something that is going to completely bomb in the challenge… I am sure there will be lots of beautiful and intricate patterns!
The 2021 Chinese New year will celebrate the Year of the Ox and this week the Spoonflower challenge is to create a repeat design to celebrate that magnificent of bovine creature, you guessed it, the Ox.
I went with a traditional Chinese lucky color palette of red and gold with my sweet Oxen dotted among whimsical leafy elements.
It fits nicely in my Whimsical Fantastic Animal collection
