Apricity

I am betting you have no idea what apricity means and that was me too until about a month ago. It is the theme of this week’s Spoonflower challenge. It means basking in the warm rays of the sun on a cold winter’s day. I am a HUGE fan of doing this!

It is such a wonderful concept and I got so into the prompt. I created a whole collection. But for the challenge I brought two sweet little hedgehogs out of hibernation just so they could enjoy on concept of Apricity!

East Fork Design Challenge

We are back to designing repeat patterns for the Spoonflower challenge this week and it is another East Fork pottery challenge. I have to say I am not in love with the palette for this week and will most likely jazz up the designs I have created with a color palette more pleasing to my eye!

I took a whimsical approach and created a design with mushrooms and mice!

I actually created quite a few design options for this challenge, they are all now for sale in my shop in a new collection which also includes some basic coordinates.

Pantone intangible

Pantone Intangible Palette

This week the Spoonflower challenge is another Pantone challenge, the last of 4 pantone challenge for this year. We started with Viva Magenta– I came 1st, then Ultra Steady , I came first again. The third challenge was Mega Matter – I came 2nd in that one. The pressure is one again to at least get in the top 10!

All of the palettes we have been given to work with have been a tad bit tricky and this week the intangible palette has it’s challenges. The whole brief of the challenge was a little odd but I took my inspiration from the word intangible and thought about the intangible nature of the wind. Windy meadow was born!

Witty Wordplay

It is another Spoonflower wall hanging challenge this week. Wall hangings have never been a big seller for me despite my past entries placing well. The prompt this week is Witty Wordplay.

Here is what I came up with!

Be Pre Peared

It is naff, it is cheesy but I really don’t want to invest any more time on this challenge hahah!

But I also came up with this… but it is a little too risky for a challenge entry. However it is for sale in my shop and would make a great gag gift for Christmas!

Last year I created a tea towel for one of my favorite soups, Carrot and coriander and the previous year it was sugar mice. Before that is was Perfectly Boiled Eggs This year they are calling for festive beverages and this is what I came up with.
