This week’s Spoonflower design challenge mark the 500th challenge for them and this week there is no design prompt but they want designer to submit a design which showcases their artistic voice and their only guideline is “Be True to Yourself”
The prizes are bigger and juicier than usual so it is game on! Having had 6 top ten placements in the contests since April I am really out to get one of those coveted top three places!
So many of the patterns I create are inspired by nature and my habitat restoration volunteer work on a local Prairie has exposed me to the wonders of grasses and this time of year, drop dead gorgeous seed heads. There are always birds fluttering around pecking at the seeds.
Prairie Birds and Seed heads was born
The design really encompasses my artistic voice. It combines both natural and whimsical elements and tells a simple story.
I am a real sucker for a blue and white color palette so it was no surprise that for a design that completely embodies my artistic voice ended up as blue and white!
I can’t tell you how thrilled I would be if you give me a vote. There are likely to be more than a 1000 entries in this competition and finding a particular design on a page is quite a challenge. The designs are loaded in a random order but there is a little trick you can use to speed things up.
