Vintage Floral Spoonflower Challenge

When Spoonflower announce new design challenges I generally design and enter pretty promptly and with the Vintage Floral one, I’m glad I did. The timeline for this challenge threw everyone a curve ball with the entries closing a week earlier than usual and voting opening while the previous challenge is still running. Two challenges to vote for at once, that is a new one for me.

Floral challenges tend to attract so many designs with 20+ pages to wade through. Flower blindness ensues. But with the weird timeline this week there are only 13 pages!

I was inspired by the chintz type designs used to cover sofas in little English cottages.

Retro Nouveau Spoonflower Challenge

It seems that the prompts for the spoonflower challenges are being written by AI, the images that accompany the prompts are certainly AI and they have been called on that. This is the challenge description

Retro Nouveau

“This mashup mixes the organic motifs and ornate shapes of Art Deco with the bold colors and geometric patterns of a retro vibe.”

Art deco and Art Nouveau are not even that same styles, so the whole thing is very confusing.

Even more confusing is what to design.

I ended up going with a stain glass art nouveau peacock and I actually had a lot of fun with circles in this design, can you see them?

Stone Flow Challenge

I have created quite a few stone and pebble designs over the years and have a whole collection of them. So to come up with something new and fresh is an extra challenge.

I played around with two concepts, rock flow and pebbles and have ultimately entered my pebble design. It was inspired by pebble designs I have created on the beach because I am incapable of sitting still when I go!

Here is the rock flow design I created which I absolutely love but I think the challenge will be chocked full of swirly type designs so I opted to go the pebble route

Autumn Hunt Club Spoonflower Design Challenge

The spoonflower challenge this week is to create a design that channels the vintage Americana-meets-British aristocracy look found in classic country clubs. Having split my life almost 50-50 between the USA and Britain, this prompt spoke to me but have to say the “sport” of hunting is very different either side of the pond.

1970’s Spoonflower Design Challenge

If 70′ decor is making a come back then I cringe, but it is the prompt for this week’s Spoonflower challenge.

I fiddled about with loud geometric shapes but nothing really spoke to me so I went in a completely different direction and ended up channeling platform boots … as you do! It would make a really interesting wallpaper for a vintage clothing store.

I also updated a old design I had done for a previous 70’s challenge to reflect the colorways of my new design
