Serene Wallscapes

I am plodding on with my commitment to enter every single Spoonflower challenge again this year. There is so much drama going on around changes coming to the platform for designers and there is so much unknown stuff. Without designers it is a platform of NOTHING. It is all a bit distracting and disheartening.

So let’s go to a serene place for this week’s challenge and float away with some beautiful soft hued swans

Of course I also rustled up a little complimentary design too!

Both can be found in various scales in the Serenity Now Collection

St Patrick’s Day

The prompt for this week’s Spoonflower challenge is “Other Holidays” I have never designed anything for S Patrick’s day which is hugely popular here in the USA so I thought I’d have a bash at that. The strange thing is most Americans don’t realize that St Patrick is just one of the Patron Saints , We also have St David for Wales, St George for England and St Andrew for Scotland!

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!

I also created a monotone repeat of the design… using the Pantone intangible palette. See the Pantone Intangible collection

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!

Vote for Be Pre Peared by Creativeinchi

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!

Every year Spoonflower has a recipe tea towel challenge which are always fun to create. 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.

2024 Calendar

It is that time of year for the Spoonflower calendar challenge. Calendar tea towels have sold quite well for me over the years and I always update past calendars for the new year. Check out my 2024 calendars

I always like to take a look at the designs I have created in the last 12 months and see if any of them speak “calendar ” to me. There were three designs this year.

Waking up with the Birds

Buttercup Meadow

Honeycomb

After much deliberation I went for waking up with the birds, but all the designs are now for sale in my shop!

Cartography Spoonflower Challenge

I was all over the place with ideas for the cartography Spoonflower challenge this week but in the end was drawn to the relationship of a compass the the adventures it can lead to! I absolutely LOVE maps and used to be a wizard using a compass to navigate through tricky terrain while hiking off trail.

Where will the Compass Lead?
