I've been playing with colored pencils lately, and it's been fun! I found these fun challenges on
Spoonflower where you design a fabric based on a theme. You know I like playing with the challenges ~
they stretch me to do something different than I'd normally do. The current Spoonflower challenge contest theme is Rain, so thinking of Springtime
(actually I was really pining for Springtime), my entry is called "Showers & Flowers". You can go
here and vote for your favorite Rain entry before April 13th.
I actually have three designs on
my Spoonflower page now. The first one I did is called Rocking the Day Away. I've been on a rocking horse kick lately, and have some other projects in the works using a rocking horse. And that has a coordinate fabric with ABC blocks all over. In Spoonflower you can click on a fabric swatch and then choose to see it in different sizes which is kind of fun to do. The above views are roughly a fat quarter size.
My little drawings are a humble start. I don't have Photoshop software
(nor would I know how to use it if I had it...and I don't have the time to learn it right now, but maybe someday...), so like I said, I'm doing mine the old fashioned way, drawing and coloring with colored pencils ~ and it's actually been a lot of fun to get off of the computer and just create :)
Enjoy the day!
