1920’s Wallpaper, Spoonflower Challenge

Deco Diamond Indigo & Gold, © 2022 Sheila Delgado.

Sophistication. Luxury. Sleek geometrics. 1920’s interiors were ornate, elegant and glamorous. Interior design had become a recognized profession. Parisian Art Deco was a major influence. Metallics made everything shine, and jewel tones added sparkle.

My first rendition had the detail at every junction of squares. In the second version, I opened it up, to emphasize the diamond formed in the design. I had a hard time choosing between the gold and the indigo diamond for my entry. I prefer the indigo. I think it is stronger. The gold fits the design brief and that is my entry. Voting is open now until the 15th.

Say, it’s only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn’t be make-believe
If you believed in me
Yes, it’s only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn’t be make-believe
If you believed in me

Paper Moon. Music by Harold Arlen, lyrics by Yip Harburg & Billy Rose

I think this design would work well in many colors. I tried softer tones here. What colors do you think would work? I’d really like to know. I will be adding more variations to my design library. Let me know in the comments. ;o)

Misty Horizon was published in Uppercase Magazine. The acceptance letter arrived over a month ago. I’m so excited to finally be sharing this great news with you.

Here is what I had to say about creating abstract art. I had just come home from the hospital, and I was so worried that I would sound like a dork. Haha. I was very grateful to be home in time to meet the deadline.

Arduous Abstracting. Sheila Marie Delgado

I submitted five pieces. The others were acrylics. I had no idea which had been accepted, until my copy of the magazine arrived today. How exciting!

Limes, watercolor repeating pattern. © 2022 Sheila Delgado.

Do you remember that song? Or the movie it is from? A play on words. Made me laugh. I know, I know. I’m a geek. I recently watched The Movies that Made Us and it was in my head.

This design was recently posted on They Draw dot com. Scroll down on the first page to see it featured with the new designs. WOW! The artists are so amazing. The recipes always make me hungry. Haha. Or go to the design page and leave me some ❤️ and let me know your favorite way to enjoy limes. Thank you. 🥰

This design is available in fabrics, on pillows and finished textiles in my Spoonflower shop. You can also find it on mugs, bags, towels and more at Society6. I really love the Backpack. (click any image for a better view.)
