I kept it simple for this one. I’m a day behind with the daily painting challenge. Time’s a wasting! I had grand ideas for a watercolor composition. Truth be told, I spent a day listening to that wicked voice in my head, telling me I could not pull it off. I did 3 pages of sketches. Then I procrastinated some more, working on other things that need to be done but could have waited until after my deadline.

This came together in under two hours. My quickest design ever. I made the deadline with 15 minutes to spare. I went with a ditsy. Small scale. Suitable to quilting & children’s clothing.

There are so many amazing designs this week. I am slightly embarrassed to post the link for voting. But the world needs ditsy patterns too.

And when thou art weary I’ll find thee a bed,
Of mosses and flowers to pillow thy head.

This week the Spoonflower challenge was for a room specific wallpaper. I saw flowers. An abundance of flowers. I used my 30-Day Creative Gathering palette. When I thought I was done, something, was a little off. I decided to add a touch of warmth with yellow blooms.

Maybe I went a little berserk, but I am very happy with this design. I re-drew most of the blooms. I gave them wider borders to replace minute imperfections. I also gave them new centers. I intended to give the blue center a pattern. Dots or plaid. But I was right up to the deadline, and just spaced it.

What do you think? Pattern or plain? Plaid, or? Maybe there is already enough going on. I look forward to hearing your ideas. 🙂 Voting is open now, until the 16th.

The smallest flower is a thought,
a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole,
of whom they have a persistent intuition.
Honore de Balzac

This collection is huge, you’re right. 3 colorways, 4 patterns, with 2 versions each. With or without the linen effect. A true fabric collection is made of several, completely different, complimentary pattens. With different subjects and in various scales.

Often, when I design, I am thinking of quilting. The parts of a quilt. The coordinating fabrics and how they work as the main design, as trim and as filler.

In addition, I can also take each of these patterns, and scale them down. Make petite versions. Fortunately, Spoonflower makes it very easy to do this.

How does the Meadow flower its bloom unfold?
Because the lovely little flower is free down to its root,
and in that freedom bold.
William Wordsworth
