Happy National Scarf Day!

Happy National Scarf Day! I love scarves, as someone who runs hot and cold from moment to moment, they are a staple accessory for me. In the summer a lightweight scarf is perfect to ward off the chill from air-conditioned spaces. In the fall and winter, they add an extra layer that can be quickly removedContinue reading “Happy National Scarf Day!”

Mini Collection Reveal

OMGOSH. I know this is a lot. I was pretty excited when I received the Fill a Yard sample of my Geometric Bats mini collection from Spoonflower yesterday. I am so happy with the way these came out, even the tone-on-tone dark print. I have a thing for monochrome prints where the pattern is soContinue reading “Mini Collection Reveal”

Monday Mood Board

I’ve been trying to come up with a colorway for my hounds collection that hints towards a pinky pastel sunset. I applied a pink opacity to this photo and also applied an opacity to the photo and placed an opaque pink under it. The original pattern has a lot of green, so I thought IContinue reading “Monday Mood Board”

Sneak Peek Part Two

I wasn’t planning on doing a part two, but, here it is! Originally, the river scene was the hero of the collection, but I didn’t like the way the river looked once the pattern was repeated and scaled. I removed the river completely, which gave me the pattern from yesterday, which also gave me twoContinue reading “Sneak Peek Part Two”

Collection Sneak Peek

It’s been interesting to venture down these new paths. I’m really excited to see the original concept begin to take shape and see the story evolve inContinue reading “Collection Sneak Peek”

Rain or Shine Collection Part 2

An interesting thing happened as I was working on this collection. All the focus was on the whippets (as it should be), but as I pulled the collection apart I discovered I could do some fun things with only a few key patterns from the collection and I think these prints may have more appealContinue reading “Rain or Shine Collection Part 2”

Rain or Shine Collection Part 1

I’m super excited this collection “Rain or Shine” is now available on Spoonflower for purchase! This is a collection that was created with my adventurous whippets in mind. I initially had created many of the motifs for other collections but decided to change them up a bit by using pop art and Memphis design as inspirationContinue reading “Rain or Shine Collection Part 1”

Monday Mood Board

Happy Monday! Well, I don’t entirely understand where this color palette came from, but I actually kind of like it. I may keep it. I have made a lot of progress on this collection so far. I can’t wait to share it. Can you believe it’s June already? It crept up on me so fast,Continue reading “Monday Mood Board”

Monday Mood Board

So, continuing from where I left off last week; We have motifs, we have texture and color. Possibly a title. I’ve made quite a lot of progress, though it may not look like it here. Thought I’d show you seven of the colors and a few of the Illustrator doodles I’ve done. Have a greatContinue reading “Monday Mood Board”
