Botanical Sketchbook Collection

In August I created a pattern for the Fabric8 Spoonflower/Moda Fabrics competition. I was thrilled when my design made the Top 100. I recently designed some coordinates to accompany the original pattern. These will be available in my Spoonflower shop soon.

Goodnight, Moon

I couldn't resist creating a sleeping moon pattern for this week's Spoonflower Challenge. Aren't they so dapper, snoring away in their little hats and bow ties? Check out the cool variety designs based on Moon Phases here. Coordinates to come…

Make it in Design Interview

The fantastic folks over at Make It In Design interviewed me about the scholarship I won last year to the amazing online course, The Art & Business of Surface Pattern Design. I can hardly believe the last of the three modules is wrapping up this week! Eek! Where does the time go?

You can read the interview here. They are gearing up to launch the scholarship again, so all you aspiring surface pattern designers out there should give it a shot! What have you got to lose?

A Day for Dandelions

Some days you just feel like making dandelion patterns…
